The psychosocial work factors framework holds that measurable characteristics of how work is organised — quantitative and emotional demands, influence and control, role clarity, predictability, social support, recognition, and organizational justice — are causes of health outcomes in their own right, independent of individual disposition. Its practical consequence is that the unit of assessment and of intervention is the workplace rather than the worker: a department scoring poorly on demands and control has an organizational problem, not an aggregation of individuals who cope badly.
Framework holding that measurable characteristics of how work is organized — demands, control, support, rewards, predictability, justice, insecurity — shape workers' health, motivation, and performance. It integrates the major work environment theories rather than following one: demand-control-support (Karasek & Theorell), effort-reward imbalance (Siegrist), job demands-resources, work-family conflict, and workplace social capital. Exposure is a property of the work environment, measured as workers' perceptions of current conditions, dimension by dimension, not a trait of the person.

歴史的背景
The field's foundations are Karasek's 1979 demand-control model, which predicted strain from the combination of high demands and low decision latitude, later extended by Johnson and Hall to include social support, and Siegrist's 1996 effort-reward imbalance model. Both were criticised for covering too narrow a slice of working life. The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, developed at Denmark's National Research Centre for the Working Environment and published in its second version in 2005, was designed as a comprehensive, theory-neutral and freely available alternative, and reached its third international version in 2019.
構成概念
量的要求
The mismatch between the volume of work and the time available to perform it — tasks piling up, work left undone, insufficient time. A core demand dimension of the psychosocial work environment (Burr et al., 2019); high scores indicate exposure to work overload.
仕事のペース
The speed the work demands from moment to moment — working very fast and at a high pace throughout the day. Distinct from the volume of work (quantitative demands), it captures sustained work speed as its own exposure (Burr et al., 2019).
感情的要求
The extent to which work places the worker in emotionally disturbing situations or requires dealing with other people's personal problems. An exposure reading characteristic of care, teaching, and service work (Burr et al., 2019).
感情を隠す要求
The requirement to conceal feelings and keep opinions unexpressed at work — staying kind regardless of how one is treated. It names the self-containment load carried by many people-facing roles (Burr et al., 2019).
仕事への影響力
The degree of say a worker has over decisions concerning their own work, including the amount of work and how it is done. A classic buffering resource in the demand-control tradition: the same demands weigh differently with and without it (Karasek & Theorell; Burr et al., 2019).
発展の可能性
Whether the work offers the possibility of learning new things and using one's skills and expertise. A resource dimension of the work environment: work that neither stretches nor draws on the worker is a documented path to disengagement (Burr et al., 2019).
労働時間の管理
The worker's control over the timing of their own work — deciding when to take a break, taking holidays roughly when wanted, leaving the workplace for private business. Small time freedoms measured as a distinct resource dimension (Burr et al., 2019).
仕事の意味
Whether the work is experienced as meaningful and important. One of the strongest sustaining resources a job can offer; its absence makes even light work heavy (Burr et al., 2019).
予測可能性
Whether information arrives when needed — advance notice of important decisions and changes, and all the information required to do the work well. Uncertainty about one's own near future at work is a stressor in its own right (Burr et al., 2019).
承認
Whether one's work is recognized and appreciated by the management. Measured by a single item in the COPSOQ III middle version, it reads whether sustained effort visibly registers above (Burr et al., 2019).
役割明確性
Whether the work has clear objectives, known areas of responsibility, and explicit expectations. High clarity lets energy go to the work itself instead of to decoding what counts (Burr et al., 2019).
役割葛藤
Exposure to contradictory demands at work and to tasks one believes should be done differently. A property of how the role is designed — work that argues with itself (Burr et al., 2019).
不当な業務
The share of work tasks that seem unnecessary to the person performing them. The operational reading of illegitimate tasks — work experienced as an offence to one's professional sense of self (stress-as-offence-to-self tradition; Burr et al., 2019).
