This study aimed to develop the Korean version of the Dispositional Greed Scale (DGS) and examine the psychometric properties of the measure. In 800 adults, we administered factor analysis to explore the factor structure of the DGS and examine its, reliability and validity. The results showed that the Korean version of the DGS (K-DGS) indicated two factor model fit, having a good reliability. The K-DGS total score was significantly correlated with scores on material value, maximization, dispositional envy, impulsiveness, self-control, problem gambling, and satisfaction with life, which supported the convergent and discriminant validity of the K-DGS. The K-DGS total scale significantly explained the total variance of problem gambling after controlling for the related psychological variables, which supported incremental validity of the K-DGS. These findings suggest initial evidence that the K- DGS can be a reliable, valid measure of dispositional greed among Korean adults. Limitation of this study and implication for the future research were discussed.
