Description

The Occupational Hardiness Questionnaire (OHQ-46) is an assessment instrument designed to examine professional resilience and occupational hardiness, focusing on characteristics related to individuals’ ability to cope with demanding work environments. The questionnaire is also referred to as the Ερωτηματολόγιο Επαγγελματικής Ανθεκτικότητας and is identified as OHQ-46.

The instrument was developed by M. Jimenez, E. Garrosa, R. Munor, and M. Blanco in 2014. It is intended for the assessment of occupational hardiness, a construct associated with professional endurance, resilience, and adaptation to workplace challenges.

Data Analysis and Use

The OHQ-46 can be used in occupational psychology research and professional assessment contexts to investigate characteristics related to workplace resilience and employees’ ability to manage occupational demands.

The collected data may support research examining professional adaptation, work-related stress, occupational well-being, and factors associated with maintaining effective functioning in challenging work environments.
