Dynamic Capabilities: A Scale Adaptation Study

Öz

This study includes findings related to reliability and validity values within the scope of adaptation of Dynamic Capabilities Scale developed by Wilden, Gudergan, Nielsen, & Lings (2013) to Turkish. The study was conducted with data obtained from two different samples (n1=174, n2=227). As a result of the analyses performed on the Turkish adaptation of the original three-factor structure consisting of Perception, Capture, and Restructuring sub-dimensions of the scale, it was determined that it showed a two-factor structure. These two dimensions were named as “Perception Capture” and “Restructuring”. Item 8 in the original scale was removed from the scale because it was an overlapping item. As a result of the reliability analyses of the scale, Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was calculated as .90 for the entire Dynamic Capabilities scale; .87 for the “Perception Capture” sub-dimension and .83 for the “Restructuring” sub-dimension. The AVE value was determined as .66 and the CR value as .84. The results obtained indicate that the adapted scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in measuring dynamic capabilities for business life in Turkey.

Dinamik Yetenekler: Bir Ölçek Uyarlama Çalışması

Öz

Bu çalışma, Wilden, Gudergan, Nielsen, & Lings (2013) tarafından geliştirilen Dinamik Yetenekler Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanması kapsamında, güvenirlik ve geçerlilik değerleri ile ilgili bulguları içermektedir. Çalışma, iki farklı örneklemden (n1=174, n2=227) alınan verilerle yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin Algılama, Ele Geçirme ve Yeniden Yapılandırma alt boyutlarından oluşan orijinal üç faktörlü yapılanmasının Türkçe uyarlamasında yapılan analizler sonucunda, iki faktörlü bir yapı gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Bu iki boyut “Algılama Ele Geçirme” ve “Yeniden Yapılandırma” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Orijinal ölçekte bulunan 8. Madde binişik madde olduğu için ölçekten çıkarılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik analizleri sonucunda Dinamik Yetenekler ölçeğinin tümü için Cronbach’s Alpha katsayısı ,90; “Algılama Ele Geçirme” alt boyutu için ,87 ve “Yeniden Yapılandırma” alt boyutu için ,83 olarak hesaplanmıştır. AVE değeri ,66 ve CR değeri ,84 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, uyarlaması yapılan ölçeğin, Türkiye’deki iş yaşamı için dinamik yeteneklerin ölçülmesinde geçerli ve güvenilir olarak kullanılabilecek bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu ifade etmektedir.
