Building a Sound Foundation: Validity and Reliability Studies of Organizational Prestige Scale

Abstract

This study develops and psychometrically validates a teacher-focused Organizational Prestige Scale—OPS. An initial 23-item pool, generated through literature synthesis and expert review, was administered to two independent samples of teachers, with 366 participants informing exploratory factor analysis and 199 participants informing confirmatory factor analysis. Sampling adequacy was excellent, with KMO=.952 and a significant Bartlett test. Although three components displayed eigenvalues greater than one, scree and parallel analyses supported a unidimensional structure. Iterative purification yielded an eleven-item form explaining 63.77% of the variance. Corrected item–total correlations ranged from .55 to .87, and factor loadings from .65 to .87, evidencing substantial internal homogeneity. The confirmatory model showed an acceptable to excellent fit: χ²/df=2.35, RMSEA=.08, GFI=.91, AGFI=.87, CFI=.96, NFI=.96, NNFI=.97, IFI=.98, RMR=.04, SRMR=.05. Reliability evidence was strong, with Cronbach’s alpha=.95 and split-half Spearman–Brown=.93. Collectively, the findings indicate that the OPS is a concise, context-appropriate, and psychometrically sound instrument for assessing teachers’ perceptions of organizational prestige. The scale can support exploratory and predictive work on identification, affective commitment, and retention, and can guide institutional diagnostics and leadership decision-making within non-Western public education settings. Future research should examine longitudinal stability, test measurement invariance across subgroups such as tenure, school type, and region, and investigate boundary conditions that link perceived prestige to attitudinal and behavioral outcomes.

Sağlam Bir Temel Oluşturmak: Örgütsel Saygınlık Ölçeğinin Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışmaları

Abstract

Bu çalışma, öğretmen odaklı bir Örgütsel Saygınlık Ölçeği geliştirerek psikometrik açıdan geçerlemesini yapmaktadır. Literatür sentezi ve uzman değerlendirmesiyle oluşturulan başlangıçtaki 23 maddelik madde havuzu, iki bağımsız öğretmen örneklemine uygulanmış; 366 katılımcı keşfedici faktör analizine, 199 katılımcı ise doğrulayıcı faktör analizine temel oluşturmuştur. Örneklem uygunluğu mükemmel düzeydedir; KMO=.952 bulunmuş ve Bartlett testi anlamlı çıkmıştır. Üç bileşen birden büyük özdeğerlere sahip görünse de, scree grafiği ve paralel analiz sonuçları tek boyutlu bir yapıyı desteklemiştir. Yinelemeli arındırma süreci sonucunda, varyansın %63.77’sini açıklayan 11 maddelik bir form elde edilmiştir. Düzeltilmiş madde–toplam korelasyonları .55 ile .87, faktör yükleri ise .65 ile .87 arasında değişmiş; bu durum yüksek düzeyde iç homojenliğe işaret etmiştir. Doğrulayıcı model kabul edilebilirden mükemmele uzanan bir uyum göstermiştir: χ²/df=2.35, RMSEA=.08, GFI=.91, AGFI=.87, CFI=.96, NFI=.96, NNFI=.97, IFI=.98, RMR=.04, SRMR=.05. Güvenirlik kanıtları güçlüdür; Cronbach alfa=.95 ve Spearman–Brown iki yarı güvenirliği=.93 olarak bulunmuştur. Bulgular bir arada değerlendirildiğinde, ÖSÖ’nün öğretmenlerin örgütsel prestije ilişkin algılarını değerlendirmede kısa, bağlama uygun ve psikometrik açıdan sağlam bir araç olduğu görülmektedir. Ölçek; özdeşleşme, duygusal bağlılık ve elde tutma üzerine yapılacak keşfedici ve yordayıcı çalışmaları destekleyebilir; ayrıca Batı-dışı kamu eğitim bağlamlarında kurumsal tanılama ve liderlik karar süreçlerine rehberlik edebilir. Gelecek araştırmalar, zaman içinde (boylamsal) kararlılığı incelemeli; kıdem, okul türü ve bölge gibi alt gruplar arasında ölçme değişmezliğini test etmeli ve algılanan saygınlığı tutumsal ve davranışsal sonuçlara bağlayan sınır koşullarını araştırmalıdır.
