TI  - [Two tools for health surveillance of job stress: the Karasek Job Content 
      Questionnaire and the Siegrist Effort Reward Imbalance Questionnaire].
PG  - 667-70
AB  - Occupational stress is currently studied by the Job Demand/Control model of 
      Karasek, and the Effort/Reward Imbalance model of Siegrist. In this study we have 
      translated into Italian and validated the short form of the Job Content 
      Questionnaire (JCQ) and of the Effort Reward Imbalance Questionnaire (ERI). The 
      questionnaires were applied to 531 health care workers during periodical medical 
      examinations. Estimations of internal consistency, based on the correlation among 
      the variables comprising the set (Cronbach's alpha), in each case were 
      satisfactory (alpha ranging from 0.76 to 0.89), with the exception of the 
      control" scale of JCQ (alpha = 0.57). Exploratory factor analysis showed that 
      "control" scale of JCQ, and "reward" scale of ERI could be divided into two and, 
      respectively, three sub-scales. The Karasek's and Siegrist's models made distinct 
      contributions to explaining perceived work stress. Both JCQ and ERI questionnaire 
      may be useful in occupational health.
