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.
