Abstract
Concerning on the rise of perpetrating of intimate partner violence (IPV) cases, this study aims to investigate the volition towards IPV among civil servants in Malaysia. The 11-item measure was developed using the concept of volitional help sheet and adapted from the Conflict Tactics Scale 2 of Straus et al. (1996). Exploratory (n=315) and confirmatory (n= 498) factor analytic studies suggest 1-factor structure with adequate model fit. The reliability assessment also found satisfactory. The current findings add to the IPV literature, particularly on the volition of IPV
