DEVELOPMENT of TEACHER ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTİTY PERCEPTION SCALE: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a Teacher Organizational Identity Perception Scale (ÖÖKAÖ) to measure teachers' perceptions of organizational identity and determine the relationship between the level of teachers’ satisfaction from teaching profession and organizational identity perception. The validity and reliability studies of the ÖÖKAÖ developed by the researchers were conducted on 204 (Female: 137, Male: 67) teachers. SPSS 21.00 package program was used to analyze the data. ÖÖKAÖ is a Likert type measurement instrument with a rating of 17 items and three factors, including “Perceived Organizational Support” (8 items) 17,  “Organizational Belonging” (4 Articles) and “ “Organizational Communication” (5 Articles) “. The construct validity of ÖÖKAÖ was investigated by exploratory factor analysis. The factor load values of the items in the ÖÖKAÖ are between .56 and .89. These three sub-dimensions explain 72.1% of the total variance related to the perception of organizational identity. The reliability of the scale was calculated as Cronbach Alpha coefficient (α = .94), perceived organizational support (α = .94), corporate identity (α = .80) and internal communication (α = .80). . In addition, the correlation analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between the perception of organizational identity and satisfaction from the teaching profession (r = .33, p <.01). As a result, it can be said that ÖÖKAÖ is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Öğretmen Örgütsel Kimlik Algısı (ÖÖKA) Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, okullarda çalışan öğretmenlerin örgütsel kimlik algıları ölçmeye yönelik, Öğretmen Örgütsel Kimlik Algısı Ölçeği (ÖÖKAÖ) geliştirmek ve Türkiye’deki öğretmenlerin mesleğinden memnuniyetle örgütsel kimlik algısı arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırma kapsamında geliştirilen ÖÖKAÖ’nün geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları 204 (Kadın: 137, Erkek: 67) öğretmen üzerinde yapılmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde SPSS 21.00 paket programı kullanılmıştır. ÖÖKAÖ, “Algılanan Kurumsal Destek (8 madde)”, “Kurumsal Aidiyet (4 Madde)” ve “Kurum İçi İletişim (5 Madde)” olmak üzere 17 madde ve üç faktörden oluşan beşli derecelendirmeli likert tipi bir ölçme aracıdır. ÖÖKAÖ’nün yapı geçerliği, açımlayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmiştir. ÖÖKAÖ’de yer alan maddelerin faktör yük de­ğerleri .56 ile .89 arasındadır. Bu üç alt boyut öğretmen örgütsel kimlik algısına ilişkin, toplam varyansın %72.1’ini açıklamaktadır. ÖÖKAÖ’nün güvenirliği Cronbach Alpha katsayısı ile hesaplanmış ölçeğin toplamı (α= .94), algılanan kurumsal destek (α= .94), kurumsal aidiyet (α= .80) ve kurum içi iletişim için (α= .80) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca yapılan korelasyon analizi, örgütsel kimlik algısı ve mesleğinden memnuniyet arasında pozitif ve manidar bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir (r= .33, p < .01). Sonuç olarak ÖÖKAÖ’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.