リーダーシップの質
How good the immediate superior is at the concrete craft of leading — planning the work, solving conflicts, developing people. Read as a working capability of the leader, not charisma (Burr et al., 2019).
上司からのソーシャルサポート
How often help, support, and a willing ear are available from the immediate superior when needed. A support resource that determines whether difficulties escalate to solutions or accumulate (demand-control-support tradition; Burr et al., 2019).
同僚からのソーシャルサポート
How often help, support, and a willing ear are available from colleagues when needed. One of the classic protective factors in demanding work; without it, individual difficulties are carried alone (Burr et al., 2019).
職場の共同体意識
The atmosphere between colleagues and the feeling of being part of a community at the workplace — the social fabric dimension of the work environment (Burr et al., 2019).
雇用不安
Worry about becoming unemployed and about how difficult it would be to find another job. A documented stressor that acts well before — and whether or not — any job is actually lost (Burr et al., 2019).
労働条件の不安
Worry about unwanted changes to the conditions of the job — being transferred, having the schedule changed, or pay reduced against one's will. Insecurity about the shape of the job, distinct from insecurity about keeping it (Burr et al., 2019).
仕事の質
Satisfaction with the quality of the work performed at one's workplace. Measured by a single item in the COPSOQ III middle version; low scores often mark conditions that force work below one's own standard (Burr et al., 2019).
職務満足
Overall satisfaction with the job — work prospects, pay, and the job as a whole, everything taken into consideration. The summary evaluation that the other work environment dimensions feed (Burr et al., 2019).
ワークライフコンフリクト
Whether work drains so much energy, and takes so much time, that it negatively affects private life. The spillover dimension of the work-family conflict tradition: the job's cost measured where it lands outside work (Burr et al., 2019).
水平的信頼
Whether employees in general trust each other. A workplace social capital dimension: trust between colleagues makes information move and cooperation cheap, and its absence taxes every interaction (Burr et al., 2019).
垂直的信頼
Trust between management and employees, in both directions — whether management trusts the employees to do their work well, whether the employees can trust the information coming from management, and whether views and feelings can be expressed upward (Burr et al., 2019).
組織的公正
Whether conflicts are resolved in a fair way and the work is distributed fairly — the perceived fairness of the organization's procedures, a workplace social capital dimension (Burr et al., 2019).
自己評価健康度
The worker's general rating of their own health, from excellent to poor. A single-item measure with a long epidemiological record as a predictor of health outcomes; in the COPSOQ III it provides individual context for the environmental dimensions (Burr et al., 2019).

この理論に基づくテスト
Brazilian Psychosocial Risk Assessment (COPSOQ II-Br)
The validated Brazilian instrument for psychosocial risks at work — 23 dimensions, each read against published safe/attention/risk bands.
詳しく見る →Psychosocial Work Environment (COPSOQ III)
The international reference questionnaire on psychosocial working conditions — 26 dimensions of your work environment, one 0-100 reading each.
詳しく見る →実践的応用
Psychosocial risk assessment is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions and the COPSOQ is one of the standard instruments used to satisfy it, with national reference values allowing a department to be benchmarked against its sector. Results guide organizational intervention — workload redistribution, clarifying roles, increasing influence over how work is done. In occupational epidemiology the factors predict sickness absence, depression onset and cardiovascular outcomes in prospective cohorts, which is the evidence base underpinning the regulatory requirement.
測定方法
Measured with self-report Likert scales covering multiple independent dimensions, aggregated to the department or organization and compared with national or sector reference values rather than to a cutoff.
批評と制限事項
Nearly all evidence rests on self-reported exposure and self-reported outcome, so common-method variance and reporting bias inflate associations; studies using externally assessed job characteristics find smaller effects. Reverse causation is difficult to exclude, since distressed workers rate their jobs more negatively. The instruments are long, and the short forms lose the dimensional detail that makes results actionable. National reference values are also not directly comparable across countries because of response-style differences, which complicates multinational benchmarking.
