    Dear Scholars,

     

    I am currently working on my dissertation which includes the challenge- hindrance stressor framework. I am looking for measures which could tap the perceptions of challenge stressors and hindrance stressors. I will really appreciate your inputs.

     

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Ashwini,

    See paper below by Bakker & Sanz-Vergel (2013) who have developed a measure of challenge and hindrance demands. 

    Bakker, A. B., & Sanz-Vergel, A. I. (2013). Weekly Work engagement and Flourishing: The Role of Hindrance and Challenge Job Demands. Journal of Vocational Behavior.

    Also, check out Arnold Bakker's website for other research papers on hindrance and challenge demands.

    Hope this is useful.

    We employed a measure from  Cavanaugh et al. (2000) in a project where my co-authors conducted the survey:

     

    Cavanaugh, M. A., Boswell, W. R., Roehling, M. V., & Boudreau, J. W. (2000). An empirical examination of self-reported work stress among US managers. Journal of Applied Psychology, 85(1), 65.

    Dear Ashwini,
    I used my own three item measure of challenge appraisal in this paper:

    Ohly, S., & Fritz, C. 2010. Work characteristics, challenge appraisal, creativity and proactive behavior: A multi-level study. Journal of Organizational Behavior, 31: 543-565.

    However, there is also a validated instrument that you might want to look at:

    Gaab, J., Rohleder, N., Nater, U., & Ehlert, U. 2005. Psychological determinants of the cortisol stress response: the role of anticipatory cognitive appraisal. Psychoneuroendocrinology, 30(6): 599-610.

    Dear Ashwini,

    We used a combination of well-estblished scales to tap into job hindrances and job challenges in the following paper. You can find the paper by clicking on the reference.
    Van den Broeck, A., De Cuyper, N., De Witte, H., & Vansteenkiste, M., (2010). Not all Job Demands are Created Equal: Differentiating Job Hindrances and Job Challenges in the Job Demands-Resources Model. European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology,19, 735-759.

    All the best,
    Anja

    Dear Ashwini,

     

    My coauthors and I measured challenge and hindrance stressors in a forthcoming paper and provided all items in the methods section. You can download it from the Academy website.
