“…(We coded "no" as 0, "?" as 1.5, and "yes" as 3, after reverse-coding items as appropriate [Stanton et al, 2001]). The mean SIG score we calculated for each team controlled for several workplace stressors (team-level ␣ ϭ .84).…”

The scale was developed for measuring the general experience of workplace stress so that it could be applicable across professions, industries, and cultures.…”
