What does the HSE scale measure?
What aspects of work and well-being is the HSE scale related to?
| HSE Stress Factor | What this measures |
|---|---|
| Role | How clear job roles are, whether there are conflicting aspects of the job role |
| Peer Support | The level of support from peers and immediate colleagues |
| Relationships | Whether there is conflict; whether the employee has experienced bullying or harassment at work |
| Managerial Support | The level of support from managers and the organisation |
| Demands | The level of workload pressures and whether these are manageable |
| Control | Basic aspects of control e.g. pace of work, breaks |
| Change | The impact of change; whether change is managed and communicated effectively |
Notes: Factor scores are derived from answers to a number of related questions asked in the QoWL Survey. The Stress factors come from the UK Health & Safety Executive’s Work-Related Stress Indicator Scale (HSE, 2004)
