Proactivity is the most popular concept of positive psychology
in industrial and psychological area. Thus the aim of this
research is to adapt the Short Version of Proactive Personality
Scale with 10–item (Claes, Beheydt, & Lemmens, 2005) into
Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The
research was conducted on 332 university students. Results of
language equivalency showed that the correlations between
Turkish and English forms were ranged from .74 to .90. The
corrected item-total correlations ranged from .52 to .66.
Results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the
ten items loaded on one factor and the uni-dimensional model
was well fit (x2= 47.91, df= 29, x2/df= 1,65, RMSEA= .044,
NFI= .99, CFI= .99, IFI= .99, RFI= .97, GFI= .97, AGFI= .95,
SRMR= .033). The internal consistency reliability coefficient
of the scale was found as .86. Thus this scale is a valid and
reliable instrument.
