In addition, there were significant corelations between the Turkish version of the scale and Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire in acceptable level. Cronbach Alpha’s coefficients of internal consistencies range from .78 and .91, split half reliabilities of the items range from .50 and .84 and also test-retest relabilities of the scale range from .71 and .89. In line with these findings the Turkish version of Employees’ Reactions To Problematic Events Scale have sufficently psychometric properties to be used in researches in our countr
