Self-perceived leadership behaviors of undergraduates: Scale development study Lisans öğrencilerinin liderlik davranışlarına ilişkin öz algıları: Ölçek geliştirme çalışması

The aim of the study is to develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess the self-perceived leadership behaviors of Sport Sciences undergraduates. 24 undergraduate students defined the leadership concept, data collected were content analyzed, and the 53-itemed pool was reduced to 50 items preceding a review done by 3 scholars. Pilot instrument was administered to 284 Sport Sciences students. KMO (.934) and Bartlett test [4809.978; (p<0.000)] were conducted. Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed 4 factors. 4 Factors in total accounts for the % 54.12 of total variance. Factors generated were named as Participative Leader, Self- confident Leader, Principled Leader and Decisive Leader. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was run and Critical N (CN) was calculated as 252.11 Adaptive values of the model was determined as X 2 /df (1,39); RMSEA (0.037); NFI (0.97); CFI (0.99); GFI (0.93). The results indicated the model provided a good fit to the data.The results indicated Self-perceived leadership behaviors of undergraduates scale with 4 factors and 20 items is valid and reliable.

KMO (.934) ve Bartlett testi [4809.978; (p<0.000)] yapilmistir. Acimlayici Faktor Analizi  sonucu maddeler 4 ayri boyutta toplanmistir. Bu dort boyut toplam varyansin % 54.12’sini aciklamaktadir. Boyutlar, Katilimci Lider, Kendine Guvenen Lider, Ilkeli Lider ve Kararli Lider olarak isimlendirilmistir. Dogrulayici Faktor Analizi sonucu kritik N degeri 252.11 olarak hesaplanmistir. Modelin uygunluguna iliskin X 2 /df degeri 1,39; RMSEA degeri 0.037; NFI degeri 0.97; CFI degeri 0.99 ve GFI degeri 0.93 olarak tespit edilmistir. Bu sonuclar modelin iyi uyum degerlerini karsiladigini gostermistir.
