Özet:

 The global attractiveness of digital transformation technologies leads many nations to increase their investments in these technologies and to achieve a stronger economic position. While this process can be considered in the context of many sectors, it has emerged more clearly in recent years, especially in the defence industry. Not only in many developed countries but also in Turkey, especially with the developments in the last 15 years, the defence industry sector can find a place among the notable countries in the world. Therefore, the use of these technologies can be expressed as a dynamic structure whose potential increases daily thanks to the added value it creates and the ecosystem it has created. However, this process is not only the application field of the private sector but also creates value in the context of the theoretical framework and concepts revealed by scientific studies. This study, it is aimed to develop a scale to determine the digital transformation effectiveness in defence industry enterprises. In this framework, the scale and questionnaire questions were sent to companies operating in the Turkish defence industry, and 65 companies responded. The data was subjected to validity and reliability analyses using SPSS 26 and AMOS 26 programs, followed by statistical testing through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The findings showed that the scale has sufficiently high internal consistency, has explanatory and confirmatory factor validity, and also has criterion validity based on sub-dimensions.

 Dijital dönüşüm teknolojilerinin küresel düzeyde olan çekiciliği, birçok ulusun bu teknolojilere dönük olarak yatırımlarını arttırmasına ve ekonomik açıdan daha güçlü bir konuma ulaşma hedefini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu süreç birçok sektör bağlamında ele alınabildiği gibi son yıllarda özellikle savunma sanayi alanında da daha belirgin bir şekilde gün yüzüne çıkmıştır. Sadece gelişmiş birçok dünya ülkesi değil, aynı zamanda Türkiyede de özellikle son 15 yılda yaşanan gelişmelerle birlikte savunma sanayi sektörü dünyada hatırı sayılır ülkeler arasında kendine yer bulabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla bahsi geçen bu teknolojilerin kullanımı, yarattığı katma değer ve oluşturmuş olduğu ekosistem sayesinde potansiyeli günden güne artan dinamik bir yapı olarak ifade edilebilir. Ancak bu süreç sadece özel sektörün uygulama sahası olarak kalmamakta, aynı zamanda bilimsel çalışmaların ortaya çıkardığı teorik çerçeve ve kavramlar bağlamında da bir değer oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile savunma sanayinde yer alan işletmelerde dijital dönüşüm etkinliğini tespit etmeye yönelik bir ölçek geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede, oluşturulan ölçek ve anket soruları Türkiye savunma sanayinde faaliyet gösteren firmalara gönderilmiş, 65 firmadan geri dönüş sağlanmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 26 ve AMOS 26 programları ile geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizlerine tabi tutulmuş, ardından açıklayıcı faktör analizi ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile istatistiksel olarak sınanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ölçeğin yeterli ölçüde yüksek iç tutarlığa sahip olduğunu, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör geçerliliğinin bulunduğunu, aynı zamanda alt boyut temelinde kriter geçerliliğine de sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.
