Abstract (2. Language): 
This study described the process of developing and validating the cause analysis scale (CAS) that can be utilized by governmental organizations to determine possible causes of performance factors. In the first phase of the study, data collected from 315 CSI officers provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the scale. After exploratory factor analysis, three factors emerged: the workplace, competency, and job value. To confirm the factorial structure of the 25-item CAS, in the second phase, data collected from 1176 CSI officers. The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the three-factor model was confirmed a good fit with high indices. Followed by the further validation studies, the CAS will be used as a diagnostic tool for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to determine performance factors from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma devlet kurumları tarafından olası performans faktörlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla kullanılabilecek Neden Analizi Ölçeğinin (NAÖ) geliştirme ve doğrulama süreçlerini açıklamaktadır. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında 315 Olay Yeri İnceleme ve Kimlik Tespit Müdürlüğü’nde görevli polis memurlarından toplanan veriler ölçeğin geçerliliğini ve güvenirliğini gösteren bulguları sağlamıştır. Açıklayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda üç faktör ortaya çıkmıştır: işyeri, yeterlilik ve iş değeri. 25 maddelik Neden Analizi Ölçeği’nin (NAÖ) faktörel yapısını doğrulamak amacıyla 1176 polis memurundan veri toplanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları üç faktörlü yapının yüksek uyum indeksleriyle iyi bir uyum gösterdiği doğrulanmıştır. Gelecekte yapılabilecek doğrulama çalışmaları sonrasında NAÖ; araştırmacılar, uygulayıcılar ve ilgili kişiler için hem teorik hem de uygulamalı bakış açısı bağlamında performans faktörlerinin belirlenmesinde tanısal bir ölçek olarak kullanılabilecektir.
