Translation and Adaptation of the Survey of Organizational Research Climate to the Croatian Context
Journal of Academic Ethics, v23 n4 p2199-2229 2025
An organizational climate based on research integrity is one of the key goals of contemporary universities and scientific organizations. Survey of Organizational Research Climate is widely tested and used instrument for measuring organizational climate based on research integrity developed in the USA; however, its successful use in different cultures and environments requires translation and adaptation. This study aims to translate and adapt Survey of Organizational Research Climate to the social, legal, and cultural context of Croatia in a three-phase process. First, we translated the survey into Croatian using a double-blind forward and backward translation method. Next, we conducted a content validity assessment in which experts examined whether all relevant aspects of the research integrity climate were successfully translated and adapted to the Croatian context. Finally, a face validity assessment was performed to evaluate the comprehensibility of the survey among typical representatives of the academic population in Croatia. Croatian version of the Survey of Organizational Research Climate survey will enable successful monitoring and evaluation of organizational climate in Croatian educational institution with internationally comparable results.
