Construct validity and predictors of three-dimensional citizenship performance in Turkey

Abstract

The current study examined the construct validity and predictors of the three-dimensional citizenship performance construct in employed samples in Turkey. Three independent studies were conducted. First, the face and content validity of the citizenship performance construct was examined in a sample of ten participants via semi-structured interviews. Second, the factor structure, discriminant validity, and internal consistency of citizenship performance were examined in a sample of 213 employees. Third, utilizing the target similarity model, the relationships of citizenship performance with personality variables, job involvement, job satisfaction, group cohesiveness, organizational justice, and organizational commitment were tested in a sample of 613 participants. Results provided psychometric support for the three-dimensional citizenship performance conceptualization and scale in the Turkish context. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
