Green Shared Vision Scale: A Turkish Validity and Reliability Study

Öz

The purpose of this study is to adapt the Green Shared Vision Scale, originally developed by Jansen et al. (2008) and later used in the context of green management by Chen et al. (2014), into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability. The study was conducted using the survey model, one of the quantitative research designs. In the scale adaptation process, linguistic and conceptual validity was ensured using the forward–backward translation method proposed by Brislin (1970). Construct validity was tested through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, while criterion-related validity was evaluated through correlation analyses with the variables of psychological ownership and turnover intention. For reliability analyses, Cronbach’s Alpha and split-half reliability coefficients were calculated. The data were collected from 399 white-collar employees working in 3 manufacturing companies from the private sector in the organized industrial zone in Osmaniye, Türkiye. The exploratory factor analysis showed that the single-factor structure of the scale explained 75.62% of the total variance, while the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit (χ²/df=1.216; CFI=0.992; RMSEA=0.023). The reliability coefficient of the scale (α=0.890) indicated high internal consistency. In conclusion, the Turkish adaptation of the Green Shared Vision Scale was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Yeşil Ortak Vizyon (Green Shared Vision) Ölçeği: Türkçe Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Jansen ve arkadaşları (2008) tarafından geliştirilen ve Chen ve diğerleri (2014) tarafından yeşil yönetim bağlamında kullanılan Yeşil Ortak Vizyon (Green Shared Vision) Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanarak geçerlilik ve güvenirlik analizlerinin yapılmasıdır. Araştırma nicel araştırma desenlerinden tarama modeli çerçevesinde yürütülmüştür. Ölçek uyarlama sürecinde Brislin (1970) tarafından önerilen ileri-geri çeviri yöntemi temel alınarak dilsel ve kavramsal geçerlik sağlanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle test edilmiş, ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik kapsamında psikolojik sahiplenme ve işten ayrılma niyeti değişkenleriyle korelasyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca güvenirlik analizlerinde Cronbach's Alpha ve iki yarı güvenilirlik katsayıları kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında Osmaniye ilindeki organize sanayi bölgesinde 3 ayrı üretim işletmesinde görev yapan 399 beyaz yaka çalışandan elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Açımlayıcı faktör analizinde ölçeğin tek faktörlü yapısı varyansın %75,62’sini açıklarken; doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde modelin uyum indeksleri (χ²/sd=1,216; CFI=0.992; RMSEA=0.023) oldukça iyi düzeyde bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin güvenilirlik katsayısı (α=0.890) yüksek düzeyde tutarlılık göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, Türkçeye uyarlanan Yeşil Ortak Vizyon Ölçeği’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
