Abstract

The major objective of the current study was  to establish the psychometric properties,  i-e, to translate, validate, and determine validity of  the Organizational Role Stress Scale (Pareek, 1983), the Job Satisfaction. Scale (Hackman & Oldham, 1975) the Maslach Burnout Inventory  (Maslach & Jackson, 1986) and the Social Support Scale  (Caplan, Cobb, French, & Harrision,1975) in  Urdu.  The process of scales translation was carried out by following the translation and adaptation guidelines given by Brislin (1980). The items were translated in accordance with the local values. Initially the reliability of the translated instruments was tested on a sample of (N = 120) married couples (male n = 58 & female n = 62). The translated version showed high reliability of α = .90 which indicates that it is an adequate scale to be used with Pakistani married people. In order to validate its factor structure the Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed on a sample of (N = 400) people (husbands n = 200 & wives n = 200). The result  showed that the translated scale is  a valid measure to be used in Pakistani population in research and clinical  setting.
