Örgütsel Değişime Hazır Olma Ölçeği: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Değişime hazır olma kavramı literatürde kapsamlı olarak çalışılmaktadır ve bu kavrama yönelik akademik ilgi her geçen gün artmaya devam etmektedir. Benzer şekilde, Türk araştırmacılar değişime hazır olma kavramını Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından uygulanmakta olan değişim önerilerini incelemede sıklıkla kullanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Örgütsel Değişime Hazır Olma (ÖDHO) ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye uyarlanmasıdır. Araştırmaya, Türkiye’nin faklı illerindeki okul öncesi, ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise türlerindeki okullarda görev yapan 335 öğretmen katılmıştır. Türkçe uyarlaması yapılan ÖDHO ölçeğinin yapı geçerliğini incelemek amacıyla Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. DFA sonuçlarına göre, dört-faktörlü ÖDHO ölçeği ilgili veride iyi uyum göstermiştir. İç tutarlılık değerleri açısından ise, ÖDHO ölçeğine ilişkin Cronbach alfa değerleri .69 ve .89 arasındadır. İlgili sonuçlar, Türkçe’ye uyarlanan ÖDHO ölçeğinin öğretmenlerin değişime hazır olma durumunu ölçme açısından geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir.

Readiness for Organizational Change Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

Readiness for organizational change has been extensively studied in the extant literature over the past years, and scholarly attention towards it continues to increase. Turkish researchers also utilizereadiness for organizational change concept to examine the change practices enacted by Ministry of National Education. The purpose of this study is to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of Readiness for Organizational Change (RFOC) scale into Turkish education setting. The participants of the current study included 335 teachers employed at K-12 public schools located in differentprovinces of Turkey. To test the construct validity of Turkish-adapted RFOC scale, ConfirmatoryFactor Analysis (CFA) was performed. The results of CFA revealed that four-factor RFOC model rovided good fit with the data. The internal consistency estimates of RFOC in terms of Cronbach Alpha ranged between .69 and .89. The reported estimates indicated that Turkish form of RFOC scale can be regarded as a reliable and valid instrument to measure change-readiness level of school teachers in Turkish context.
