The aim of this research paper is to develop and publish a research scale for measuring the competency of management teacher, particularly in India.
After generating items through two focus group interviews with 20 teaching veterans and later deleting the duplicates, a pilot survey on 99 management teachers was done. Item analysis and principal component analysis were made to establish validity and reliability of the scale.
A research scale for measuring management teacher's competency was constructed.
There are now 36 items in the constructed scale. The Cronbach's alpha for the entire instrument is 0.929 which is far higher than the desirable statistic 0.7. The total variance explained by the factors is 66.847. Further, the Content Validity Index which was worked out based on 8 experts’ responses is 0.8.
This scale is useful for any further research on management teachers, for example, the relation between competency and student satisfaction levels, competency and career success of students, teacher's background and their competency and so on.
Such a scale was not developed till now for Indian context to further research on management teachers. Even outside India too, there was no research scale developed for measuring management teacher's competency.
