Lisansüstü Eğitim’de Örgüt İklimi Ölçeği’nin Geliştirilmesi

Abstract

Higher education institutions have a special atmosphere describing their characteristics. While this atmosphere may be labeled as organizational climate term, openness or closeness of climate determines interaction and trust among higher education stakeholders. Higher education institutions with open climate have higher level of trust and interaction whereas those with close climate have a lower level of trust and interaction. As an important part of higher education, graduate education has intense activities related to research and development. In this respect, an examination of organizational climate in graduate education has significance in terms of research, practice, and theory. The current study aims to develop a scale assessing the organizational climate in the graduate education level. The population of the study consists of graduate students in research universities. The sample was selected with clustered random sampling from this population in two groups. Fivepoint Likert scale including 35 items in five dimensions was administered to 301 graduate students in the first group. Data were run in exploratory factor analysis and there were some updates on the scale. Five-point Likert scale including 28 items in six dimensions was administered to different 653 graduate students. Data were analyzed within confirmatory factor analysis. Results showed that developed scale including dimensions of academic climate, social climate, administrative climate, departmental climate, instructor-related climate, and the advisor-related climate was proved as reliable and valid.

Lisansüstü Eğitimde Yapı ve Süreç: Araştırma Üniversitelerinde Örgüt İklimi ve Lisansüstü Deneyimler

“…In Turkey, there were most of organizational climate studies related to undergraduate level of higher education (Yüceler, 2009). The researcher of the current study came up with a study related to organizational climate in graduate education level (Ertem & Gökalp, 2019b), which is a scale development study.…”

“…Beşli likert tipinde 28 madde 6 boyutta toplanmıştır. Boyutlar, akademik iklim, sosyal iklim, bölüm iklimi, yönetimsel iklim, öğretim üyeleriyle ilişkiye dayalı iklim ve danışmanla ilişkiye dayalı iklimdir Ertem ve Gökalp (2019b). tarafından geliştirilen bu ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayısı .87 olmakla birlikte boyutların güvenirlik katsayıları .70 ile .85 arasında değişmektedir.…”

Is the effectiveness of USG-assisted percutaneous release therapy in the treatment of trigger finger disease affected by the stage of the disease?

“…Trigger finger is a type of tenosynovitis that causes pain and dysfunction in the hand and fingers, especially in middle ages (1)(2)(3). It is a common disorder with a lifetime prevalance of 2% (4).…”

“…In cases where these procedures are insufficient and unsuccessful, or in recurrent cases, classical surgery appears as the only option. Although the results of open surgical intervention are generally good, it is disadvantageous compared to percutaneous release due to reasons such as infection, scar tissue, and fear of surgery in the patient (2,6,7). However, some authors do not recommend percutaneous intervention, especially in cases with 1st finger involvement and flexion contracture (1,8).…”
