Abstract

The aim of this study is to adapt Workplace Mistreatment Scale (WMS) developed by Harlos and Axelrod (2005) into Turkish. The scale was conducted to 297 university students at Kocaeli University, Faculty of Education. For construct validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. According to the exploratory factor analysis results, the 16 items of the scale generated two factors and these two factors explained 60.84% of total variance. The factor loadings of items changed between 0.54 and 0.84. Cronbach Alpha reliability value was found to be 0.94. According to confirmatory factor analysis results, it was found out that the fit index of this two dimensional structure is in good degree (RMSEA=.063, RMR=..055, CFI=. 99, NNFI=.98). Lastly, Cronbach Alpha reliability of the scale was found to be 0.94. As a result of this study, it has been found that Harlos and Axelrod’s Workplace Mistreatment Scale is a valid and reliable instrumentation for educational organizatio
