Summary/Abstract: This research aimed to develop the Relative Deprivation Scale to determine teachers' perceptions of relative deprivation. The study group of the research consisted of 427 teachers working in public and private schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. A total of 46 items were created for the scale. The KMO test value, which was conducted to determine the suitability of the data for factor analysis, was calculated as 0.899. Expert opinion was taken to ensure the content validity of the scale. The Relative Deprivation Scale explained 48,590% of the total variance. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, it was seen that the scale consisted of three factors: "Administrative Deprivation", "Personal Deprivation" and "Developmental Deprivation". The internal consistency coefficient calculated for the Relative Deprivation Scale is 0.78. In addition, confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the construct validity of the scale. The obtained values showed that the scale was valid and reliable.
