“…The second part of the questionnaire presented the two questionnaires to validate: firstly, we used the Effort-Reward Imbalance Inventory (ERI) [ 10 ] in its short/10-item version, that was previously translated into Spanish, which has already been adapted and used in several applied studies dealing with workers with different occupations, including samples of professional drivers from different countries [ 39 , 40 ]. The questionnaire is composed of two core sub-scales, used to assess psychosocial, stress-related risk factors at work according to the factors proposed in the Effort-Reward Imbalance model [ 41 ].…”

Background The accumulated evidence has shown how professional drivers are, in psychosocial terms, among the most vulnerable workforces, and how their crashes (some of them preceded by stressful working conditions) constitute both an occupational and public health concern. However, there is a clear lack of validated tools for measuring stress and other key hazardous issues affecting transport workers, and most of the existing ones, frequently generic, do not fully consider the specific features that properly describe the work environment of professional driving. This study assessed the psychometric properties, convergent validity and consistency of two measures used for researching occupational stress among professional drivers: the Siegrist’s ERI (Effort-Reward Imbalance Inventory) and Karasek’s JCQ (Job Content Questionnaire). Methods We examined the data collected from 726 Spanish professional drivers. Analyses were performed using Structural Equation Models, thus obtaining basic psychometric properties of both measures and an optimized structure for the instruments, in addition to testing their convergent validity. Results The results suggest that the abbreviated versions of ERI (10 items) and JCQ (20 items) have clear dimensional structures, high factorial weights, internal consistency and an improved fit to the task’s dynamics and hazards, commonly faced by of professional drivers; a short set of items with low psychometrical adjustment was excluded, and the root structure of the questionnaires was kept. Conclusions This study supports the value and reliability of ERI-10 and JCQ-20 for measuring job stress among professional drivers. Also, there is a high consistency between both measures of stress, even though they belong to different theoretical conceptions of the phenomenon. In practical settings, these instruments can be useful for occupational researchers and practitioners studying stress-related issues from the perspective of human factors.

Los guardias de seguridad privada en México perciben elevados niveles de estrés. Sin embargo, el uso de instrumentos validados para evaluar estrés laboral en este colectivo es escaso. Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario DECORE en una muestra de guardias de seguridad mexicanos y su nivel de estrés. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal con muestreo no probabilístico por cuotas en el que participaron 933 trabajadores, 596 hombres (63.87%) y 337 mujeres (36.13%), con media de edad de 35 años (DE=11.25). Los resultados mostraron un ajuste adecuado utilizando un modelo con 22 ítems, no así en el modelo de 44 ítems. Para comprobar la validez convergente del DECORE se aplicaron otros cuestionarios (ERIQ, MBI y GHQ). En cuanto al nivel de estrés de los trabajadores evaluados, estos perciben un nivel de moderado a medioalto. Se recomienda aplicar el cuestionario DECORE en su versión de 22 ítems.
