Psychosocial Safety Climate Scale
The Psychosocial Safety Climate Scale (PSC-12) measures employees' perceptions of organizational commitment to protecting worker psychological health and preventing psychosocial hazards (stress, harassment, bullying). Developed by Dollard and Karasek, and refined by Bailey and colleagues, the PSC-12 captures four dimensions of management support, communication, and hazard prevention. The scale is predictive of workplace stress, burnout, mental health disorders, and absenteeism, making it a leading indicator for organizational health and a lever for preventive intervention.
