Abstract
Purpose: This paper aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the social cyberloafing (SC) scale as an important predictor of the mental health of healthcare employees.
Methods: The data for this descriptive cross-sectional study was obtained from 202 Turkish healthcare employees. We followed Dima's 6-step protocol for validation.
Findings: The one-dimensional structure of the scale was found to be homogenous (H = 0.54) and reliable (α = 0.87). The CFA demonstrated that the 7-item and one-factor construct was a valid instrument to measure the SC (GFI = 0.98, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.95, SRMR = 0.03, RMSEA = 0.09).
Practical implications: These results demonstrated that the Turkish version of the SC scale is an accurate measurement tool.
