The purpose of this study was to define the dimensions of coaching performance for coaches and to develop a scale to measure those dimensions. The literature-based model used in this study espoused the use of three broad categories—behavioral product factors, behavioral process factors related to the task, and behavioral process factors related to maintenance of the organization. Each of these broad categories was further subdivided into two classes to yield a model of six dimensions of coaching performance. The dimensions explored were (a) team products, (b) personal products, (c) direct task behaviors, (d) indirect task behaviors, (e) administrative maintenance behaviors, and (f) public relations behaviors. Seventy-seven administrators and 363 coaches from Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union institutions responded to the coaching performance scale for the purposes of this study. Item-to-total correlations, confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency estimates supported the conceptual model and yielded a psychometrically sound Scale of Coaching Performance (SCP).

The purpose of this study is to broaden the definition of performance to include extra-role and in-role aspects in the conceptualisation of performance in direct selling. Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the authors first report the development of the extra-role performance scale. A model of extra-role performance consisting of five dimensions including individual initiative, helping behaviour, self-development, organisational loyalty and organisational compliance was identified. Nomological validity of the newly developed scale was established by relating the dimensions of extra-role performance to the in-role performance measure. The authors discuss the implications of their findings and suggest avenues for further research.

The objective of the current research was to verify the extent to which Gouldner’s (1954) three patterns of bureaucracy were prevalent in intercollegiate athletic departments. Single and multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) of the data provided by 907 coaches from all three NCAA divisions (ndivI= 322; ndivII= 277; ndivIII= 308) showed that structural relationships among goals, processes, and patterns of bureaucracy were invariant among all three groups of coaches. Substantively, the factor of developmental goals through developmental processes (Trail & Chelladurai, 2000) predicted positively the presence ofrepresentative bureaucracyandpunishment-centered bureaucracyand negatively the existence ofmock bureaucracy. This means that the more athletic departments emphasize academic values, the less the coaches perceive a pattern of loose coupling between rules and actual technical activities. Implications of these results for theory and practice were discussed.

Theoretical Assumptions

Although the broad research regarding parental psychological control, instruments to assess the multidimensionality of the construct are lacking. The aim of the present study was to de-velop multidimensional measure of parental psychological control. In the first study, item se-lection of the new Inventory of Parental Psychological Control (IPPC) was conducted using a set of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in a sample of 209 emerging adults. The second study replicated the results by using different sets of analyses and independent sample of 400 emerging adults. In both studies, reliability and concurrent validity were also assessed. Re-sults suggested that both forms of IPPC are parallel with the theoretical assumptions and are psychometrically robust. IPPC can be used to assess multidimensionality of the construct.

Aim Aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable measuring tool in order to evaluate comfort of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Background There has been available a scale developed to evaluate comfort of hemodialysis patients “HDCS (Hemodialysis Comfort Scale).” Due to HDCS consisted of nine items and evaluated comfort in two sub-dimensions, researchers who developed HDCS, stated that number of scale items and dimensions is not sufficient to fully evaluate comfort. Therefore, (Hemodialysis Comfort Scale Version II) HDCS-II was developed with this research and its development process were discussed in this article. Materials and Methods Sample of this methodological research was consisted of 436 chronic hemodialysis patients, treated at five hemodialysis centers between October 2018 and May 2019. In process of creation item pool, comfort theory and literature was examined. The items in the old scale were also revised and included. Thereby a new question pool of 87 items was created. This draft scale was sent for expert opinion. In validity of scale; content validity index, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used. In reliability study; Item analysis, cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient, parallel form reliability and item analysis based on upper-lower group averages were used. Results There was consistency between expert views relating to items in scale. According to exploratory factor analysis, scale consisted of six dimensions. Cronbach alpha coefficient of 26-item scale was 0.79. Alpha values of the six factor in scale were, respectively; for physical relief 0.83, for physical ease 0.71, for psychospiritual ease 0.87, for psychospiritual transcendence 0.85, for environmental transcendence 0.82, and for sociocultural ease 0.61. Conclusion HDCS-II is a 5-point likert type and consists of 26 items and 6 factors. This scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine comfort of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment.

