Abstract

The purpose of this study
is to develop a valid and reliable scale in order to determine the competencies
of school managers in managing the emotions of teachers during the change
process in schools. In this respect, an item pool, based on the literature and
consisting of 52 items, was presented to get the experts’ views. The final-form
involving 40 items were constituted in line with the recommendations and
suggestions and implemented among 312 teachers working in Uşak. The construct
validity of the scale was tested with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In the result of (EFA), “The scale of
emotions management competencies in the change process” which consists of 21
items, were appointed to have three factors. In addition to this, it was
revealed that the scale explained the 77.11 percent of variance. In the
analysis of items, it was revealed that item-total correlations and item
distinctiveness were high. (CFA), which was implemented to confirm the
construct, demonstrated the high levels of goodness of fit indexes in three-
factor construct of the scale.  The
Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients of the factors and the whole scale construct
points that scale is reliable. In line with these findings, it can be concluded
that the scale is a valid and reliable tool which can be used to determine the
competencies of school managers in managing the emotions in the change process.
