The Job Stress Inventory (JSI) is an instrument designed to assess perceived levels and sources of stress within an organization. It is comprised of 57 multiple choice items and can be completed in under 20 minutes. By focusing upon perceived stress, the JSI provides critical information about how an individual's perceptions compare with those of the over 7000 employees in the normative sample.

The JSI can be used for the measurement of occupational stress at the individual, group, and organizational level. The JSI is also suitable for use as a repeated measure in order to assess changes in perceived occupational stress over time. Customizations are available to support use of this instrument in a wide variety of group survey and research applications. Please contact us with your specific needs.

What the JSI Measures

The JSI assesses the following perceived workplace stressors:

	Physical Demands and Danger		Uncertainty
	Lack of Interpersonal Skills of Supervisor		Lack of Interpersonal Skills of Others
	Time Pressure		Lack of Competence of Supervisor
	Lack of Competence of Others		Lack of Control
	Red Tape		Overall Stress

A brief interpretive report is generated with percentiles and T-scores being reported for each of the scales. Two versions of the report are provided; one designed for distribution to the individual completing the assessment, the other for use by the test administrator.
