Developing Perception Management Scale (Administrator Version) : A Study on Validity and Reliability
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a measuring instrument for identifying the usage levels of administrators’ perception management. The research was implemented on 295 primary and secondary school teachers in Akyazı and Hendek districts of Sakarya province in 2016. During the development of the scale, the processes of reviewing related literature, creating item pool, getting expert opinions, conducting preliminary tests, and conducting validity and reliability analyses were carried out. As a result of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, it was determined that the scale consists of 3 factors and 16 items. The first factor consists of 5, the second factor consists of 5 and the third factor consists of 6 items. In order to determine the distinguishing characteristics of the scale items, the supergroup and sub-group of 27% were evaluated with the independent samples t-test, and it was concluded that the difference was statistically significant. For the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha reliability method was used. In the analysis, it was found that the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the total of the scale was .88, for the identifying existing perception factor was .88, for the constituting impression and influence factor was .75, for constituting and directing perception factor .73, and the 3 factors explained 55.99% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indicates these results: x²=291.99. df=101, p=.0000, χ2/df=2.89, RMSEA=.08, NFI=.93, NNFI=.95, CFI=.96, IFI=.96, SRMR=.06, GFI=.89, AGFI=.85. Validity and reliability studies have shown that the scale is valid and reliable.
