Assesses Intensity and Frequency of Occurrence of 30 Stressor Events Related to Job Stress for Individuals or Groups

The JSS was developed to assess sources of work-related stress. It provides valuable information about the specific aspects of a particular job or work environment that may be good targets for job redesign, organizational change, or other interventions. The client indicates on a scale of 0 to 9+ days how often each JSS stressor event has occurred during the preceding 6 months.

  • Appropriate for individuals in a wide variety of business, industrial, and educational settings.
  • Severity and Frequency scales provide information on the average level of perceived severity and frequency of occurrence.
  • The Stress Index assesses the client’s overall level of stress based on the combined severity and frequency ratings.
