1. Development of the high-performance work systems scale for hospitals: validity and reliability Study

Purpose-This study aims to develop a scale that evaluates the level of HPWS practices in hospitals based on employee perceptions and to make its validity and reliability.Methodology-The study was conducted via an online survey in three public education and research hospitals.The sample consisted of 309 clinical and administrative employees.After performed face and content validity, a pilot study conducted.The item-total score correlations and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated.Construct validity was tested.Correlation analysis was performed to test scale-related validity.Findings-Overall, a 29 items scale were obtained, encompassing 6 factors that explained 78% of the total variance.Reliability coefficients varied between .96 and .87.Confirmatory factor analyses were found to show good fit.Evidence for criterion-related validity was obtained after correlation analysis. Conclusion-The scale that proven content, construct, and predictive validity, can be used to evaluate the level of high-performance work systems in hospitals.
