Abstract

Background: Job Stress Scale (JSS) by Parker and DeCotiis (1983) which consists of two dimensions: time stress and anxiety stress, is a relevant scale to seafaring context. The psychometric properties of JSS have yet to be examined in the Malaysian context.

Aims: This study attempts to examine the reliability and validity of the Job Stress Scale (JSS) among Malaysian Seafarers.

Methods: An online questionnaire was created and distributed to a convenience sample of 390 Malaysian seafarers from various social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Results: The results support JSS as a multi-dimensional construct with two-dimension, time stress and anxiety stress. The JSS also has established convergent and discriminant validity. For validation through correlation with other related measures, organizational justice and work stress were correlated.

Conclusions: The JSS has established psychometric properties and can be proposed to be used as a tool to assess work stress among seafarers.

马来西亚海员工作压力量表的心理测量特征。

背景：工作压力量表（JSS）由Parker和DeCotiis（1983）编制，由时间压力和焦虑压力两个维度组成，是一种与航海环境相关的量表。JSS的心理测量特性尚未在马来西亚的背景下进行检验。目的：本研究试图检验马来西亚海员工作压力量表（JSS）的信度和效度。方法：制作了一份在线问卷，并从各种社交媒体平台（如WhatsApp、Facebook和LinkedIn）向390名马来西亚海员分发了方便样本。结果：研究结果支持JSS是具有二维、时间压力和焦虑压力的多维结构。JSS还建立了收敛效度和判别效度。通过与其他相关指标的相关性验证，组织公平感与工作压力存在相关性。结论：JSS已经建立了心理测量特性，可以作为评估海员工作压力的工具。
