Üretken Enerji Ölçeği’nin Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Purpose – The aim of present study is to adapt the Productive Energy Scale developed by Cole, Bruch and Vogel (2012) to Turkish and to bring the scale into Turkish literature. Design/methodology/approach – The study was carried out in four stages. In the first stage of the study, theoretical information about Productive Energy Scale was given. In the second stage of the study, the Turkish translation of the scale was made. At this stage, the translation and back translation method proposed by Brislin (1970) was used. In the third and fourth stages, the validity and reliability study of the scale was performed. For the content and logic validity of the scale, expert opinion was consulted, and the data obtained as a result of the application of the scale to 176 managers and employees working in a private enterprise in the foundry industry in Ankara were used in the analysis of structure validity and reliability. Analyzes were performed using SmartPLS software and R programming language. Findings – As a result of the study; it was determined that the scale has a three-dimensional structure as in the original and its reliability is quite high. In this context, Productive Energy Scale can be used in research to be done before each work in the social sciences in Turkey. Discussion – It is evaluated that the study will contribute to the organizational behavior literature, researchers and managers.
