Türkiye’deki İhracatçı Sanayicilerin Endüstri 4.0 ve Döngüsel Ekonomi Uygulamalarına Yönelik Bir Ölçek Geliştirme Çalışması

Bu çalışma sanayicilerin lojistik ve üretim süreçleriyle ilgili dijital teknolojilere dayalı yeni bir iş modeli tasarımının kurumsal performans üzerindeki beklenen etkilerinin incelenmesine yönelik bir araştırma modeli önermektedir. Çalışmanın temel amacı hem Endüstri 4.0 hem de döngüsel ekonomi kavramlarını birlikte ele alan özgün bir ölçek geliştirilmesidir. Bu araştırma her iki güncel yaklaşımın benimsenmesinin önündeki engellerin ve uygulamaya geçmesinde etkili olan itici güçlerin belirlenmesini hedeflemektedir. Literatürdeki mevcut bilgi birikiminin uyarlanmasıyla geniş kapsamlı bir anket formu oluşturulmuştur. Önerilen ölçeğin içerik geçerliliği uzmanlardan oluşan bir ekip tarafından değerlendirilmiştir. Ardından ise sektörde görev alan otuz altı profesyonel uygulayıcı tarafından anket soruları yanıtlanarak veri temin edilme süreci tamamlanmıştır. Yürütülen pilot çalışma verilerine dayanılarak yapılan keşifsel faktör analizi sonucunda ise Endüstri 4.0 ve döngüsel ekonomi ölçeği araştırma modelinin öngördüğü gibi üç alt boyuta yüklendiği gözlenmiştir. Böylece “sürdürülebilir lojistik”, “akıllı üretim operasyonları” ve “dönüşümün önündeki engellerden” oluşmakta olan bu ölçek yapısıyla ileride yapılacak daha geniş kapsamlı araştırmalar için bilimsel birikime katkı veren bir ön çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir.

A Scale Development Study for Turkish Exporting Industries Oriented to the Industry 4.0 and Circular Economy Implementations

This study proposes a research model for investigating the expected effects of new business model design based on digital technologies related to logistics and production processes in manufacturing enterprises on corporate performance. The study's main goal is to create a unique evaluation scale that addresses the concepts of Industry 4.0 and the circular economy. The research aims to identify the barriers to adopting both approaches and the triggering factors in their implementation. A wide-scoped generic questionnaire was created by adapting the existing knowledge in the literature. A team of experts assessed the content validity of the proposed scale. The 36 industry practitioners who replied to the survey contributed to the end of the pilot data collection procedure. Based on the exploratory factor analysis results, the three proposed sub-dimensions of Industry 4.0 and the circular economy scale were loaded as expected. This scale development, which is based on “sustainable logistics”, “smart manufacturing operations”, and “obstacles to transformation”, has been the subject of a preliminary study. On the basis of the knowledge obtained from this exploratory research, it may be possible to conduct large-scale surveys in the future based on the novel scale presented in this study.
