The Job Demands-Resources Scale: A Reliability and Validity Study

Abstract

The Job Demands-Resources Model proposes that working conditions may relate to job outcomes in different ways. According to this model, high job demands, and low job resources cause an increase in factors such as stress and burnout. This study aimed to adapt the Job Demands-Resources Scale (JD-R Scale) to Turkish context and to examine its the reliability and validity. Data were collected in two different stages; therefore, two separate samples participated in this research (n1= 244- women= 119 and men= 125, and n2= 227- women= 117 and men= 110 academicians). In the first stage, the JD-R Scale and demographic information form were utilized. In the second stage, the JD-R Scale, Work Engagement Scale, and demographic information form were used. Principal component analysis with a Promax rotation revealed 35 items and seven factors which explained 69.99% of the total variability. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable fits. Significant correlations were found between dimensions of the JD-R Scale and work engagement. The reliability coefficients were also found to be acceptable. It can be concluded that the JD-R Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing job demands and resources in Turkey.
