Sommario/riassunto: | Of interest to occupational health psychologists, industrial hygienists, ergonomists, as well as to labor and management, inter alia, the Occupational Stress Index can also be integrated with objective measurements and expert observer assessment of job characteristics. In particular, the OSI could detect areas for which in-depth observational analysis is needed, especially with a view to possibilities for practical improvements in the work environment. |
