AB  - BACKGROUND: The Health & Safety Executive Management Standards Indicator Tool 
      (HSE-MS IT) is a questionnaire commonly used to assess work-related stress risks 
      at an organizational level. A critical factor in determining whether this 
      instrument is actually useful is that higher levels of stress risk in the 
      work-design domains should predict higher levels of stress and stress-related 
      outcomes in workers. Only a few studies, however, have addressed this issue. 
      AIMS: To test both the concurrent and construct validity of the HSE-MS IT, by 
      relating it with another widely used instrument, the Job Content Questionnaire 
      (JCQ), and by examining its relationships with a set of work-related stress 
      outcomes. METHODS: An anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to 
      a sample of employees in an Italian municipality. The questionnaire included the 
      HSE-MS IT, self-reported measures of job satisfaction, job motivation and stress 
      at work, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the reduced form of the JCQ. 
      RESULTS: A total of 760 out of 779 employees completed the questionnaire. Results 
      showed moderate to strong correlation among the corresponding HSE-MS IT and JCQ 
      scales. Hierarchical regression highlighted the specific contribution of each of 
      the HSE-MS IT scales in predicting three relevant work-related stress outcomes 
      (self-reported stress, job satisfaction and job motivation), after controlling 
      for gender, age and life satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings consolidated the 
      HSE-MS IT validity and showed the specific sensitivity of its scales to assess 
      different aspects of work-related distress, including self-perception of stress 
      at work. These results can have practical implications for the occupational 
      well-being of employees.
