TÜRK ÖRGÜT ÇEVRESİ İÇİN BİR DÖNÜŞÜMCÜ LİDERLİK ÖLÇEĞİ GELİŞTİRME ÇALIŞMASI

Dönüşümcü liderlik, on yıllar boyunca ilgi çekici bir araştırma konusu olmuştur. Değişik akademisyenlerce geliştirilmiş çeşitli dönüşümcü liderlik ölçekleri bulunmaktadır. İşbu çalışma, Türk örgüt çevresi için bir dönüşümcü liderlik ölçeği geliştirmeyi amaçlamıştır. İki odak grup ve dört derinlemesine görüşme yürütülmüş ve bir anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu sürecin sonunda ortaya çıkan maddeler Podsakoff, Scott ve Bommer’in 1996 Dönüşümcü Liderlik Davranışı Envanteri’ndeki bazı maddelerle birleştirilmiş, böylece içerik geçerliği sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Güvenirlik, yakınsama geçerliği ve ayırt edici geçerlik MTMM matrisi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Yeni oluşturulan Dönüşümcü Liderlik Ölçeği’nin nomolojik geçerliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla dönüşümcü liderlik ve iş memnuniyeti Minnesota Memnuniyet Ölçeği ile ölçülmüştür arasındaki Pearson korelasyon değerleri incelenmiş ve nomolojik geçerlik tespit edilmiştir

DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP SCALE FOR THE TURKISH CONTEXT

Transformational leadership has been an interesting research topic for decades. There are several transformational leadership scales developed by different academicians. The purpose of this study is to develop a transformational leadership scale for the Turkish organizational setting. Two focus groups and four in-depth interviews were conducted, and a survey was carried out. Items generated at the end of this process were combined with some items of Podsakoff, Mackenzie and Bommer’s 1996 scale, namely the Transformational Leadership Behavior Inventory TLI to ensure content validity. Reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity are assessed by means of the Multitrait-Multimethod MTMM Matrix. The nomological validity of the newly created Transformational Leadership Scale TLS is also checked by examining the Pearson correlation values between transformational leadership measured by TLS and job satisfaction measured by Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, MSQ . The correlation values indicate nomological validity for the transformational leadership scale
