Örgütlerde Bilgi Saklama Davranışı Ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye Uyarlama Çalışması

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Connelly ve arkadaşları (2012) tarafından geliştirilen Örgütlerde Bilgi Saklama Davranışı Ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye uyarlamasının yapılması, ölçeğin güvenilirlik ve geçerliliğinin sınanması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında tam zamanlı olarak bir örgütte çalışanlardan oluşan iki ayrı örneklem (hizmet sektörü çalışanı n1= 226 ve akademisyen n2= 310) kullanılmıştır. Analizler neticesinde ölçeğin üç boyutunun birinci örneklemdeki güvenilirlik değerlerinin 0,834-0,891 aralığında, ikinci örneklemde 0,833-0,890 aralığında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ölçeğin üç faktörlü yapısı (kaçamak davranma, bilmezden gelme ve mantığa büründürme) ikinci örneklemde yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle doğrulanmıştır. Ölçeğin ölçüt bağımlı geçerliliği, makyavelizm kavramıyla test edilmiştir. Tüm bulgular, Örgütlerde Bilgi Saklama Davranışı Ölçeğinin gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalarda güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçüm aracı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.

Adaptation of The Knowledge Hiding Behavior in Organizations Scale into Turkish

Öz

In this study, it was aimed to adapt the Knowledge Hiding Behavior in Organizations Scale developed by Connelly et al. (2012) into Turkish and to test its reliability and validity. Two different samples (service sector employee n1= 226 and academician n2= 310) consisting of full time working in an organization were used in the research. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the reliability values of the three dimensions of the scale in the first sample were between 0,834 and 0,891, and between 0,833 and 0,890 in the second sample. The three-factor structure of the scale (Evasive hiding, playing dumb and rationalized hiding) was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis performed in the second sample. The criterion-dependent validity of the scale was tested with Machiavellianism. All the findings showed that the Information Hiding Behavior Scale in Organizations can be used as a reliable and valid measurement tool in future studies.
