RESPONSES TO JOB DISSATISFACTION SCALE: THE STUDY OF VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY

Abstract

The current study aims to investigate factor structure and psychometric proporties of Turkish version of Responses to Job Dissatisfaction Scale. For this purpose, data were collected from 302 persons who work at public and private sector in Turkey. Both exploratory (principal) and confirmatory analyses were used to test the factor structure of the scale. The Turkish version of the scale in a manner similar to the original scale was found to have a four-factor structure. In addition, there were significant corelations between the Turkish version of the scale and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II. Cronbach Alpha’s internal consistencies of the sub-scales ranged from .67 and .59, split half reliabilities of the items ranged from .48 and .45 and also test-retest relabilities of the scale ranged from .69 and .47. Finally results revealed that The Turkish version of Responses to Job Dissatisfaction Scale had sufficently psychometric properties for Turkish Researchers to use.

Öz

Bu çalışma İş Doyumsuzluğuna Verilen Tepkiler Ölçeği’nin (İDVTÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla Türkiye’de yaşayan kamu ve özel sektör çalışanı 302 kişiden veri toplanmıştır. İDVTÖ’nün faktör yapısını incelemek amacıyla hem açımlayıcı hem de doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun özgün ölçeğe benzer şekilde dört faktörlü bir yapı içerdiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca, İDVTÖ’nün benzer yapıya sahip Örgütsel Çatışma Ölçeği II ile korelasyonları kabul edilebilir düzeyde bulunmuştur. İDVTÖ’nün Cronbach Alfa iç tutarlılık katsayıları .67 ile .59, iki yarı güvenirlik katsayıları .48 ile .45 ve test tekrar test güvenirlik katsayıları .69 ile .47 arasında değişmektedir. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda, İDVTÖ’nün Türkçe formunun ülkemizdeki çalışmalarda kullanılabilecek psikometrik özelliklere sahip olduğu söylenebilir.
