Kripto Yatırım Güven Ölçeği Geliştirme: İstanbul İl Sağlık Müdürlüğü Çalışanları Üzerinde Bir Uygulama

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 122 - 128, 30.06.2023

Abstract

Bu çalışma, kripto para yatırım güven ortamını değerlendirmek amacıyla kullanılabilecek alternatif bir ölçeği metodolojik olarak geliştirmek için yapılmıştır. Çalışma, İstanbul il sağlık müdürlüğünde çalışan 399 kişiden oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Toplamda 450 anket formu dağıtılmış ve 399 tam ve eksiksiz olarak doldurulan form analiz edilmiştir. Ölçeğin kapsam geçerliliğini belirlemek için kripto para konusunda uzman kişilerin görüşleri alınmıştır. Çalışmanın amacına yönelik olarak açımlayıcı faktör analizi yapılarak ölçme aracının yapı geçerliliği ortaya konulmuştur. Ölçeğin ve faktörlerinin iç tutarlılığını belirlemek için Cronbach alfa katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Pearson korelasyon katsayıları kullanılarak ölçek faktörleri arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Faktör analizi, ölçeğin geçerliliğini ve faktör yapısını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmış ve verilerin faktör analizine uygunluğu KMO katsayısı ve Bartlett Küresellik testi ile ölçülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda, kripto para yatırım güvenini ölçmek için kullanılan ölçeğin dört faktörlü, geçerli ve güvenilir bir yapıya sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Developing a Cryptocurrency Investment Trust Scale: An Application on Istanbul Provincial Health Directorate Employees

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 122 - 128, 30.06.2023

Abstract

cryptocurrency investment. The study was conducted on a sample of 399 individuals working at the Istanbul Provincial Health Directorate. A total of 450 survey forms were distributed and 399 forms that were fully completed were analyzed. The opinions of experts in the field of cryptocurrency were obtained to determine the content validity of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to establish the construct validity of the measurement instrument in line with the aim of the study. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated to determine the internal consistency of the scale and its factors. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to examine the relationships between scale factors. Factor analysis was conducted to determine the validity and factor structure of the scale, and the suitability of the data for factor analysis was measured using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) coefficient and Bartlett's test of sphericity. The findings of the study revealed that the scale used to measure cryptocurrency investment trust has a four-factor structure, and it is valid and reliable.
