The Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Org) is a 20-item measure created to monitor one of the most stressful occupations in North America; policing. Reduced productivity, absenteeism, and employee turnover are all stress-related issues that may negatively affect employers with burnt-out employees. To address such challenges, the Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Org) is a valuable tool. Not only does it measure police stress, but it also psychometrically evaluates stressors associated with policing. Moreover, this data can be utilized in future research programs to further explore the associations among physical health, stress, and psychological well-being.
