The scale consists of 38 items rated on a 7-point Likert-type scale.

The MSQ was developed by Weiss et al. (1967) to evaluate job satisfaction, and the Turkish validity and reliability study was performed by Baycan (1985). It is a 20-item, 5-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored from 1 to 5. Total Score Range: 20 to 100. Higher scores indicate higher levels of job satisfaction.
