The present study reports the development and psychometric parameters of the Evaluation of Psychosocial Stressors in the Labour Context Scale. Exploratory factor analysis conducted in Study 1 with data from 630 employees (females = 51.5%; mean age = 32.77; SD = 10.33) suggested a seven-factor structure for the 35 items, with good internal consistency indicators for all subscales. The seven-factor structure was supported with confirmatory factor analysis in another sample of 305 employees (44.3% females, mean age = 43.62; SD = 12.36) in Study 2. The correlations between the seven factors and both negative affects towards work and job satisfaction were overall consistent with predictions. This study provides initial evidence of validity and internal consistency for the new scale. The study concludes by recommending further psychometric tests of the scale as well as its future use for diagnosis and research.
