Developing The “Perceived VUCA Exposure” Scale}, journal={GAB Akademi}, volume={3}, pages={28–53}, year={2023}, author={Döner, Erkan and Efeoğlu, İbrahim Efe}, keywords={Algı, Algılanan VUCA, Bireysel, Çalışan, VUCA, VUCA Maruziyeti}, abstract={The rapidly evolving and often unpredictable nature of contemporary business environments, characterized by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA), poses significant challenges for organizations and individuals alike. Recognizing the need for a nuanced understanding of how these VUCA factors are perceived and experienced, this study introduces the "Perceived VUCA Exposure" scale, a novel instrument designed to quantitatively assess individuals’ subjective perceptions of VUCA in their professional milieu. Through a rigorous methodological approach, involving item generation, expert reviews, and pilot-test, the scale was developed and subsequently validated across diverse samples. The study employed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to establish the scale’s structural validity, while reliability was ascertained through internal consistency and test-retest methods. The final scale comprises four subscales, each corresponding to one aspect of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity). The findings reveal that the scale exhibits robust psychometric properties, making it a reliable and valid tool for assessing perceived VUCA exposure. Additionally, the study provides empirical evidence on the distinct yet interconnected nature of the VUCA dimensions as experienced by individuals in organizational settings. The “PVE” scale holds significant implications for organizational research and practice. It facilitates a deeper understanding of how VUCA factors impact employees, guiding interventions to enhance resilience and adaptability in fluctuating environments. Furthermore, it serves as a diagnostic tool for organizations to identify areas of VUCA that most profoundly affect their workforce, enabling targeted strategies to mitigate adverse effects and capitalize on potential opportunities presented by the VUCA world.}, number={2}, publisher={Genç Akademisyenler Birliği Derneği}
