Abstract
The present study aims to translate and validate Job Satisfaction Survey
(JSS) developed by Spector (1985) into Urdu. Scale linguistic equivalence
was ascertained by bilingual design with a sample (N = 45) of teachers;
and positive correlation (r = .71, p < .01) between Urdu and English
version of JSS was found. Next, JSS reliability was established with a
larger sample (N = 367) teachers revealing high Cronbach’s alpha (r = .88,
p < .01) and split-half (r =.87, p < .01) measures for JSS. Exploratory factor
analysis supported a 9-factor solution for JSS, and when tested again with
test-retest reliability with 42 teachers after one week interval resulted in
high measure of reliability (r = .80, p < .01). Lastly, convergent validities
of JSS were revealed with 310 participants and the correlations with
Organizational Commitment Questionnaire-Revised Version (r = .52, p <
.01), Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (r = .55, p < .01) and Trait Emotional
Intelligence Questionnaire (r = .56, p < .01). All the findings demonstrated
the Urdu version of JSS had sound psychometric properties.