The aim of this study is to adapt Questionnaire of Changes in Experiencing and Behavior (QCEB) developed by Zielke and Kopf-Mehnert (1978, 2001) to Turkish. The scale provides information about change, direction and strength after counseling. The original version of the questionnaire is in German; the scale is one factor and consists of 42 items. For the adaptation study, the original scale was firstly translated into Turkish. After linguistic equivalence study, item analysis, validity and reliability studies were carried out. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the validity of the structure and it was found that the compliance indices were acceptable (?²=2113;/sd=818; ?²/sd=2.5; CFI=.95; TLI=.94; RMSEA=0.08; SRMR=0.06). The results of this analysis show that the original factor structure of QCEB has been replicated and adequately validated in the sample of Turkish clients.  In addition, the analysis of the items revealed that total correlations of the items were significant. In the context of reliability studies of the scale, Cronbach ? and test-retest values were calculated. Based on this, the scale had Cronbach ? value of .96 and a test-retest value of .72. As a result, Questionnaire of Changes in Experiencing and Behavior shows that there is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to measure the change after counseling or psychotherapy in Turkey. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Zielke ve Kopf-Mehnert (1978, 2001) tarafından geliştirilen Yaşantı ve Davranışlarda Değişim Ölçeğini (YADA) Türkçeye uyarlamaktır. Ölçek psikolojik danışma sonrasındaki değişimin, yönü ve gücü hakkında bilgi sunmaktadır. Özgün formu Almanca olan ölçek, tek faktörlü ve 42 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Uyarlama çalışması için öncelikle özgün ölçeğin Türkçeye çevirisi yapılmıştır. Dilsel eşdeğerlilik çalışmasının ardından madde analizi, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapı geçerliğini test etmek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve uyum indekslerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur (χ²=2113;/sd=818; χ²/sd=2.5; CFI=.95; TLI=.94; RMSEA=0.08; SRMR=0.06). Bu analiz sonuçları YADA'nın orijinal faktör yapısının Türk danışanlardan oluşan örneklemde yinelendiğini ve yeterli düzeyde geçerliliğinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca yapılan madde analizi ölçekteki maddelerin, madde toplam korelasyonlarının anlamlı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik çalışmaları bağlamında Cronbach α ve test-tekrar test değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Buna göre ölçeğin Cronbach α değeri .96 ve test-tekrar test değeri .72 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Yaşantı ve Davranışlarda Değişim Ölçeği'nin Türkiye'de psikolojik danışma veya psikoterapi sonrasında danışanlardaki değişimin ölçülmesinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir. The aim of this study is to adapt Questionnaire of Changes in Experiencing and Behavior (QCEB) developed by Zielke and Kopf-Mehnert (1978, 2001) to Turkish.

For the past three decades self-efficacy studies have been conducted in social science and other fields of academic endeavor. However, sufficient evidence has clearly shown that this research interest seems to neglect Public Relations (i.e. PR) discipline as there are hardly traceable works connected to this important field of study. This work therefore, represents an attempt to develop PR professionals’ self-efficacy scale to measure the ability of PR professionals in carrying out their duties. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted with PR experts and the result has shown a required factor loading for 23 out of total 24 items. Equally, the six operationalized dimensions were all consistent when confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Similarly, discriminant and convergent validity tests which guarantees the instrument as valid for measuring Public Relations practitioners’ self-efficacy were also found to be fit.

ABSTRACTObjectives:There have been relatively few interventions on an individual level to support community-dwelling people with dementia to continue to fulfill their potential in society. This study investigated the implementation of DemenTalent, an intervention in which people with dementia become active as volunteers in society based on their talents. The intervention was linked to existing Meeting Centers for people with dementia and their informal caregivers.Method:We conducted a qualitative multiple case study. Semi-structured interviews regarding experienced facilitators and barriers were conducted with 22 key figures/stakeholders in 12 Meeting Centers during the preparation, starting and continuation phases of the implementation of DemenTalent.Results:Several influencing factors were found on a micro level (e.g. Public Relations, training, management involvement), meso level (e.g. finances, collaborating with others) and macro level (e.g. laws and regulations, national and regional policy) during the different phases of the implementation process. Factors mentioned by most stakeholders were human and financial resources. Another important factor appeared to be the culture of the region.Conclusion:The insight into facilitating and impeding factors in the implementation of DemenTalent provided by this study will inform and enable other Meeting Centers to adopt a fitting strategy to implement DemenTalent in their own center. This is expected to help disseminate the intervention further, giving more people with dementia the chance to fulfill their potential, find a meaningful and pleasant way of spending their time, and actively participate in society. This will contribute to a more inclusive society and less stigmatization of people with dementia.

This paper presents the development of a questionnaire for measuring the quality of the work of the PR department (office, sector) in organizations. For this purpose, the necessary research was carried out with experts in the field of public relations, and the statistical methods of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used. The research was conducted in Serbia. As a result of these procedures and analysis, a questionnaire was prepared for measuring the quality of the work of the PR department in organizations. The questionnaire consists of 5 dimensions and 16 items. The dimensions are as follows: ethical and responsible action, proactive and quality action, strategic and effective action, media relations and internal public relations. The questionnaire can be widely applied, both in practical terms and in a theoretical (scientific) sense. The basic practical application of the questionnaire involves evaluating PR department according to the set items and dimensions. In a scientific sense, the questionnaire can be used to examine the impact of various aspects of organizational behaviour on the quality of the work of the PR department, as well as the impact of the quality of the work of the PR department on different aspects of financial and organizational performance.

Evaluating coaching performance based on the use of job-specific assessment criteria has been particularly problematic for college athletic departments. The purpose of this study was to assess the importance attached to six dimensions of criteria rated by administrators (n = 87) and coaches (n = 532) in the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union. The six dimensions were team products, personal products, direct task behaviors, indirect task behaviors, administrative maintenance behaviors, and public relation behaviors. The results of Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MÁNOVA) and repeated measures ANOVA showed that, in general, administrators and coaches held similar beliefs about the criteria important for coaching evaluation, but they had some differences in the order of importance of the dimensions. Both groups rated direct task behaviors—that is, the specific abilities or skills used directly in the day-today practice of coaching—as the most important dimension of grouped evaluation criteria.
