Abstract :This study was conducted to adapt the \"Citizenship Fatigue Scale,\" which was developed to measure the \"Citizenship Fatigue\" concept in Turkish culture. The adaptation study was conducted on two samples: academics and teachers. In this study, language, content, construct and criterion validity studies were conducted to determine the validity of the Citizenship Fatigue Scale. After the language validity of the scale was completed, data were collected from 330 teachers and 311 academics and analyses were performed. All analyses were performed using SPSS and AMOS package programs. EFA, CFA and measurement invariance analysis by gender were conducted using the teachers’ data. The other sample group was academics working in public and private universities. With the data collected from this group, CFA and criterion-related validity were tested. The reliability study was carried out with an internal consistency coefficient and test-retest methods, and the scale was found to be reliable. As a result of the analyses, it can be said that the six-item unidimensional Citizenship Fatigue Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool and can be used to measure employees\' citizenship fatigue in both academic and teacher samples.
