THE VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS’ ETHICAL LEADERSHIP SCALE
Abstract
Right-wrong attitudes and behaviors of people working in the organizations which have different working areas as administrators are among the reasons of the problems existing in these organizations. In this study, it was aimed to bring the discussion surrounding reasons and results of attitudes and behaviors and the question: “what is ethical?” to the agenda and to develop the School Administrators’ Ethical Leadership Scale based on primary school teachers’ perceptions by focusing on educational organizations. The scale was tested on 130 teachers working at 6 primary schools in the city center of Adıyaman and Gaziantep through a 27-item test form. The data gathered were analyzed using SPSS. After the factor analysis, it was found that the test form was made of a whole construct consisting of factor loadings ranging from 0,536 to 0,870 and 25 items. After item analysis, it was seen that an item had a low level of correlation and t value. The scale was formed as a 24-item scale after this item was removed. In addition, the scale’s coefficient of Cronbach Alpha internal consistency was calculated as 0,973.
