Analysis

The Subjective Satisfaction and Stress of Work and Occupation Scale is used to assess personal perceptions regarding satisfaction and stress related to work and occupation. This scale helps to understand individuals’ emotional and psychological responses to their work and professional duties.

Purpose

The purpose of the scale is to evaluate subjective satisfaction and stress associated with work and occupation, providing information about an individual’s psychological well-being in the professional environment. This assessment can help organizations identify areas that require improvement in order to minimize stress and increase employee satisfaction.
