Etik Liderlik Ölçeğinin Türkçe Formunun Güvenilirlik ve Geçerlilik Çalışması

Etik liderlik “eylemlerinde ve kişilerarası ilişkilerinde normatif uygunluk dâhilinde yönetim sergileyen; izleyicilere iki yönlü iletişim, pekiştirme ve karar almada etik düşünce yapısını teşvik eden bir liderlik yaklaşımı” olarak ifade edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada etik liderlik olgusu kuramsal yönleri ile açıklanmış; ardından etik liderlik çalışmalarında kullanılmak üzere De Hoogh ve Den Hartog (2008) tarafından geliştirilen Etik Liderlik ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye çeviri, uyarlama geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılarak elde edilen bulgular tartışılmıştır. Ölçeğin tümü için Cronbach alfa katsayısı 0.965 olarak hesaplanmış; faktör analizi sonuçları ise Türkçe ölçeğin orijinal ölçekle benzer bir yapıda olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç itibari ile çevirisi yapılan etik liderlik ölçeğinin geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin yüksek olduğu ve çevirisi yapılan etik liderlik ölçeğinin Türkiye’de yapılacak çalışmalara kullanabileceğini göstermektedir

Thereafter ethical leadership scale developed by De Hoogh and Den Hartog (2008) translated to Turkish as well as its validity and reliability, and the findings have been discussed. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for the whole scale computed .965. The factor analyses of the translated scale results shows similar structure as the original scale. As a result, the translated scale demonstrates high reliability and validity and the results have shown that the translated version of the ethical leadership scale is a valid instrument to be used in studies in Turkey
