Özet:

Whether the need is small or large, the importance of leadership skills in every company or organization can work efficiently and peacefully cannot be denied. In particular, if the ability to make the expected and necessary changes in companies and institutions in time and effectively, it can be considered as a reflection and manifestation of transformative leadership. The adaptation of the "Short Transformative Leadership Scale" developed by Berger and his colleagues (2012), which helps managers in institutions to measure their transformative leadership skills, is the aim of this study. To adapt the scale, the necessary permission was obtained from the Harran University's Social and Human Sciences Ethics Council on 09.06.2012. In the adaptation of the scale, the necessary processes were made first by following the stages in literature to ensure linguistic equality. The data collected from 349 employees for construction validity and the data collected from 234 employees with the opening factor analysis (AFA) and the verifying factor analysis (DFA) were also conducted. Both analyses have achieved meaningful and sufficient results. For the validity of the measurement, the Alturistic Leadership scale was also used. The data collected from 80 employees and the relationship between the Short Conversion Leadership Scale and Alturistic Leadership was considered and the correlation values were r=,765 (p<,001) and significant. For the reliability of the adjusted scale, the Cronbach alpha value and the differentiation of the 27% lower and upper layers were considered. The analysis resulted in the short transformative leadership alpha value of α=,970. The t-test values of the lower upper layers are t=65,197 (p<,001). As a result, the appropriate analysis results were obtained in the adaptation stages and the correspondence of the Short Transformative Leadership Scale to the Turkish culture was confirmed by the results of the analysis.
