• Demands: Are employees able to cope with the demands of their job.
• Control: Do employees feel involved in how decisions are made?
• Support: Do employees feel valued?
• Relationships: Have employees experienced unacceptable behaviour at work?
• Role: Do employees understand their roles and responsibilities?
• Change: Do employees think their organisation handles change well?
