Workaholism has become an increasingly important issue in contemporary workplaces due to rising productivity demands and the widespread adoption of digital work practices. Despite the growing interest in this construct, the availability of comprehensive measurement instruments remains limited. This study aimed to develop a workaholism scale for workers based on four dimensions: motivational, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral, and to evaluate its psychometric properties. A quantitative instrument development approach was employed by constructing an initial pool of 40 items derived from the conceptual framework of workaholism. The instrument was evaluated through expert judgment for content validity, followed by construct validation using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and internal consistency testing with Cronbach's Alpha. The findings indicated that 39 items demonstrated satisfactory content validity, while the CFA results supported the four-dimensional measurement model after item refinement. The final instrument consisted of 25 valid items with excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.879). These findings suggest that the developed instrument provides a reliable and valid measure of workaholism and can be used to assess workaholism tendencies among workers in future organizational and psychological research.
