ABSTRACT

In this study, we developed and validated a scale that measures the sense of community among Korean military personnel. We conducted the research in three stages. In the first preliminary stage, we administered an open-ended questionnaire to 47 military officers in order to develop the initial questions. Experts verified the content validity of the 60 preliminary questions, and the questions were modified based on the experts’ input. In the second preliminary stage, we extracted preliminary scales for 20 items based on the responses of 457 Army soldiers. In the third stage, we provided the preliminary scale to 656 Korean military personnel, and their responses were used to extract a five-factor matrix with 20 items. The five factors were Needs Fulfillment, Influence, Shared Emotional Connection, Rule Compliance, and Membership; each factor consisted of four items. Finally, after four weeks, we administered the scale to 208 additional military personnel, and the stability of the scale was confirmed, with a test-retest reliability of .90. To conclude the paper, we describe the implications of the scale developed in this study as well as directions for future studies.

 抽象的

在这项研究中，我们开发并验证了衡量韩国军事人员社区意识的量表。我们分三个阶段进行了研究。在第一阶段，我们向 47 名军官进行了开放式问卷调查，以提出初步问题。专家对60个初步问题的内容有效性进行了验证，并根据专家的意见对问题进行了修改。在第二个初步阶段，我们根据457名陆军士兵的反应，提取了20个项目的初步量表。在第三阶段，我们向656名韩国军人提供了初步量表，并根据他们的回答提取了包含20个项目的五因素矩阵。这五个因素分别是需求满足、影响力、共同情感联系、规则遵守和成员资格；每个因素由四个项目组成。最后，四个星期后，我们对另外 208 名军事人员进行了量表的测试，量表的稳定性得到了确认，重测信度为 0.90。作为本文的总结，我们描述了本研究中开发的量表的含义以及未来研究的方向。
