Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Job Crafting Scale (JCS; Tims, Bakker, & Derk, 2012). The sample of this study consisted of 364 (193 female and 171 male) teachers. The results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the 21 items loaded on four factors and the four-dimensional model was well fit (x²=340.27, df=175, p=0.00, RMSEA=.049, NNFI=.94, CFI=.95, IFI=.95, RFI=.89, GFI=.92, AGFI=.90, and SRMR=.068). The internal consistency coefficients of four subscales were .90, .72, .76, and .75, respectively. The corrected item-total correlations of JCS ranged from .33 to .87. The t-test results differences between each item’s means of upper 27% and lower 27% points were significant. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale had high validity and reliability scores and that it may be used as a valid and reliable instrument in order to examine job crafting more often and to gain more knowledge about its antecedents and consequences. Nevertheless, further studies such as concurrent validity and test-retest reliability should make for its measurement force.

Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı İş Becerikliliği Ölçeğini Türkçeye uyarlayarak; psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. İstanbul ve Sakarya’da öğretmenlik yapan 364 öğretmen çalışmada yer almış ve veri toplama aracı olarak İş Becerikliliği Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere uygulanana doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucu 21 madde ve 4 alt boyuttan oluşan modelin uyum indeksi değerleri (x²=340.27, sd=175, p=0.00, RMSEA=.049, NNFI=.94, CFI=.95, IFI=.95, RFI=.89, GFI=.92, AGFI=.90, ve SRMR=.068) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık güvenirlik katsayıları sosyal meslek kaynaklarını arttırma alt boyutu için .90, yapısal iş kaynaklarını arttırma alt boyutu için .72, merak uyandırıcı iş taleplerini arttırma alt boyutu için .76 ve engelleyici iş ihtiyaçlarını azaltma alt boyutu için .75 olarak bulunmuştur. Düzeltilmiş madde toplam korelasyonları .33 ile .87 arasında değişirken alt-üst % 27 puanları istatistiksel olarak farklılaşmaktadır. Tüm bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda ölçeğin İş Becerikliliği Ölçeğinin Türkçe formunun iş becerikliliği düzeyini belirlemede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir. Ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik ve test-tekrar test çalışmasının yapılması ölçme gücünün arttırılması açısından son derece önemlidir.
