TL;DR
Comparing the psychometric adequacy of the demand-control-support and the effort–reward imbalance questionnaires in relation to their respective theoretical models among workers within the same psychosocial work environment found adequate performance was observed.
Abstract
Strengths and limitations were observed in both the DCS and the ERI scales. The questionnaires could be improved by the revision of some items.
