Abstract :This study aims to investigate workplace telepressure, defined as the pressure to constantly respond to work-related messages, and to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Workplace Telepressure Scale within the context of Türkiye. In this regard, data were collected from 310 participants working in different sectors and analyzed through descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling using SPSS and AMOS 21.0. Results showed that exploratory factor analysis resulted in two dimensions (preoccupation and urge), with an eigenvalue greater than 1, thus explaining 81.97% of total variance. Additionally, confirmatory factor analysis revealed that workplace telepressure comprises two factors (preoccupation and urge), with factor loadings, composite reliability, Cronbach\\\'s Alpha, and AVE values exceeding the recommended threshold, thereby, supporting reliability and validity. Finally, the results of nomological validity showed that workplace telepressure was negatively related to job satisfaction. Furthermore, the workplace telepressure was negatively related to employee performance. Additionally, job satisfaction was positively related to employee performance.
