In this study, it was aimed to carry out the Turkish adaptation of the Management Support for Innovation Scale developed by Vincent-Höper and Stein (2019) to measure management support for innovation. In the research design, descriptive, explanatory, and exploratory approaches were used together. The study sample consisted of 290 employees working in public healthcare institutions in İzmir. The findings of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted within this framework indicated that the theoretically proposed factor structure of the scale was consistent with the data. At the item level, factor loadings ranged from 0.87 to 0.98; these values suggest that the items strongly represent the relevant latent construct. The squared multiple correlations for the items were found to range between 0.50 and 0.89, showing that a substantial portion of each item’s variance was explained by the corresponding factor. The obtained index values generally fell within the acceptable to excellent fit range and supported that the measurement model operated consistently with the sample data. As evidence of reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were found to be high. In conclusion, the analyses suggest that the three-factor structure of the scale was confirmed and that the Turkish form demonstrates adequate psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability.

İNOVASYON İÇİN YÖNETİM DESTEĞİ ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇE UYARLAMASI

Öz

Bu çalışmada, inovasyon için yönetim desteğini ölçmeye yönelik olarak Vincent-Höper ve Stein (2019) tarafından geliştirilen İnovasyon İçin Yönetim Desteği Ölçeği’nin Türkçe uyarlamasını gerçekleştirmeyi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma tasarımında betimsel, açıklayıcı ve keşfedici desenler bir arada kullanılmıştır. Çalışma örneklemini, İzmir’de kamu sağlık kurumlarında görev yapan 290 çalışan oluşturmaktadır. Bu çerçevede yürütülen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi bulguları, ölçeğin kuramsal olarak öngörülen faktör yapısının veriyle uyumlu olduğunu göstermiştir. İfade düzeyinde faktör yükleri 0,87–0,98 aralığında değişmekte; bu değerler, maddelerin ilgili örtük yapıyı güçlü biçimde temsil ettiğine işaret etmektedir. Maddelere ilişkin çoklu korelasyon kareleri ise 0,50–0,89 aralığında bulunmuş; her bir maddenin varyansının önemli bir bölümünün ilgili faktör tarafından açıklandığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen indeks değerleri, genel olarak kabul edilebilir ile mükemmel uyum aralığında yer almakta ve ölçüm modelinin örneklem verisiyle tutarlı biçimde çalıştığını desteklemektedir. Ölçeğin güvenirlik kanıtları kapsamında Cronbach alfa katsayılarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, analizler ölçeğin üç faktörlü yapısının doğrulandığına ve Türkçe formun geçerlik ile güvenirlik bakımından yeterli psikometrik özellikler sunduğuna işaret etmektedir.
