Abstract
Bu çalışmanın
amacı, sürdürülebilirlik için banka çalışanlarının banka bağlılığı algısını
test etmek üzere maddelerin her birinin titizlikle geçerlilik ve güvenirlik
testlerine tabi tutulduğu bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Çalışmada kullanılan
veriler çeşitli banka çalışanlarının kendi kontrol ve denetimi altında
kendilerine uyguladıkları anketten elde edilmiştir. Çalışma konu ile ilişkili
üç farklı uygulamadan, sürdürülebilir banka bağlılığı üzerine çalışan algısını
ölçmek üzere yapılandırılmış 34 soru için geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik
sonuçlarını ortaya koymakta; bu bağlamda keşfedici faktor analizi yapmaktadır. Sonuçlara
gore, örneklem için sekiz faktor çözümü toplam varyansın %94,5’lük kısmını
açıklamaktadır. Bu çalışmada türetilen araştırma soruları, örgütsel değişim
bağlamında sürdürülebilirlik kavramının incelenmesi için bir araştırma sahası
yaratmaktadır. Çalışma sonuçlarının genelleştirilebilirlik düzeyi, kullanılan
ölçeğin geçerlilik ve güvenilirliğini daha kabul edilebilir bir seviyede tutmak
için sınırlandırılmaktadır. Sürdürülebilirlik için, çalışanların sürdürülebilir
banka bağlılıkları algısını ölçmek üzere geliştirilen kavram örgütsel değişim
bağlamında da faydalı bir stratejidir. Çalışma, sürdürülebilirlik için
sürdürülebilir banka bağlılığı algısını olumlu yönde etkileyecek için ek bir
teşvik, bilgi veya destek sağlayabilmektedir. Çalışmanın özgünlüğü,
sürdürülebilir yönetim teorisi temelinde yapılandırılmış özgün, geçerli ve güvenilir
bir ölçek ortaya koymasıdır.

Abstract
This study develops a
scale for measuring employee perceptions of a bank's commitment to
sustainability that rigorously tests its items for reliability and validity. The data in this study were obtained from the employees
of various banks through the use of self-administered questionnaire. This study
presents evidence of reliability and validity for 34 items constructed to
measure the employee perception on sustainable bank's commitment in three
separate studies. Exploratory factor analysis was performed. The eight -factor
solution for the sample explained 94.5 % of the total variance in scores. The questions derived in this paper provide a
research for an investigation of the concept “sustainability ” in the context
of organizational change. With regard to generalizability, the findings of this
study are limited to provide more credence to the reliability and validity of
the scale. The concept of improving employee perceptions of sustainable banks’
commitment to sustainability is a useful strategy for the context of
organizational change It
may provide additional encouragement, education or assistance to positively
influence the perception of a sustainable bank's commitment to sustainability. The
distinctiveness of the study allows a new, valid and reliable scale to be
constructed based on the theory of sustainability management.
