This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale to determine the antecedents and consequences of job stress experienced by school administrators and how they cope with job stress. The study sample consists of a group of 234 school administrators who currently work at the districts of Silivri and Büyükçekmece in Istanbul. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was calculated as .937 and the Barlett test value as 9719.964. After the Exploratory Factor Analysis, a 54-item structure was emerged. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .967 in the antecedents of job stress sub-dimension, .951 in the consequences of job stress and .706 in the strategies for coping with job stress. As a result of the 27% lower and upper group analysis, it was determined that the items and factors were distinctive. The scale is in 5-point Likert type and there is no reverse item in the scale. While a total score is obtained from the sub-dimensions of the scale, a total score cannot be obtained from the overall scale. Finally, it was determined that the scale entitled Marmara Job Stress Scale is a valid and reliable scale that measures the antecedents and the consequences of job stress experienced by school administrators, and their strategies to cope with job stress.
