I am conducting a research regarding job stress and job satisfaction for the completion of my final year project. For your information, I utilize Occupational Stress Inventory Revised Edition (OSI-R) which was developed by Osipow in 1998 as the instrument for job stress. There are three dimensions in OSI-R which are Occupational Roles Questionnaire (ORQ), Personal Strain Questionnaire (PSQ), and the Personal Resources Questionnaire (PRQ). For my research, I only use ORQ. The scales that include in ORQ are Role Overload (RO), Role Insufficiency (RI), Role Ambiguity (RA), Role Boundary (RB), Responsibility (R), and Physical Environment (PE). The ORQ consists of 60 items as each of the scale comprised of ten items. Each of the items is range by using 5 point Likert scale. The scale is from 1 to 5 which represent rarely or never, occasionally, usually, often, and most of the time. According to the manual, high T score indicates significant levels of job stress. Below is the T score and its indication on the level of job stress. T score Level of job stress ?70 Maladaptive 60 to 69 Mild maladaptive 40 to 59 Normal level <40 Absence of job stress According to the manual, the mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 10. Curently, I already collect the respondent data and key in in SPSS. However, the problem that I face now is difficulty in analyze the data. I dont know how to set the T-score (e.g 70 indicates maladaptive stress) in SPSS. I really hope that you can guide me on how to set that in spss. I really need your help very much and I sincerely appreciate your help. I would like to say thousand of thanks to you at here. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
