Shadi Ibrahim ALBANNA

ABSTRACT
This study aimed to adapt the organizational intelligence scale, which was developed by Erçetin, Potas ve Açıkalın from 2001 to 2010, to Arabic language. The original scale consists of 7 domains and 67 items in the Turkish language. To translate the scale into Arabic, first the researcher translated it, then asked three colleagues who are proficient in the two languages, to check the translation, later it was presented to a sworn translation office to get the final approval stating that the translation matches the original copy of the scale, see appendix (1). The study sample included 400 secondary school teachers in the Gaza Strip during the academic year 2018-2019. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was calculated for all fields to determine the internal consistency of the scale, as it showed a high degree of reliability (0.977) , then construct validity tested according to the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and the Average Variance Extracted (AVE). The results prove the Arabic version of the organizational intelligence scale valid and reliable.
