Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the content validity of an instrument that had been developed to assess the innovative work behaviour among school teachers. The content validity of the instrument was investigated based on the view of six experts. The item content validity index (I-CVI) and scale content validity index (S-CVI) were implemented for content validity. Four dimensions namely; opportunity exploration, idea generation, idea promotion, and idea realization having 5 items each were identified. The item content validity index (I-CVI) ranged from 0.93 to 1 and the scale content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) for opportunity exploration, idea generation, idea promotion and idea realization dimension of innovative work behaviour was 0.97, 0.97, 1.00 and 0.93 respectively. The instrument is assessed with high content validity. The future research can ensure checking the instrument for reliability and other forms of validity such as face, construct, and criterion validity for better applicability of the assessment instrument. © IJSTR 2020.
