| Abstract |
According to Karasek, job strain results from an interaction between high demands and low decision latitude. The objective of this study was to reassess the dimensional structure and evaluate the internal consistency of the demand control support questionnaire (DCSQ), a shortened version of the job content questionnaire. The study investigated 825 workers who completed the DCSQ. Confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation models was used to test theoretical structure of dimensionality. Internal consistency was evaluated by composite reliability and convergent validity by average variance extracted. Findings are discussed. |
