Abstract
The goal of this research is to construct a Turkish version of Callan and Shead's Personal Relative Deprivation Scale (2011). Academic employees of Suleyman Demirel University (N=210) consist of the study's sample. Converting the scale to Turkish was examined for its language, content, construct validity, and reliability. The exploratory factor analysis revealed that 61.2 percent of the overall variation could be explained, and the expressions are grouped into a single dimension. After removing one item with a low factor load from the analysis, confirmatory factor analysis of the 4-item scale revealed that the one-dimensional model fit well (χ2 = 6,25; χ2/sd = 3,125; RMSEA = 0,078; GFI = 0,979; AGFI = 0,956; NFI = 962; CFI = 0,969; TLI = 0,958). The scale's internal consistency coefficient is determined to be .77, and the comparable halves' Spearman-Brown coefficient (Split Half) value is found to be .80. The outcomes of the study led to the conclusion that the Relative Deprivation Scale is a robust and reliable measurement tool that appropriated Turkish culture.
