Abstract

The aim of this study is to contribute to both the academic and business worlds by adapting a scale into Turkish that will allow the quantitative measurement of these two new concepts. In this context, quite quitting and quite firing scales developed by Anand, Doll and Ray (2023) were adapted into Turkish. The data obtained as a result of the survey applied to a sample of employees in different sectors in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) was analyzed using SPSS v25 AMOS v22 software. Validity, reliability, factor analysis and correlation analysis were conducted and it was concluded that the quite quitting and quite firing scales are valid and reliable scales that can also be applied to the Turkish sample group. Thus, it is evaluated that the Turkish literature has been provided with a scale on which the concepts of quite quitting and quite firing can be measured empirically.

SESSİZ İSTİFA VE SESSİZ İŞTEN ÇIKARMA ÖLÇEKLERİ: TÜRKÇEYE UYARLAMA ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Yönetim alanında yaşanan değişim ve gelişmeler sürekli yeni kavramların da ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Sessiz istifa ve sessiz işten çıkarma kavramları da bu şekilde ortaya çıkan yeni kavramlar arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bu iki yeni kavramın nicel olarak ölçülmesine imkân sağlayacak bir ölçeğin Türkçe uyarlanmasını sağlayarak, hem akademik hem de iş dünyasına katkı sağlamaktır. Bu kapsamda Anand, Doll ve Ray (2023) tarafından geliştirilen sessiz istifa ve sessiz işten çıkarma ölçeklerinin Türkçeye uyarlaması yapılmıştır. Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti (KKTC)’nde farklı sektörlerde çalışanların oluşturduğu örnekleme uygulanan anket sonucunda elde edilen veriler SPSS v25 AMOS v22 yazılımları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Geçerlik, güvenirlik, faktör analizleri ve korelasyon analizi yapılmış ve istifa ve sessiz işten çıkarma ölçeklerinin Türk örneklem grubuna da uygulanabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir ölçekler olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Böylece Türk literatürüne sessiz istifa ve sessiz işten çıkarma kavramlarının ampirik olarak ölçülebileceği bir ölçek kazandırıldığı değerlendirilmektedir.
