Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Norton vd. (2014) tarafından geliştirilen ve Norton vd. (2017) tarafından revize edilen “Yeşil Psikolojik İklim Ölçeği”ni Türkçe’ye uyarlamaktır. Öncelikle orijinal ölçeği geliştiren yazarlardan elektronik ortamda izin alınmıştır. Sonrasında ölçek Türkçe’ye araştırmacı tarafından çevrilmiş ve uzman görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Dil ve anlam bakımından değerlendirmeleri tamamlanan ölçek, Konya ilinde aktif işgücü piyasasının farklı sektörlerindeki (çalıştığı şirkette bir sürdürülebilirlik politikasının var olup olmadığını bilen) 144 tam zamanlı özel sektör çalışanına uygulanmıştır. Örneklem grubundan elde edilen verilere uygulanan açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) sonucunda ölçekteki toplam 5 maddenin tek faktör altında örüntülendiği ve tek faktöre ait toplam varyans açıklama oranının %66.709 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen faktör yapısının doğruluğunu incelemek için uygulanan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) sonucunda ki-kare uyumu beklendiği şekilde anlamsız çıkmıştır (p>0.05). χ2/SD, RMSEA, GFI, CFI, IFI, RFI, NFI, TLI, RMR değerlerinin mükemmel uyum derecesinde; SRMR ve AGFI değerlerinin iyi uyum derecesinde olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik düzeyini inceleyebilmek için yapılan Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı α=0.872 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Madde toplam korelasyon katsayıları 0.803 ile 0.521 aralığında bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin %27’lik alt ve üst gruplardaki madde puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.000). Sonuçta Türk kültürüne uygun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek (Yeşil Psikolojik İklim Ölçeği) elde edilmiştir.

GREEN PSYCHOLOGICAL CLIMATE SCALE: STUDY OF ADAPTION TO TURKISH

Abstract

The aim of this research is to adapt to Turkish the "Green Psychological Climate Scale" which is developed by Norton et al. (2014) and is revised by Norton et al. (2017). First of all, permission to use the scale was obtained electronically from the authors who developed the original scale. Afterwards, the scale was translated into Turkish by the researcher and the opinions of the experts were taken. The scale, completed in terms of language and meaning, was applied to 144 full-time private sector employees (who know whether there is a sustainability policy in their company) in different sectors of the active labor market in Konya province. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), it is determined that total of 5 items in the scale were patterned under one factor and the total variance explanation rate of a single factor was 66.709%. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), it is determined that chi-square fit was meaningless as expected (p>0.05). It is determined that χ2/SD, RMSEA, GFI, CFI, IFI, RFI, NFI, TLI, RMR values were in perfect fit degree; SRMR and AGFI values were in good fit degree. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient for the scale was α=0.872. Item total correlation coefficients were determined between 0.803 and 0.521. It has been determined that the difference between the item score averages in the lower and upper groups of 27% of the scale was significant (p=0.000). As a result, a valid and reliable scale (Green Psychological Climate Scale) suitable for Turkish culture was obtained.
