Abstract

This pilot study was carried out in order to validate the reliability of the instrument used to measure the self-change of low performance public service officers by using a questionnaire that had been developed known as the Personal Wellness Questionnaire.  This instrument consisted of 84 items divided into six sections, section A was demographics and sections B, C, D, E and F consisted of five sub-constructs of self-change namely emotional, psycho-spiritual, social, cognitive, and behavioural adjustment. A total of 30 low-performing public service officers at a ministry in Putrajaya were involved in the piloting. The measurement of Rasch Model version 3.72.3 was also used to obtain item reliability value of 0.89 and respondent reliability of 0.95 for this instrument. This indicated that the items used were very good and in effective condition with a high level of consistency and can be used in actual research. The final analysis found that 24 items were removed because they did not meet the criteria, did not match the correct constructs and did not comply with the criteria set by the researchers. The final instrument showed a total of 51 appropriate items for measuring the five sub-constructs of self-change
