Şirketlerde sürdürülebilirliğin güvence altına alınmasında kritik bir başarı faktörü haline gelmesi sebebiyle dijital liderliğin ölçeklenebilir özelliklerini tanımlamak büyük önem taşımaktadır. Literatürde Dijital liderliğe ilişkin algıları değerlendirmek için yeterli bir ölçüm aracı bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma, dijital liderlik özellikleri ile ilgili olup, Türkiye'de özel ve kamu kuruluşlarında farklı sektörlerde çalışan 526 kişi arasında yürütülen ampirik bir çalışmaya dayalı bir “Dijital Liderlik Ölçeği” geliştirerek söz konusu araştırma boşluğunu doldurmayı amaçlamaktadır. Veriler toplandıktan sonra ölçeğin kapsam ve yapı geçerliği SPSS ve AMOS istatistik programları kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayısı .90'dır. Açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda Dijital Liderlik Ölçeği (DLÖ) 9 madde ve 2 boyutta doğrulanmıştır, dolayısıyla güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu ifade edilebilir.

A STUDY ON DIGITAL LEADERSHIP SCALE (DLS) DEVELOPMENT

Öz

Since digital leadership has become a critical success factor for securing sustainability in companies, it is of great importance to define scalable characteristics of it. In literature, an adequate measuring instrument is not available for assessing the perceptions regarding digital leadership. This study is about digital leadership characteristics and aims to fill the mentioned research gap by developing a “Digital Leadership Scale” based on an empirical study conducted among 526 people working at different sectors in private and public enterprises in Turkey. After the data were collected, the scope and construct validity of the scale was tested using the statistical programs SPSS and AMOS. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale is .90. As a result of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the Digital Leadership Scale (DLS) was validated in 9 items and 2 dimensions, so it can be stated that it is a reliable measuring instrument.
