SAĞLIK KURUMLARINDA GÖNÜLLÜ İŞYERİ YEŞİL DAVRANIŞ ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇE’YE UYARLANMASI

Öz

Sürdürülebilirlik, bireylerin ve kurumların iş yönetim biçimlerini değiştiren ve çevreye karşı duyarlılığı artıran bir kavramdır. Günümüzde özellikle duyarlılığın gelişim gösterdiği alanlardan birini sağlık sektörü oluşturmaktadır. Nitekim sağlık hizmetinin doğrudan insan eliyle sunulduğu düşünüldüğünde, çalışanların yeşil farkındalık ve inisiyatif düzeyleri, sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerinin başarısında belirleyici hale gelmektedir. Ancak sağlık kurumlarında çevre yanlısı davranışları ölçen ölçüm araçlarının kısıtlı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu bakımdan araştırmanın amacı sağlık kurumlarında Gönüllü İşyeri Yeşil Davranış Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanmasıdır. Kayseri’de bir kamu hastanesi evreninde gerçekleştirilen çalışmaya 199 kişi gönüllü katılım sağlamıştır. Veri setinin analizine geçmeden önce ölçek kapsam ve dil geçerliliği bakımından incelenmiştir. Tek boyutlu ölçeğin kapsam geçerlik indeksi (0,875) kritik değerden (0,750) büyüktür. Ölçeğin faktör analizine uygun olup olmaması Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ile test edilirken veri setinin model ile uyumluluğu doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile incelenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda uyum indekslerinin kabul edilen değerler aralığında olduğu belirlenmiştir. İç tutarlılıkta ölçeğin Cronbach’s Alpha değeri 0,751 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yakınsak geçerliğinde Açıklanan Ortalama Varyans (AVE) ile Birleşik/Toplam Güvenirlik (CR) değerleri incelenmiş ve bu değerlerin kabul edilen eşik değeri karşıladığı görülmüştür. Son olarak belirli bir grup üzerinde ilk test ve son test uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin zamana göre geçerli olduğu belirlenmiştir.

ADAPTATION OF THE VOLUNTARY WORKPLACE GREEN BEHAVIOR SCALE IN HEALTH INSTITUTIONS TO TURKISH

Öz

Sustainability is a concept that changes the way individuals and organizations manage their businesses and increases environmental awareness. Today, the health sector is one of the areas where awareness has developed. In fact, since healthcare services are provided by people, employees' green awareness and initiative levels are crucial to achieving sustainability goals. However, the number of tools available to measure pro-environmental behaviors in health institutions is limited. The aim of the study is to adapt the Voluntary Workplace Green Behavior Scale for use in Turkish healthcare organizations. A total of 199 people voluntarily participated in the study conducted in the Kayseri City Hospital population. Before analyzing the data set, the scale was examined in terms of content and language validity. The content validity index of the unidimensional scale (0.875) is greater than the critical value (0.750). Whether the scale is suitable for factor analysis is tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), while the compatibility of the data set with the model is examined using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The analysis showed that the fit indices were within the accepted range. In internal consistency, the Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was calculated as 0.751. Convergent validity was examined by looking at the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Combined/Total Reliability (CR) values, which met the accepted threshold. Finally, the first test and the post-test were applied on a specific group. The scale was found to be valid over time.
