Sosyal Girişimsel Liderlik Ölçeği (SGLO) Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement tool that can assess the social entrepreneurial leadership skills of academic administrators in higher education institutions, based on the perspectives of students. The study was conducted at a university in Central Anatolia, involving two different participant groups. The first group consisted of 254 associate degree students studying at Vocational Schools, who were selected through convenience sampling. The second group included 305 undergraduate students from various faculties of the same university, who were recruited using the same method. The initial data for the research were collected using a 50-item draft scale prepared by the researchers from a pool of questions based on the literature. Expert opinions were sought, and a pilot study was conducted with the draft scale. As a result of these procedures, the scale was revised accordingly. The data collected from the main sample were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis techniques. For reliability analysis, Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald’s Omega methods were preferred. The findings revealed a four-factor and 24-item scale structure that can measure the social entrepreneurial leadership skills of administrators. The results were discussed in light of relevant literature, and some recommendations for the use of the scale were provided based on the research findings.
