Zusammenfassung:Background: Organizational support is crucial to improve workers self-confidence, productivity and creativity. Aim: To translate and validate the "Perceived Organizational Support" (POS) scale in Greek. Methods: Our sample included 114 nurses in Greece. We performed our study during April 2024. We employed the forward-backward method to translate and adapt the POS in Greek language. We examined the construct validity of the POS by performing confirmatory factor analysis. We examined the concurrent validity of the POS using the "Quiet Quitting Scale" (QQS), the single item burnout measure, and the "Global Transformational Leadership" (GTL) scale. We examined the reliability of the POS by calculating Cronbach's alpha. Results: The POS showed very good psychometric properties. Our confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the one-factor structure of the POS. Concurrent validity of the Greek version of the POS was very good. We found statistically significant correlations between the POS and QQS (r = -0.233, p=0.013), and GTL (r = 0.590, p
