Abstract:

The purpose of this study Fear of Missing Out at the workplace can be expressed as a concern that employees may miss valuable business opportunities when they are away from work. The aim of this study is to adapt the Fear of Missing Out in the Workplace Scale (Budnick, Rogers ve Barber, 2020) to Turkish by ensuring its validity and reliability. With the survey method, analyzes were made using the data collected from 217 participants. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, a measurement tool consisting of 10 items and two dimensions (Information and Relational Exclusion) was also found. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model showing 10 items and two dimensions had good fit index values. Corrected item-total correlations of the scale were found at the desired level. As a result, the structure of the scale adapted to Turkish is considered to be a reliable and valid measurement tool. Items of the fear of missing out in the workplace scale, which has not been adapted in the Turkish literature before, are included in the study.
