Adaptation of the Organizational Mindfulness Scale Into Turkish

This study aims to introduce the scale of organizational mindfulness to Turkish literature which was developed by Vogus and Sutcliffe (2007, 2012) and adapted to organizational mindfulness literature from Highly Reliable Organizations Theory by Weick and Sutcliffe (2015). In this context, validity and reliability analyzes were performed. After the translation of the related scale into Turkish, the suitability of language and content was evaluated according to expert opinions. The survey was applied to 738 people and the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.926. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the scale adapted to Turkish validates the single factor structure of organizational mindfulness scale. This scale shows the feature of being the shortest way with its five-principle mechanism in measuring the basic efficiency of enterprises. Also, the scale provides a roadmap for organizational development in all environmental conditions such as uncertainty and competition.
