AB  - This study attempts to examine the psychometric properties of the job characteristics construct which integrates 5 subscales-skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback using a Malay language version of the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). A priori proposition was made that job characteristics could be explained by the 5 aforementioned factors. SPSS version 14 and AMOS 16 were used to analyze the data. The results supported the hypothesis of the study that job characteristics can be measured by the 5 theorized factors. The findings also showed acceptable internal consistency reliability for the overall and the 5 specific subscales of job characteristics factor. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the Malay translated version of JDS can be a useful instrument in assessing the job characteristics construct.
