Organizational Culture Scale: Development and Validation in Philippine Context (Elma P. Apostol and Carlo F. Vadil, c 2023)

Abstract

The Organizational Culture Scale is an 80- item questionnaire developed by Apostol and Vadil (2023), has undergone rigorous validation processes to ensure its validity and reliability in any organizational context. The scale has undergone both construct validation, which assesses the underlying theoretical constructs, and expert validation, which involves obtaining feedback and input from subject matter experts in the field of organizational culture to establish a solid foundation. To evaluate the reliability of the instrument, reliability testing was conducted using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The obtained coefficient of .917 indicates a high level of internal consistency and reliability within the scale. This suggests that the items consistently measure the same underlying construct of cooperative citizenship. Additionally, the construct reliability coefficient of .917 demonstrates that the scale effectively measures a single dimension of organizational culture. This indicates that the scale provides a focused and reliable assessment of the specific construct, ensuring that it captures the essence of organizational culture in Philippine setting accurately. In summary, the Organizational Culture Scale developed by Apostol and Vadil (2023) is a validated and reliable instrument suitable for measuring and assessing organizational culture among employees in various organizations in the Philippine setting. The robust construct and expert validation processes, coupled with the high reliability coefficients, contribute to the scale’s credibility and overall strength as a measurement tool.
