The working conditions of individuals in their workplaces must have human conditions. The characteristics that should be in a decent job are listed as safe working conditions, sufficient free time and rest hours, organizational values that complement family and social values, adequate compensation and access to health services. The aim of this research is to study the validity and reliability of the Future Decent Work Scale on Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School students which measures individuals' perceptions of decent work that they can obtain in the future. Within the scope of the validity and reliability studies of the scale, data were collected from 545 Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School students. In order to test the construct validity of the scale, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used and criterion-related validity was examined. Cronbach Alpha and McDonald's Omega coefficients were calculated for reliability studies. As a result of CFA, it was concluded that the goodness of fit indices of the scale indicated good (GFI=.93, AGFI=.90) and acceptable (χ2/df=3.943, RMSEA=.074, SRMR=.069, CFI=.85) level of fit indices. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .77 for the scale. These results show that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool on Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School students.
