Developing, Testing and Implementing the Scale of Teachers’ Professional Well-Being
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Teachers’ Professional Well-being Scale. A total
of 301 subject teachers working in primary and lower secondary public schools located in Aksaray province
comprised the sample. In developing the scale we followed steps of scale development process and carried out EFA
and CFA, examined item-total correlations (.43 < r < .68), and tested reliability (α=.90) of the scale. Depending on the
data, we concluded that teachers have a good level of professional well-being ( x =5.74, Sd=.71) and they are eager
to perform better their profession, to follow new developments and to try new things in teaching profession. Besides,
the study displayed that teachers’ demographic characteristics are not meaningful variables in explaining variances of
their perceptions of professional well-being.
