Abstract

Son yıllarda örgütsel davranış alanında yeni kavramlardan biri de ısrar kavramıdır. Israr, zorluklara rağmen hedeflere ulaşmayı sağlayan kişisel bir eğilimdir. Bu açıdan hem bireysel hedefler hem de örgüt ortamında örgütsel hedeflere ulaşmada önemli bir davranış olduğu görülmektedir. Israrı ölçmek ve ilişkili olduğu değişkenleri belirlemek hem araştırma hem de uygulama açısından önemlidir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, Howard ve Crayne (2019) tarafından geliştirilmiş olan Israr Ölçeği’nin Türkiye koşullarında geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmalarını yapmaktır. Bu doğrultuda Israr Ölçeği’nin Türk kültürüne uyarlaması yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin faktör yapısı doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile test edilmiştir. DFA ile elde edilen bulgular, χ2/df=2.06; RMSEA=.06; SRMR=.02; CFI=.98; GFI=.93; AGFI=.89 şeklindedir. Elde edilen uyum indeksleri kabul edilebilir değerlerde olup, ölçek orijinaldeki üç faktör yapısını doğrulamıştır. Ölçeğin zorluklara rağmen ısrar, korkuya rağmen ısrar, uygunsuz ısrar faktörlerinin Cronbach Alfa değerleri sırasıyla .95; .94; .80 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ölçeğin birleşme ve ayrışma geçerliğini de sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, Israr Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun geçerli ve güvenilir olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

Adaptation of the Persistence Scale to Turkish: A Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

In recent years, one of the new concepts in the field of organizational behavior is the concept of persistence. Persistence is a personal disposition to achieve goals despite difficulties. In this respect, it is seen as an important behavior in achieving both individual and organizational goals in organizational environments. Measuring persistence and identifying the variables associated with it are important for both research and practice. The main purpose of the study is to conduct validity and reliability studies of the Persistence Scale developed by Howard and Crayne (2019) in the conditions of Turkiye. In this direction, the Persistence Scale was adapted to Turkish culture. The factor structure of the scale was tested with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Findings obtained by CFA, χ2/df=2.06; RMSEA=.06; SRMR=.02; CFI=.98; GFI=.93; AGFI=.89. The obtained fit indices were at acceptable values, and the scale confirmed the original three-factor structure. The Cronbach Alpha values of the factors of persistence despite difficulties, persistence despite fear, and inappropriate persistence of the scale were; .95, .94, and .80 respectively. It was determined that the scale also provided convergent and divergent validity. The results revealed that the Turkish version of the Insistence Scale was valid and reliable.
