A validity and reliability study of the performance appraisal motivation scale in a Turkish sample.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo conduct the cultural adaptation of the Performance Appraisal Motivation Scale (PAMS) for use in the Turkish context and to evaluate its validity and reliability.
methodsThe study was conducted across various healthcare institutions in Türkiye. The sample consisted of 563 nurse managers. Data were collected using a Participant Information Form, Turkish version of the Performance Appraisal Motivation Scale (PAMS-T), and the Satisfaction with Performance Appraisal Scale. The psychometric evaluation of the PAMS-T included comprehensive analyses of content validity, construct validity, criterion validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and item-total correlation.
findingsThe Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett's test of sphericity indicated that the data were suitable for factor analysis. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a five-factor structure, accounting for 81.37% of the total variance. Item-total correlation coefficients exceeded the acceptable threshold (r > 0.30, p < 0.01), ranging from 0.594 to 0.833, indicating strong item discrimination. Construct validity was supported by a strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation between the PAMS-T and the Satisfaction with Performance Appraisal Scale (r = 0.729, p = 0.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the overall scale was 0.932.
conclusionsThe findings demonstrate that the PAMS-T is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing performance appraisal motivation among nurse managers in Türkiye. Future research should apply the PAMS-T in diverse socio-cultural settings and incorporate longitudinal designs to explore the dynamics of performance appraisal motivation over time. Routine administration of the scale can facilitate the monitoring of evaluator motivation and inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at improving the effectiveness of performance appraisal processes.
