Abstract:

 


Proactive work behaviour has become a central topic of interest among scholars in research on organisational behaviour field (Crant, 2000; Grant & Ashford, 2008). Recently, scholars have been paying a great attention to certain behaviours which may increase individual, team, and organisational level of success and performance (Seibert, Kraimer, & Crant, 2001; Sonnentag, 2003). Proactive behaviour is one of those behaviours which has been linked to many positive outcomes including performance (Van Dyne & LePine, 1998), and career satisfaction (Seibert et al., 2001). However, well-validated measures to test the proactivity construct in non-English-speaking populations are limited and this is still a major drawback. The purpose of this study is to explore the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of proactive work behaviour scales. Structural equation modelling supported the instruments’ structure (χ2 / df = 2.38; p <.05; RMSEA=.06; SRMR=.05; CFI = .97; TLI = .96) in Turkish speaking population. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the scales ranged from .86 to .91. Thus, findings from this study have revealed that scales that measure proactive work behaviour components are valid and reliable in Turkish language.
