Turkish Adaptation of the Implementation Leadership Scale Developed through the Framework of Evidence–Based Practices Model

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt the original version of Aarons et al.’s (2014) Implementation Leadership Scale (ILS) which was based on Evidence-Based Practices Model to Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results (n = 412), factors were yielded four dimensions as in the original scale. While the item-total correlation coefficients of the Turkish ILS ranged from 0.29 to 0.83, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for Turkish ILS was 0.91. Besides, convergent validity and discriminant validity were evaluated to strengthen construct validity of the Turkish ILS. Linguistic equivalence of the Turkish ILS was also tested. The findings proved that ILS had an adequate level of reliability and validity over Turkish sample.

Kanıta Dayalı Uygulamalar Modeli Çerçevesinde Geliştirilen İcraatçı Liderlik Ölçeği’nin Türkçe Uyarlaması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı Aarons ve arkadaşları (2014) tarafından Kanıta Dayalı Uygulamalar Modeli çerçevesinde geliştirilen İcraatçı Liderlik Ölçeği’ni Türkçe’ye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. 412 katılımcıdan elde edilen verilere uygulanan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre, ölçeğin orijinal formundaki gibi dört boyutlu bir yapıda olduğu saptanmıştır. Türkçe İcraatçı Liderlik Ölçeği’nin madde-toplam korelasyon katsayılarının 0.29 ile 0.83 arasında olduğu gözlemlenmiş, iç tutarlık katsayısı α = 0.91 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca,  ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğini kuvvetlendirmek adına ölçeğin birleşim ve ayrışım geçerlilikleri de değerlendirilmiştir. Türkçe İcraatçı Liderlik Ölçeği’nin dilsel eşdeğerliliği de test edilmiş olup Türkçe ve İngilizce uygulamalar arasında yüksek düzeyde pozitif ve anlamlı ilişkilere rastlanmıştır. Analiz bulguları, İcraatçı Liderlik Ölçeği’nin Türkiye’deki örneklem üzerinde yeterli düzeyde geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik değerlerine sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
