The study first presented the theoretical framework of the concept of organizational improvisation, which has been understudied in Turkey so far. In the experimental stage, SOIC was adapted into Turkish culture and used for the first time in Turkey. SOIC-TR has linguistic equivalence, construct validity, and reliability. However, it has a uni-dimensional structure whereas the original version (SOIC-EN) consists of eight items, loading on two separate factors. In the second stage, a single screening model was employed to determine schools’ organizational improvisation capacity and to compare it by various variables. In this stage the study sample consisted of 366 school administrators and teachers in Batman. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling. Participants had an “Agree” level perception of their schools’ organizational improvisation capacity. Their views significantly differed by their position and school size but not by school grade level.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction}, author={Limon, İbrahim and Dilekçi, Ümit}, year={2021}, month={Feb.}, pages={1147–1182} }
