Osipow and Spokane (1984) developed a model which divides occupational stress into the three main areas of stress, coping, and strain. In the past, this model has been empirically tested by the Occupational Stress Inventory (081). However, the Occupational Stress Inventory - Revised (OSI-R) has recently been developed in order to include some of the more recent developments in occupational stress literature. In addition to the original scales of the OSI, the OSI-R also contains five new experimental scales. The present study used the OSI-R to investigate differences in scale scores among management, trade/skilled, and direct labor personnel in two manufacturing plants. Although significant differences were found on the Role Insufficiency, Responsibility and Family Instrumental Support scales, the findings of this study should be questioned due to the unacceptable reliability levels on many of the OSI-R scales. / Department of Psychological Science
