Özet:

This study contains findings about the reliability and validity values of the Change Resistance Scale, developed by Oreg (2006), in the framework of its adaptation to Turkey. The study was carried out with data from two different samples (n=403, n=366). The analysis found that the scale showed a three-factor structure consisting of the subdimensions of cognitive, emotional and behavioral resistance in accordance with the original factor structure. As a result of reliability analysis, the Cronbach Alfa ratio for the entire scale was calculated as 83, for the first sample, and for the second sample, 94. The results have shown that the adapted scale is a scale applicable and reliably used in measuring the trend of change resistance for different sectors in Turkey.

Özet:

This study includes the adaptation of the Resistance To Change Scale developed by Oreg (2006) to the Turkish language, and the findings about its reliability and validity values. The study has been carried out on the data from two different samples (n=403, n=366). The results showed that the scale consists of three sub dimensions cognitive, affective and behavioural resistance similar to the original form. The reliability of the scale was computed for each sample by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient technique and it was found to be ,83 for the first sample and .94 for the second sample. Findings have shown that Turkish adaptation of the Resistance to Change Scale is a reliable and valid instrument that can be used in measuring the employees’ resistance tends to change for different sectors in Turkey.
