Developing the Persian version of the Anticipated Turnover Scale (P-ATS) and measuring its psychometric properties among Iranian industrial workers.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to measure the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Anticipated Turnover Scale (P-ATS) using a large sample of workers in the oil industry in Iran (N = 443). The psychometric properties of the scale were assessed using face, content, convergent, and construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability methods. A two-factor solution emerged from exploratory then confirmatory factor analyses. Content validity index and ratio were.93 and.98, respectively. There were high significant correlations between P-ATS and both perceived stress and workability. The Cronbach's alpha was.90 and test-retest correlation coefficient was.87. The P-ATS exhibited very good psychometric properties and can be applied as a useful tool to predict job turnover among Iranian employees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
