The JCQ 2.0 Dialogue Materials

NOTE: Please Begin by Reading "JCQ Version 2.0" on this Website

A Possible Design Example for the JCQ 2.0 (Robert Karasek, Oct., 2004) was presented on the JCQ Center website (http://www.jcqcenter.org). These materials have been prepared for the on-going discussion on the JCQ 2.0 development among the international JCQ User Groups and particularly for the coming JCQ workshop participants in March, 2005. Recent summaries of discussions within the three JCQ subcommittees (Control, Demands, and Support) are presented here with detailed possible items. In recent weeks a major opportunity (a Korean pilot study for the JCQ 2.0) was presented to the JCQ Center , which "speeds up" our design process. Therefore, some materials have been developed for the study as well.

5. Some thoughts about how the new JCQ could be supported by an extended theoretical framework - the Stress- Dise q uilibrium Theory, and also included in JCQ 2 S-D model formulation.

6 . Some suggestions on Dutch data bases, which could be used to test expanded scales ar evaluated in Houtman : Comment on Data Bases.
