(2025) tarafından geliştirilen Kapsayıcı Liderlik Ölçeği&#039;nin (KLÖ) Türkçe dil geçerliği ve güvenirliğini incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma, çeşitli sektörlerden çalışanlardan oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiş ve veriler açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Açıklayıcı faktör analizi, kapsayıcı liderlik ölçeğinin teorik çerçevesi ile tutarlı, net bir faktör yapısı ortaya koymuştur. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, modelin tatmin edici uyum indeksleri sergilediğini göstermiştir. Güvenilirlik analizi sonucu Cronbach alfa katsayılarının tüm alt boyutlar için önerilen eşikleri aşmasıyla güçlü bir iç tutarlılık olduğunu göstermiştir. Yakınsak ve ayırt edici geçerlilik testleri, ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğini daha da desteklemiştir. Sonuç olarak ölçek, orijinal ölçeğe uygun olarak iki alt boyuttan oluşmuştur; ait olma ve belirsizlik alt boyutları. Bulgular, kapsayıcı liderlik ölçeğinin örgütsel bağlamlarda kapsayıcı liderliği değerlendirmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar bağlamında, iş yerinde çeşitlilik, eşitlik ve kapsayıcılığı teşvik eden liderlik uygulamaları üzerine gelecekteki araştırmaları destekleyen, bilimsel olarak test edilmiş bir ölçüm aracı sağlayarak literatüre katkıda bulunmaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>The present study was conducted for the purpose of examining the Turkish language validity and reliability of the Inclusive Leadership Scale (ILS), a tool developed by Merlini et al., (2025) for the purpose of measuring leadership behaviours that promote participation, openness, and equality in organizational settings. The study was conducted on a sample of employees from various sectors, and the data was analysed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted, revealing a clear factor structure consistent with the theoretical framework of the inclusive leadership scale. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the model exhibited satisfactory fit indices. The reliability analysis indicated strong internal consistency, with Cronbach&#039;s alpha coefficients surpassing the recommended thresholds for all subscales. Convergent and discriminant validity tests further supported the construct validity of the scale. Consequently, the scale is composed of two subscales, consistent with the original scale: belongingness and uncertainty. The findings indicate that inclusive leadership scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing inclusive leadership in organizational contexts. In this context, the present study contributes to extant literature by providing a scientifically tested measurement tool that supports future research on leadership practices that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.</p></trans-abstract>
