Relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. In this context, the questionnaire form consisting of three stages was conducted online with 90 people working in youth centers in Batman province. The first part of the study included demographic questions, the second part included the 12-item Digital Transformation Scale developed by Nadem et al. (2018) and adapted into Turkish by Sağlam (2021), and the last part included the 24-item Performance Management Scale developed by Beeri et al. (2018) and adapted into Turkish by Demir et al. (2020). The demographic information of the participants and the distribution of the answers to the survey questions were analyzed by frequency analysis. Whether the scale and its sub- dimensions showed significant differences according to demographic information was analyzed by independent samples t- test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The relationships between the scales were analyzed by correlation analysis. Analyses were performed with SPSS 20.0 software at 95% confidence level.
