This study may be claimed to be the first step towards investigating the workplace discrimination specific to Mersin in the ?ukurova region in Turkey. In this paper, the Racial/Ethnic Harassment and Discrimination scale and the Diversity Assessment Scale, which had been developed for investigating workplace discrimination, were adapted into Turkish, and their validity and reliability studies were conducted. The sample of the study comprises of 500 participants working in five different workplaces, in which at least 30 people work. At the end of the analyses, the reliability coefficient for all sub-scales of these two scales were found high, and highly satisfying data was obtained considering the item-total correlations in general. In addition, according to the results of t-test conducted with the traditional split half method, statistically significant differences between groups were found for the two sub-tests of the Racial/Ethnic Harassment and Discrimination Scale and the Diversity Assessment Scale.
