Abstract
With globalization, the changes in societies have affected organizations and brought the “human” factor to the fore. Since educational institutions are human oriented organizations, values have become an indispensable element of schools. Therefore, it is thought that determining teachers’ perceptions of organizational values will be useful in related researches. The aim of this study is to develop a scale that allows teachers to measure their perceptions of organizational values. The study sample was composed of 49 items and 232 teachers working in secondary schools. After performing Explanatory Factor Analysis, 5 sub-scales and 43 items was obtained. The total variance of the scale was explained by 60.683 %. The total Alpha rate of the scale was found to be .946. The structure of the scale, revealed by Explanatory Factor Analysis, was confirmed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis. It can be said that the scale is a valid and reliable data collection tool.
Highlights
In the competitive environment created by the rapid changes that are the product of globalization, removing the boundary in many areas, it has become compulsory for organizations to use their resource in the best way to survive
As a result of these values, it was concluded that Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) can be performed with the data. 43 items of the scale were taken into principal component analysis with five factors and varimax (25) rotation was performed
Values, which have become popular in recent times, are one of the factors that are effective in shaping the behavior of individuals
Summary
In the competitive environment created by the rapid changes that are the product of globalization, removing the boundary in many areas, it has become compulsory for organizations to use their resource in the best way to survive. The most important part of these sources is the “human” factor (Gümüş & Sezgin, 2012: 79-82). Such a resource provides an undeniable benefit to the organizations in competitive environments within the framework of today’s understanding (Aycan, Kanungo & Mendonça, 2016: 87). Because as long as people continue to work together, organizations continue their existence (Mcshane & Glinow, 2016: 5). The survival of organizations and individuals is achieved by values (Kılıç, 2010: 86). Values enable individuals in organizations to work together in a relaxed and peaceful manner (Mcshane & Glinow, 2016: 36)
