Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the internal consistency and factorial composition of the Job Stress Questionnaire (JSQ), a perceptual measure of job related stress, and to compare its factor structure across three occupational groups as well as comparing the empirical solutions to the a priori dimensions hypothesized for this scale. The results indicated acceptable reliabilities for three of the four subscales while factor analysis revealed limited support for the factorial validity of the instrument. Subgroup analyses by occupational category showed differential factor dimensionality for blue collar, white collar, and professional workers. The results were discussed in terms of their implications of job stress as a function of occupational class membership.
