Openness Toward Organizational Change: A Scale Development Study

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to develop an "Openness Toward Organizational Change Scale" that can measure the phenomenon of openness to change, which is one of the employee attitudes that provide positive impact and support for change and its results in organizations, with valid, reliable and the most appropriate number of expressions. Three different working groups consisting of industry, education and health sector workers were used in the research. The validity of the scale was made by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, respectively. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the “Openness Toward Organizational Change Scale” has a single dimension and a structure consisting of 6 items. In addition, the criterion-dependent validity of the scale was ensured by making use of the leader support scale. Then, reliability analyzes were performed and it was proved that the scale was highly reliable. The results obtained show that the developed scale is a valid and reliable scale for measuring the tendency of individuals working in all enterprises and institutions in Turkey to be openness toward organizational change.
