Occupational Stress Inventory – Revised (OSI-R)

Purpose: Assess occupational stress

Age: 18-70 years

Time: 30 minutes

Administration: Individual and group

Format: Hard-copy; Online

The Occupational Stress Inventory-Revised (OSI-R) measures domains of occupational adjustment that include not only occupational stress, but also stress associated with the client’s inability to cope effectively with stressors in the workplace and other settings.

It also assesses coping resources available to the client to combat the effects of stressors and to alleviate strain.

The OSI-R can serve as a reliable and consistent outcome measure to establish the effectiveness of individual or organisational interventions.

The OSI-R assesses three dimensions of occupational adjustment:

1. Occupational Roles Questionnaire (ORQ): Six scales (Role Overload, Role Insufficiency, Role Ambiguity, Role Boundary, Responsibility, and Physical Environment) measure occupational stress.
2. Personal Strain Questionnaire (PSQ): Four scales (Vocational Strain, Psychological Strain, Interpersonal Strain, and Physical Strain) measure psychological strain.
3. Personal Resources Questionnaire (PRQ): Four scales (i.e., Recreation, Self-Care, Social Support, and Rational/Cognitive Coping) measure coping resources.
