Abstract

This study aimed to adapt and validate the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) developed by Çalışkan and Köroğlu (2024) for use in the Indonesian context. The adaptation process followed the International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines, including forward–backward translation, expert review, and readability testing. A quantitative ex post facto research design was employed, involving 250 employees from both public and private sectors across Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha to assess internal consistency and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to evaluate construct validity. The results demonstrated excellent internal consistency for the overall scale (α = 0.956), with strong reliability coefficients for the Internal Satisfaction dimension (α = 0.901) and the External Satisfaction dimension (α = 0.925). The CFA results indicated an excellent model fit, with goodness-of-fit indices meeting recommended criteria (CFI = 0.999; RMSEA = 0.025), thereby confirming the two-factor structure of the scale. These findings indicate that the Indonesian version of the JSS possesses robust psychometric properties and can be considered a valid and reliable instrument for assessing job satisfaction among Indonesian employees. The scale is therefore suitable for use in both research and organizational assessment contexts. Future studies are recommended to examine measurement invariance across different occupational groups and regional settings to further strengthen the generalizability and applicability of the instrument.
