ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Workplace mobbing represents a severe type of occupational stress. The aim of this study is to evaluate the discriminant validity of the Maugeri Stress Index-Revised questionnaire (MASI-R) for the perceived work stress assessment.METHODS:
A total of 105 patients were enrolled at the Occupational Medicine Uinit of our Institute for mobbing-related issues; they were compared to a control group matched for age, sex and professional category. Work stress perception was assessed in both samples using the self-report questionnaire MASI-R, which is the Maugeri Stress Index short form.RESULTS:
Workers who perceived exposure to mobbing scored significantly lower compared to the control group in the four MASI-R scales (p < 0.001) and in the two visual analogue scales measuring job satisfaction (p < 0.001) and life satisfaction (p < 0.001). Further analyses have identified the items which significant discriminate between the two groups of workers.CONCLUSIONS:
These findings show a good discriminant validity of the MASI-R questionnaire workers who perceived exposure to workplace mobbing reveal higher work stress levels compared to the control group in all aspects measured.
