Adaptation of Collaborative Climate Scale into Turkish: The Study of Validity and Reliability

Abstract

Collaborative climate can be defined as the individuals’ beliefs, values and assumptions on knowledge sharing in organizations.  In this context, it is the climate appearing as a result of the effort spent and willingness for this purpose.  The aim of the current study is to adopt Collaborative Climate Scale  (Sveiby & Simons, 2002) into Turkish.  The original scale had four sub dimensions and 20 items.  There are five items in each dimension.  To analyze the language validity of the scale the correlation coefficient between Turkish and English versions was calculated.  As for the construct validity confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was administered, the correlation coefficient among sub dimensions were calculated and item analysis was carried out.  In the scope of item analysis the significance of the difference between upper-lower 27 % groups and item total correlations were calculated.  Internal consistency of the scale was analyzed by Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient.  The findings indicated that the final Turkish version of the scale was valid both in terms of language and construct and reliable.  There are 17 items in four dimensions in Turkish version of the scale.  Three items from the original version were excluded in Turkish one because of different reasons.
