N2  - The aim of this study was to run the Turkish adaptation and to test the psychometricproperties of the Turkish version of the Korean Career Stress Inventory (KCSI; Choiet al., 2011). In total 425 voluntary university students enrolled at various departmentsof Istanbul University, whose ages ranged from 17 to 68, participated in the study. Par-ticipants filled in personal information form, the Turkish Version of the Korean CareerStress Inventory, Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES) and Vocational OutcomeExpectations Scale (VOES). Exploratory factor analysis and item analysis were conducted,and the correlations between other scales were analyzed in order to examine the constructvalidity of the scale. Internal consistency and a four week time-span test-retest reliabilitycoefficients were computed to measure the reliability of KCSI. Cronbach alpha coefficientfor internal consistency was .94 with item-total correlations ranging between .44 - .80whereas the test-retest reliability coefficient was .81 for the Turkish version of the KCSI.Factor analyses showed that the items of the KCSI loaded on three factors called “CareerAmbiguity and Lack of Information”, “External Conflict” and “Employment Pressure”which explained 64.7% of total variance. The scores obtained from the Turkish version ofthe KCSI correlated significantly and negatively with the scores obtained from CDSES andVOES. Findings suggest strongly that the Turkish version of the KCSI has a three-factorstructure and it is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to measure career stresslevels of university students. The psychometric properties of the scale were discussed inlight of the relevant literature.
