Organizational role stress scale

Introduction • Udai Pareek (1983) developed and standardised the Organisational Role Stress Scale(ORS Scale) to measure the role stresses. • He noted that until recently researches were done on three role stresses - namely, role ambiguity, role overload and role conflict. • However, he found many other role stresses in organizations.

ORS – ORGANISATIONAL ROLE STRESS • Different types of Role stresses identified by Udai Pareek (1993) are : • Self role distance • Inter-role distance • Role stagnation • Role isolation • Role ambiguity • Role expectation conflict • Role overload role erosion • Resource inadequacy & • Personal inadequacy

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 instruction on ors scale • 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.
