Abstract

Objective: The aim of this research is to study the Construction and Standardization of measurement scale for studies that study the use of Internet Of Things.
Methodology: Combination of descriptive developmental method used in this research. Statistical population of this research includes 8700 specialists of Internet Of Things with activity experience in companies of knowledge foundation in 2018, Of this community, 490 people have been selected as the sample using the Cochran formula. Statistical sample selected by cluster sampling method since first half of may unit first half of June in 2018.
Findings: Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria of the research, collected tools include 35 markers for the evaluation of 5 components. Test questions prepared based on theoretical literature. Test of measurement scale of Internet Of Things usage includes 5 parts: (training, research and scientific production, executive works, innovation, marketing and scales), and its content – related validity confirmed by professors and implemented on statistical sample. Based on implemented calculations of interior similarity coefficient, rate of micro scales of training, research and scientific production executive works, innovation, marketing and scales are respectively 0/83, 0/93, 0/96, 0/89, 0/82, and total test score is 0/95. Analysis method with varimax rotation used to determine structure validity and test components.
Discussion: With respect to obtained validity and reliability, test of Internet Of Things usage is a tool that may be used for centers related to Internet Of Things research.
