Öz

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable data-obtaining tool for exploring which decision stage deems sufficient for managers in the public or private sector, how they use time and how they act in different occasions. Also, a scale demonstrating the approaches which managers are following in their decision processes has not been seen among past studies. This study has been carried out in order to close this gap. The scale has been developed in consideration of the managers’ recommendations about the decision process. Sampling method applied in research is easy sampling method. The 389 participant of this study consist of public and private sector managers in the cities of Gümüşhane and Bayburt in Turkey. The results of this study are assembled under four factors as “manager’s problem noticing time, manager’s problem defining time, manager’s problem solving time, and the manager’s decision time on different occasions.” A “Manager Decision Time Scale” containing 13 items has been developed from these Likert scale factors. It has been tested for validity by Model-Defining Factor Analysis. The scale that was formed with the data obtained at the end of this study has been proved to be a valid and reliable data-obtaining tool.
