The Teachers’ Occupational Work Ethic Scale (TOWES) was developed for assessing teachers’ work ethic in Korea. Based on an extensive literature review of work ethic instruments and focus group interviews of 15 principals from elementary, middle, and high schools, 77 initial items were developed. Content and face validity of the items were examined by a panel of experts. A total of 388 teachers across elementary, middle, and high schools provided usable data. Factor analyses verified the scale’s structure as fitting a four-factor model: integrity, interpersonal skills, respect for students, and professional development. Construct validity of the TOWES was established by scores of each of the four factors being moderately correlated. Convergent validity was tested using the Teachers’ Vocation Ethics and the Korean Occupational Work Ethic Inventory-Short Form. Finally, internal consistency was examined using coefficient alpha scores. Implications and suggestions for further studies and practice are discussed.

教师职业道德量表（TOWES）是用来评估韩国教师职业道德的。基于对职业道德手段的广泛文献综述以及对来自小学，初中和高中的15位校长的焦点小组访谈的结果，制定了77项初始项目。专家小组审查了这些物品的内容和面部有效性。小学，初中和高中共有388名教师提供了可用数据。因子分析验证了量表的结构是否符合四因素模型：正直，人际交往能力，对学生的尊重和专业发展。TOWES的构建效度是通过对四个因子的得分进行适度相关来确定的。使用教师职业道德和韩国职业职业道德库存-简短表格测试了收敛效度。最后，使用系数alpha分数检查内部一致性。讨论了对进一步研究和实践的启示。
