Occupational Stress Index/Evidence
Method evidence record

Occupational Stress Index

The Occupational Stress Index (OSI) is a comprehensive self-report measure of job-related stress and coping resources. Developed by Osipow and Spokane in 1987, the 140-item scale (abbreviated versions also exist) captures role overload, role boundary, role insufficiency, role ambiguity, physical environment demands, and coping resources. The OSI is grounded in stress and coping theory and predicts health outcomes, performance, and retention.
