Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Org)

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 turnovers are all stress-related issues that may negatively affect employers with burnt-out employees. The Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Org) not only measures police stress, but also psychometrically measures stressors associated with policing that can later be used in a future program of research, to investigate the associations among physical health, stress, and psychological well-being.
