This study aimed to contribute to the literature on validated calling scales in Türkiye by adapting and validating the Unified Multidimensional Calling Scale (UMCS; Vianello et al., 2018). The UMCS is a comprehensive instrument capturing both internal drives for self-fulfillment—such as passion, pervasiveness, purposefulness, and identity—and external influences shaping a sense of calling, including transcendent summons, prosocial orientation, and sacrifice. The adaptation process involved translation and back-translation to ensure linguistic equivalence. To assess linguistic validity, 39 academicians responded to both Turkish and English versions of the UMCS with a 14-day interval. Item-level correlation analyses demonstrated moderate to high significant associations (r = .383-.855, p < .05), supporting linguistic validity. Construct validity and reliability were then examined with a larger sample of academicians (N = 464). Exploratory factor analysis supported the expected seven-factor structure (total variance explained = 78.90%), while confirmatory factor analysis indicated satisfactory model fit (χ²/df = 3.563; CFI = .926; TLI = .914; RMSEA = .074; factor loadings = .646-.945). Internal consistency coefficients showed high reliability across subdimensions (α = .835-.939). Concurrent validity was supported through significant correlations with the Brief Calling Scale (r = .730, p < .001). Convergent validity was demonstrated via positive associations with work engagement (r = .714, p < .001), and discriminant validity was established through negative relationships with disengagement (r = -.699, p < .001), turnover intention (r = -.371, p < .001), and exhaustion (r = -.367, p < .001). Overall, findings provide strong evidence that the Turkish UMCS is a valid and reliable instrument with sound psychometric properties to assess the seven-dimensional construct of calling within the Turkish cultural context.
