Örgütsel Çeviklik Ölçeğinin Türkçeye Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı Sharifi ve Zhang (1999) tarafından geliştirilen Örgütsel Çeviklik Ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanmasıdır. Çeviklik literatürde üretim sürecinde örgütsel çeviklik ise teknoloji ve çevreye uyum sağlama sürecinde rol oynayan önemli bir faktör olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu nedenle işletmenin iç ve dış değişimlere uyum sağlaması bu sayede varlığını sürdürmesi için farklı değişkenlere ihtiyaç duymaktadır.  Bu değişkenlerle ilişkili geniş araştırma yelpazesini tanımlatacak aracı değişkenler için gelecekteki araştırmalarda kullanılmak üzere Örgütsel Çeviklik Ölçeğinin Türkçeye adaptasyonu önemli olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Araştırma Manisa ve İzmir ilinde faaliyet gösteren KOBİ ve Teknopark firmalarında iş gören ve farklı kademelerdeki yöneticiler arasında üç farklı örneklem ile yürütülmüştür. Ölçek uyarlama süreci Brislin geri çeviri prosedürü takip edildi. Araştırma bir ölçek uyarlama çalışması olduğu için öncelikle dil geçerliği için biri daha önce ölçek geliştirme konusunda deneyimli olan İngilizceye hâkim iki akademisyen tarafından Türkçeye uyarlaması yapılmıştır ve bu işlemin ardından ilk tercümeyi yapanlardan farklı İngilizceye hâkim iki akademisyen tarafından tekrar İngilizce ve Türkçe çevirisi yapılmıştır. Dil geçerliği sağlandıktan sonra ölçeğin yapı geçerliği ve güvenirlik analizi incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini belirlemek için öncelikle Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapılmış, ölçek orijinaldeki gibi 4 faktörlü çıkmış fakat uyum değerleri kabul edilen değer aralığında çıkmadığı için Keşfedici Faktör Analiz(KFA) yapılmış ve KMO 0,895 ve Barlett testi χ2 değeri ise 1668,129(p<001) olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca toplam varyansın % 64,53’ünü açıklayan dört faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. KFA’dan elde edilen madde-faktör yapısının doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile model uyumu tekrar test edilmiştir. Buna göre Örgütsel Çeviklik Ölçeği’nin dört faktörlü yapısının doğrulandığı görülmüştür (X2=211,866, sd=110, p=.000, X2/sd=1.92). Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) uyum indekslerine bakıldığında RMSEA= 0,05, NFI=0,96, GFI= 0,92 ve AGFI= 0,90 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini belirlemek için yapılan toplam iç tutarlılık katsayısının α=.92, yetkinlik boyutunun α=.84, esneklik boyutunun α=.81, cevap verme boyutunun α=.74 ve hız boyutunun ise α=.85 olduğu ve ölçeğin iç tutarlılığa sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular Örgütsel Çeviklik Ölçeğinin Türkçe Formunun kabul edilebilir değerlerde güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.

Adaptation to Turkish of Organizational Agility Questionnaire: Reliability and Validity Study

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt Organizational Agility Questionnaire developed by Sharifi and Zhang (1999) to the Turkish. In the literature, agility is defined as an important factor playing a role in the production process while organizational agility is defined as an important factor playing a role in the process of adaptation to technology and the environment. Enterprises should adapt to both internal and external changes and by this way, they may maintain their presence. For this reason, to be used in different variants and a wide range of related research, the adaptation of the Organizational Agility Questionnaire to Turkish is important. The research was conducted with three different samples including employees and managers who work in SMEs and Technopark firms operating in Manisa and İzmir. Since the study is a questionnaire adaptation, first of all, for the validity of language, the adaptation of the questionnaire was done by two academicians one of whom was experienced in the adaptation of questionnaire before and after that translation of questionnaire Turkish and English was done by two different academicians mentioned above. After validating the language, the validity and reliability analysis of the questionnaire were examined. Firstly, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was done in order to determine the construct of the questionnaire; the results showed that the questionnaire has 4 factors the same as the original. Since goodness-of-fit index of the CFA was not in the acceptable range, the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed. The results of the EFA analysis showed that KMO value was .895, Bartlett test χ2 value was 1668,129 (p <.001).  In addition, four-factor structure was obtained that describes the 64,53% of the total variance. Item-factor structure obtained from the EFA analysishas been tested for compliance with a model by the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Based on this, four-factor structure of the Organizational Agility questionnaire has been validated (X2=211,866, df=110, p=.000, X2/df=1.92). Goodness-of-fit indexices of the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed that goodness-of-fit values are in the acceptable range ( RMSEA=.005, NFI=.96, GFI=.92, AGFI=.90). All constructs obtained Cronbach Alpha(α) greater than 0.7. The coefficient of the total internal consistency was found α=.92, competency dimension was α=.84, flexibility dimension was α=.81, responsiveness dimension was α=.74 and quickness dimension was α=.85 in the questionnaire which determined there liability of the questionnaire and showed that questionnaire had internal consistency. The results of the EFA analysis and CFA analysis applied for adaptation of Organizational Agility questionnaire to the Turkish, it can be said that the questionnaire is a reliable and valid measurement tool.
