Occupational stress, as a negative facet, is a pervasive problem with significant implications for organizations, employees, welfare systems and health. The implementation of measurement tools that can capture the different organizational dimensions that determine stress in workers is part of the stress management and troubleshooting strategy that every company must manage daily. The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate the 25-item version of the ILO-WHO stress scale by Ivancevich and Matteson in the context of the Canary Islands of Spain. The tool assesses specific organizational dimensions of work-related stress determinants: organizational climate and structure, leader influence, cohesion, territory, technology and group support. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on a sample of 1510 Canary Islands workers was carried out. The results indicate that the job stress scale revealed adequate psychometric properties, construct validity and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.972), and it can be profitably used to measure stress. At the end of the paper, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
职业压力作为一个负面因素，是一个普遍存在的问题，对组织、员工、福利系统和健康都有重大影响。实施能够捕捉决定员工压力的不同组织维度的测量工具，是每个公司日常必须管理的压力管理和故障排除策略的一部分。本研究的目的是在西班牙加那利群岛的背景下，对Ivancevich和Matteson编制的25项版国际劳工组织-世界卫生组织压力量表进行改编和验证。该工具评估与工作相关的压力决定因素的特定组织维度：组织氛围和结构、领导影响力、凝聚力、领域、技术和团队支持。对1510名加那利群岛工人的样本进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）。结果表明，工作压力量表显示出足够的心理测量特性、结构效度和内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.972），并且可以有效地用于测量压力。在论文结尾，讨论了理论和实践意义。
