Citizenship fatigue, which includes the dark side of organisational citizenship behaviour, is characterised by employees feeling worn out, tired and tense after performing organisational citizenship behaviour. This study was conducted to adapt the "Citizenship Fatigue Scale" developed by Bolino et al. (2015) to measure the concept of "Citizenship Fatigue" to Turkish culture. The adaptation study was carried out on two different samples, academicians and teachers. In this study, language, content and construct validity studies were conducted to determine the validity of the Citizenship Fatigue Scale. In the translation process of the scale into Turkish, the method suggested by Brislin (1970) was used. After the language validity of the scale was completed, data were collected from 330 teachers and 311 academicians and analyses were performed. All analyses were performed using SPSS and AMOS package programs. EFA, CFA and measurement invariance analysis by gender were conducted with the data collected from this group. The other sample group was academicians working in public and private universities. With the data collected from this group, CFA and criterion-related validity were tested. The reliability study was carried out with internal consistency coefficient and test-retest methods and the scale was found reliable. As a result of the analyses, it can be said that the six-item unidimensional Citizenship Fatigue Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool and can be used to measure employees' citizenship fatigue in both academician and teacher samples.
