Purpose: In this study, it is aimed a scale development to measure sustainable process innovation performances of
manufacturing enterprises.
Methodology: In the 17-item measurement model created based on the literature, explanatory factor analysis and
confirmatory factor analysis were conducted by using a total of 291 valid data obtained from the manufacturing
enterprises via a web-based survey.
Findings: As a result of the analyses, a measurement model consisting of 15 items has emerged to use in measuring
sustainable process innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises.
Practical Implications: The 15-item measurement scale obtained was introduced to use of manufacturing enterprises
which want to measure sustainable process innovation performance and investigators who will conduct research in this
field.
Originality: In the literature, there has not been any scale development study previously to measure sustainable process
innovation performance of manufacturing enterprises. Hence, it is tried to fill the gap in this area via this study.

İmalat İşletmelerinin Sürdürülebilir Süreç İnovasyon Performansının Ölçümü için Ölçek Geliştirme

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, imalat işletmelerinin sürdürülebilir süreç inovasyon performanslarının ölçülebilmesi için bir ölçek
geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Yöntem: Literatür tabanlı oluşturulan 17 maddelik ölçüm modeli üzerinde, web tabanlı anket yöntemi ile imalat
işletmelerinden elde edilen toplamda 291 geçerli veri kullanılarak, açıklayıcı faktör analizi ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi
gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda, imalat işletmelerinin sürdürülebilir süreç inovasyon performansının ölçülmesinde
kullanılacak 15 maddeden oluşan bir ölçüm modeli ortaya çıkmıştır.
Sonuç ve Öneriler: Elde edilen 15 maddelik ölçek, sürdürülebilir süreç inovasyon performansını ölçmek isteyen imalat
işletmelerinin ve bu alanda araştırma yapacak olan araştırmacıların kullanımına sunulmuştur.
Özgün Değer: Literatürde daha önce imalat işletmelerinde sürdürülebilir süreç inovasyon performansını ölçmek için
yapılmış bir ölçek geliştirme çalışması bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma ile bu alandaki boşluk doldurulmaya çalışılmıştır.
