Job Demands, Control, and Support Survey

Thank you for helping one of the 2014 Occupational Psychology students with their assignment. This mini survey has been designed to give the student some insight into occupational psychology. The student will develop some interview questions to accompany this survey. This does not constitute a complete or thorough assessment and, therefore, the results should be viewed as a learning experience only. Participation is voluntary and your responses will be held confidentially by the student. Your name and the name of your workplace will be changed for the purpose of writing up the report. If you have any questions you can talk to the student or contact Amanda Biggs (course co-ordinator) on 37353369 or a.biggs@griffith.edu.au

Thank you for your time.

How to Complete the Job Demands, Control, and Support Survey:

Circle a number between 1 (Never/Hardly Ever) and 5 (Always) for each statement, depending on the degree to which the statement reflects your job.
