Turkish adaptation of the workplace ostracism scale

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to adapt Ferris et al.’s (2008) workplace ostracism scale into Turkish in two separate studies (Study 1, N = 337) (Study 2, N = 348). We tested the internal consistency, factor structure and construct validity (in terms of convergent validity) and the Turkish version of WOS criterion-related validity. Results indicated that the internal consistency level of the Turkish version of WOS is high and the factor structure is compatible with the original scale. In both studies, findings supported the construct validity. In Study 1, workplace ostracism was positively related to supervisor undermining and turnover intention, and negatively related to interpersonal justice, job satisfaction and psychological well-being. In Study 2, workplace ostracism positively correlated with perceived stress and anxiety and negatively correlated with organizational citizenship behavior and affective commitment. In this respect, evidence supported the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of WOS, and the adapted Turkish version of the scale could be used in future studies. Since WOS is a widely used scale worldwide to measure workplace ostracism, adapting WOS to Turkish following international scale adaptation standards is a remarkable contribution to organizational behavior literature.
