DIRTY DOZEN SCALE: ADAPTATION TO TURKISH, RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY

Abstract

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the reliability and validity by adapting the scale called “Dark triad dirty dozen” to Turkish. Employees who were in managerial positions in any enterprise were selected as research sample. In order to test the reliability and validity of the scale in Turkish language, data collected from two different samples. The results of the exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis revealed that three factor structre was confirmed. Since there is no problem in convergent and divergent validity tests, it can be argued that the scale is reliable and valid. In other words, these findings show that the dark triad scale can be used as a reliable and valid tool to be used especially in the field of business management.

KARANLIK ÜÇLÜ ÖLÇEĞİ: TÜRKÇE’ YE UYARLAMA, GÜVENİLİRLİK VE GEÇERLİLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

 Bu çalışmanın amacı “Karanlık Üçlü” adı verilen, makyavelizm, psikopati ve narsizm kişilik özelliklerini ölçmek için kullanılmakta olan ölçeğin Türkçe’ye uyarlanarak güvenilirlik ve geçerliliğinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Bir işletmede yönetici pozisyonunda çalışanlar araştırma örneklemi olarak seçilmiştir. Ölçeğin Türkçe dilinde güvenilirlik ve geçerliliğinin test edilebilmesi için iki farklı örneklemden veriler toplanarak önce keşfedici ve daha sonra da doğrulayıcı faktör analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan analizler sonucunda ölçeğin üç faktörlü yapısının doğrulandığı görülmüştür. Ardından yapı geçerliliği için gerçekleştirilen yakınsak ve ıraksak geçerlilik testlerinde de herhangi bir sorun gözlenmediğinden ölçeğin güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçek olduğu ileri sürülebilmektedir. Söz konusu bu bulgular, karanlık üçlü ölçeğinin özellikle işletme yönetimi alanında yapılacak çalışmalarda kullanılabilmesi için güvenilir ve geçerli bir araç olarak kullanılabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.
