Job Demands-Resources Scale

The Job Demands-Resources Scale (JDRS) is a multidimensional assessment instrument based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, developed by Demerouti and Bakker in 2001. It measures the balance between job demands (workload, time pressure, emotional demands) and resources (autonomy, support, opportunities for growth) that shape employee well-being, engagement, and burnout risk. The JDRS has become central to occupational health research and practice.
