Validity-reliability test of a scale developed for entrepreneurship features of university students

SUMMARY

Entrepreneurship involves the production of goods or services by using human labour, bringing together the factors of production, which are considered as technology, capital and natural resources. As for entrepreneurs, they are dynamic people who take risks to realize their vision for the future by making good use of the opportunities available and leave positive marks on their environment. In order to develop a new scale for the entrepreneurship, validity and reliability studies should be conducted. Reliability and validity tests are the factors that ensure accurate results in measurements without a predetermined norm value. The second factor that makes a measurement strong is validity. Validity means compliance with the purpose of the measurement and generalization to the measured universe. The study group consisted of 386 students studying at the Faculty of Nursing of Near East University. The sociodemographic characteristics of the students were analyzed in terms of age, gender and educational status. Entrepreneurship scale scores were compared according to the nonformal education of students related to entrepreneurship. In the present study, findings regarding the reliability of the Scale were obtained with Cronbach alpha (Internal consistency). Findings showed that the reliability coefficient of the scale was sufficient, and it was concluded that the scale was valid and reliable.Keywords: Entrepreneurship, validity, reliability, scale, scale development. RESUMENEl emprendimiento implica la producción de bienes o servicios mediante el trabajo humano, que reúne los factores de producción, que se consideran tecnología, capital y recursos naturales. En cuanto a los emprendedores, son personas dinámicas que se arriesgan para hacer realidad su visión del futuro haciendo un buen uso de las oportunidades disponibles y dejando marcas positivas en su entorno. Para desarrollar una nueva escala para el emprendimiento, se deben realizar estudios de validez y confiabilidad. Las pruebas de confiabilidad y validez son los factores que aseguran resultados precisos en mediciones sin un valor de norma predeterminado. El segundo factor que hace que una medición sea fuerte es la validez. Validez significa cumplimiento con el propósito de la medición y generalización del universo medido. El grupo de estudio consistió en 386 estudiantes que estudiaban en la Facultad de Enfermería de la Universidad del Cercano Oriente. Se analizaron las características sociodemográficas de los estudiantes en términos de edad, género y estado educativo. Las puntuaciones de la escala de emprendimiento se compararon de acuerdo con la educación no formal de los estudiantes relacionada con el emprendimiento. En el presente estudio, los resultados con respecto a la confiabilidad de la Escala se obtuvieron con Cronbach alfa (Consistencia interna). Los resultados mostraron que el coeficiente de confiabilidad de la escala era suficiente, y se concluyó que la escala era válida y confiable.Palabras clave: Emprendimiento, validez, confiabilidad, escala, desarrollo de escala.
