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.
