Present study aimed to establish the psychometric properties of Urdu Translation of Organizational Commitment Questionnaire-Revised Version (OCQ-R; Meyer, Allen, & Smith, 1993). This process completed in three phases. Phase-I comprised of forward backward translations and then its linguistic equivalence was estimated with English version of OCQ-R on a group of bilingual respondents (N = 45). In Phase-II, reliability estimation of OCQRV including alpha coefficient index, split half, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was calculated on a sample of 360 respondents (165 men, 195 women) with age range between 25-40 years. Further, OCQ-R test re-test reliability was checked with one-week interval over 42 respondents. All indexes were calculated were found to be significant. In Phase III, OCQ-R validity estimation was established over sample of 310 participants using Urdu version of Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (Petrides & Furnhm, 2006) along with OCQ-R. Findings showed that Urdu version of OCQ-R demonstrated significant positive correlation with Urdu version of Job Satisfaction Survey, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. It was concluded that Urdu version of OCQ-R showed sound psychometric properties and emerged as a culturally valid, reliable, and acceptable tool.

The psychometric properties of the French version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Child Short Form (TEIQue-CSF) were investigated in a sample of 556 children 9 to 13 years of age. The internal consistency and temporal stability were satisfactory. A significant difference for gender, but not for age, was observed. With regard to the factor structure, the best fit was found for a two-factor solution, emotion control and socioemotionality. Regarding convergent validity, positive correlations were found with the total and all except one-factor scores of the Emotion Awareness Questionnaire score (EAQ30). Evidences of concurrent validity were demonstrated, with negative correlations with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) and childhood anxiety sensitivity index (CASI). Results also showed a positive correlation with Children’s Social Desirability Scale (CSD). In conclusion, these findings provide additional support for the use of the TEIQue-CSF for researchers and practitioners who want to assess emotion-related constructs in children.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to Standardize and evaluate the psychometric properties of Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) in the Persian adult population. Method: 551 students completed the Farsi version of this questionnaire, along with the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (SEIS) and the Neo-Five Factor Questionnaire (NEO-FFI). Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis, showed that the Persian version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire consists of four factors: well-being, self-control, emotionality and sociability, which is quite similar to the original study. In order to measure reliability, two methods of internal consistency and split half reliability were used. Cronbachchr('39')s alpha of .95 was calculated for global trait emotional intelligence and ranged from .69 to .90 for factors. In the split half reliability method, the Cronbachchr('39')s alpha test for the first half of the test was .92 and for the second half was .89. The convergent/discriminant validity of this questionnaire was examined using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and the Neo Five Factor Questionnaire. The results showed that this questionnaire had a positive correlation with most subscales of Schutte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and had a negative correlation with the neuroticism subscale of the five-factor questionnaire. In this study, there were gender differences between the scores of women and men, as women had higher scores in global trait emotional intelligence and factors of well-being and emotionality. Conclusion: In general, the findings showed that the Persian version of the TEIQue has an appropriate reliability and validity for measuring this structure in the adult population of Iran.

Araştırma örneklemini, İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nde bulunan futbol kulüplerinin altyapılarında görev yapan, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş 212 antrenör oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu ile 1985 yılında Spector tarafından geliştirilmiş, Yelboğa (2009) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan 9 alt boyuttan oluşan İş Doyum Ölçeği ve Porter ve ark.  (1974) tarafından geliştirilen, Türkçeye uyarlaması ise 2009 yılında Buluç (2009) tarafından yapılan örgütsel bağlılık ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Kullanılan iş doyum ölçeğinin Cronbach Alpha değeri .80 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Örgütsel bağlılık ölçeğinin Cronbach Alpha değeri ise .72 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada verilerin normal dağılım gösterip göstermediği Kolmogrov-Simirnov testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Her iki ölçeğin verilerinin de normal dağılım göstermediği tespit edilmiş ve parametrik olmayan testler kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin ortalama, standart sapma, minimum, maksimum değerler ile yüzdelik sayılar, Kruskal-Wallis ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca altyapı antrenörlerinin iş doyum düzeylerin ve örgütsel bağlılık seviyeleri arasında herhangi bir ilişki olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla Spearman Sıra Farkları Korelasyon Katsayısı testi uygulanmıştır.Araştırmaya katılan altyapı antrenörlerinin iş doyum düzeyleri ve örgütsel bağlılık seviyeleri orta düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Antrenörlerin iş doyum düzeylerinde en düşük değerde tespit edilen alt boyutlar Ödeme ve Prim iken en yüksek değerde tespit edilen alt boyutları ise İşin Doğası ve İş Arkadaşlarıdır. Ayrıca antrenörlerin iş doyum düzeyleri ve örgütsel bağlılık seviyeleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Antrenörler, eğitim durumu değişkeni açısından değerlendirildiğinde, eğitim seviyesi daha yüksek olan antrenörlerin, iş doyum düzeyleri ve örgütsel bağlılık seviyelerinin daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Antrenörler, görev yaptıkları kulüp yapısı değişkeni açısından değerlendirildiğinde ise profesyonel gurubun iş doyum düzeyleri ve örgütsel bağlılık seviyelerinin amatör gruba göre daha yüksek çıktığı tespit edilmiştir.
