Role Stress

The document discusses the Organizational Role Stress Scale (ORS Scale), which was developed by Udai Pareek in 1983 to measure different types of role stresses experienced by individuals in organizations. It identifies nine different role stresses: self role distance, inter-role distance, role stagnation, role isolation, role ambiguity, role expectation conflict, role overload, role erosion, and resource and personal inadequacy. The ORS scale contains 50 statements with 5 items for each role stress type, using a 5-point response scale. Scores can range from 0-200 total and 0-20 for each stress dimension, with higher scores indicating greater experienced stress.

ORS Scale
ORS scale was developed by Udai Pareek (1993). The ORS scale contains five items for each Role Stress (a total of 50 statements); it uses a 5 point scale. 1- If you never feel this way. 2- If you occasionally feel this way. 3- If you sometimes feel this way. 4- If you frequently feel this way. 5- If you always feel this way.

The total score of ORS ranges between 0 to 200, and on each Role Stress ranges from 0 to 20. A simple summation of the scores of the subject on each Role Stress would indicate the scores on that dimension. How often you have the feeling expressed in the statement in relation to your role in your organization by putting a circle (O) mark.
