RESISTANCE TO CHANGE: A STUDY OF SCALE ADAPTATION

Öz

This study includes the adaptation of the Resistance To Change Scale developed by Oreg (2006) to the Turkish language, and the findings about its reliability and validity values. The study has been carried out on the data from two different samples (n=403, n=366). The results showed that the scale consists of three sub dimensions cognitive, affective and behavioural resistance similar to the original form. The reliability of the scale was computed for each sample by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient technique and it was found to be ,83 for the first sample and .94 for the second sample. Findings have shown that Turkish adaptation of the Resistance to Change Scale is a reliable and valid instrument that can be used in measuring the employees’ resistance tends to change for different sectors in Turkey.

DEĞİŞİME DİRENÇ: BİR ÖLÇEK UYARLAMA ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Bu çalışma, Oreg (2006) tarafından geliştirilen Değişime Direnç Ölçeği’ nin, Türkçeye uyarlanması kapsamında, güvenilirlik ve geçerlilik değerleri ile ilgili bulguları içermektedir. Çalışma, iki farklı örneklemden (n=403, n=366) alınan verilerle yürütülmüştür. Analizler sonucunda, ölçeğin orijinal faktör yapılanmasına uygun biçimde Bilişsel, Duygusal ve Davranışsal Direnç alt boyutlarından oluşan üç faktörlü bir yapı gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Güvenilirlik analizleri sonucunda ise ölçeğin tümü için Cronbach Alfa katsayısı, birinci örneklem için ,83, ikinci örneklem için ,94 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, uyarlaması yapılan ölçeğin, Türkiye’deki farklı sektörler için değişime direnç eğiliminin ölçülmesinde geçerli ve güvenilir olarak kullanılabilecek bir ölçek olduğunu göstermiştir.
