Motivasyonel dil (MD) teorisi ve ölçme aracının Türkçede geçerlik ve güvenilirlik analizi

Liderlik ve iletişim yazını incelendiğinde, 1990'lı yıllara kadar, liderin kullandığı dil ve bu dilin içeriğine ait söz edimlerinin, bireysel ve örgütsel çıktılar üzerinde nasıl bir etki yarattığına ilişkin yeterli sayıda araştırma bulunmadığı gözlenmektedir. Sullivan (1988) tarafından geliştirilen Motivasyonel Dil Teorisi'nin yazındaki bu eksikliği gidermeye yönelik ilk kapsamlı çaba olduğu söylenebilir. Mayfîeld, Mayfield ve Kopfun (1995) bu teoriyi temel alarak geliştirdikleri Motivasyonel Dil Ölçeği ise konu ile ilgili görgül araştırmaların önünü açmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Mayfield, Mayfield ve Kopf (1995) tarafından geliştirilen söz konusu ölçeğin Türkçe'deki geçerlilik ve güvenilirliliği sınanmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde ölçeğin yüksek geçerlilik ve güvenilirliğe sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Motivasyonel Dil Ölçeğinin bundan sonra Türk örneklem üzerinde yapılacak görgül araştırmalara katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

The relaibility and validity analyses of motivational language theory and scale

When the literature of leadership and communication is examined, it can be identified that until 1990s, there was not enough study on the effects of a leader's language and its content on motivation and performance of employees. This gap was filled in theoretical dimension by the Motivating Language Theory by Sullivan (1988) and as an extension of this theory, the Motivating Language Scale developed by Mayfield, Mayfield and Kopf (1995) based on the former study closed in practical dimension. In this study, the scale developed by Mayfield, Mayfield and Kopf (1995) has been tested for its validity and reliability. As a result of analyses carried out, it has been determined that the scale has a high rate of validity and reliability. Therefore, it is assessed that this scale can contribute to empirical studies in the future.
