TURKISH ADAPTATION OF THE PROSOCIAL ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORS SCALE: A VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

This study aims to adapt the prosocial organizational behavior scale (POBS) developed by McNeely and Meglino (1994) to Turkish culture. An adaptation study was carried out in a 14-step systematic order. The data were collected from a sample of 600 people actively working in different sectors in the city center of Düzce. The properties of the scale were analysed through internal consistency coefficient, structural validity (EFA&CFA), scope validity, linguistic equivalence, convergent and discriminant validity methods. Results confirmed that POBS adapted in Turkish is a valid and reliable three-dimensional scale with 17 items.
