Abstract

Research and scales on the area of beneficial non task, behavior of employees are the topics that social scientists have generally focused on in order to contribute to the competitiveness of organizations. In addition, the ever-increasing number of inter-organizational project studies today have revealed the necessity of developing a reliable and valid scale for Project Citizenship Behavior (PCB). In this direction, this research consists of the basic stages of creating an item pool, developing a scale, and assessing reliability and validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale was calculated as .81, and the originally designed 4-factor scale structure was confirmed as a result of confirmatory factor analysis. These results show that the developed PCB scale has both convergent validity and high reliability, but only partially discriminant validity. In conclusion, the phenomenon of PCB, which has been newly conceptualized as a result of a qualitative research, has been turned into a multidimensional valid scale from a sample of 288 participants that can be used in empirical research. In addition, this scale was developed by applying it only to project employees who represent the target audience.

Özet

Örgütlerin rekabet edebilirliğine katkıda bulunmak amacıyla, çalışanların görev dışı yararlı davranışları alanındaki araştırmalar ve ölçekler, sosyal bilimcilerin genel olarak üzerinde durdukları konulardır. Ayrıca, günümüzde sayıları sürekli olarak artan örgütler arası proje çalışmaları, Proje Vatandaşlık Davranışı (PVD) için güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçek geliştirilmesi gerekliliğini de ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu doğrultuda araştırmamız, madde havuzu oluşturma, ölçek geliştirme, geçerlik ve güvenirlik değerlendirme temel aşamalarından oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin tamamına ait Cronbach alfa katsayısı .81 olarak hesaplanmış ve orijinal olarak tasarlanan 4 faktörlü ölçek yapısı, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda doğrulanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, geliştirilen PVD ölçeğinin hem yakınsak geçerliliğe hem de yüksek güvenilirliğe sahip olduğunu ancak kısmen ayırt edici geçerliliği sağladığını göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, nitel bir araştırma sonucunda yeni kavramsallaştırılan PVD olgusu, ampirik araştırmalarda kullanılabilecek 288 kişilik bir örneklemden çok boyutlu geçerli bir ölçeğe dönüştürülmüştür. Ayrıca bu ölçek sadece hedef kitleyi temsil eden proje çalışanlarına uygulanarak geliştirilmiştir.
