Abstract

In this research the validity and reliability tests of the Job Crafting Scale developed by Slemp and Vella-Brodrick (2013) were conducted and adapted to the Turkish language. Furthermore, the relationship between job crafting and emotional exhaustion is also examined. Data were collected from 125 industrial operator employees. the results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the fit of the threefactor structure (task crafting, cognitive crafting and relational crafting). The cronbach alpha coefficients of task crafting, cognitive crafting and relational crafting dimensions were calculated as 0,757, 0,860 and 0,844 respectively. Findings have shown that job crafting scale is a reliable and valid instrument and it can be used in the work life in Turkey. Findings have also shown that job crafting (task crafting) affects emotional exhaustion negatively and significantly.
