Analysis

The Job Stress Measure is a tool used to assess the level of occupational stress experienced by employees.

Objective

The primary objective of the JSM is to provide a detailed assessment of the level of stress related to work, as well as to identify the key factors that contribute to it.

Calibration

The JSM includes questions related to daily work, working conditions, and interpersonal relationships. Participants are asked to evaluate the frequency or intensity of the stress they experience in various situations using a Likert scale.
