In Study 1, item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were conducted on data from 343 platform riders (males: 321; females: 22; mean (SD) age: 27.03 (6.67) years) in Guangzhou, China. In Study 2, an additional 391 platform riders (males: 328; females: 63; mean (SD) age: 30.36 (4.49) years) were recruited. This phase involved conducting confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and assessing criterion-related validity by using the Uncertainty Stress Scale (USS-4), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Job Satisfaction Inventory (JSI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: The JUSSPW scale comprises 8 items under a unidimensional structure, covering 4 perspectives: work environment, interpersonal relationships, industry-specific characteristics, and personal development prospects; it explained 71.07% of the total variance. CFA results indicated that this 1-factor model provided a good fit (\u03c72\/df\u2009=\u20092.681, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.066, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.987, Incremental Fit Index (IFI) = 0.987, Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) = 0.964, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.982). This scale also demonstrated good convergent (Average Variance Extracted (AVE) = 0.668, Composite Reliability (CR) = 0.941) and criterion validity (area under the curve\u2009=\u20090.935). The total score of JUSSPW was significantly positively correlated with the USS-4 and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Emotional Exhaustion (MBI-EE) scores, and remarkably negatively correlated with the JSI scores. Cronbach \u03b1 and split-half reliability were .939 and 0.935, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: These results suggest that this scale shows good reliability and validity and can be used as a sound measure to capture platform workers\u2019 job-related uncertainty stress. Limitation and implications are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/joccuh\/uiae074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,10]],"date-time":"2024-12-10T13:18:24Z","timestamp":1733836704000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Development of the Job-Related Uncertainty Stress Scale for Platform Workers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Yonglin","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology , Shenzhen University, Nanhai Avenue 3688, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francis","family":"Cheung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology , Lingnan University, 8 Castle Peak Road, Tuen Mun,","place":["Hong Kong"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongchen","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology , Shenzhen University, Nanhai Avenue 3688, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9408-4993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heng","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology , Shenzhen University, Nanhai Avenue 3688, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology , Shenzhen University, Nanhai Avenue 3688, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology , Shenzhen University, Nanhai Avenue 3688, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060, China"},{"name":"The Shenzhen Humanities & Social Sciences Key Research Bases of the Center for Mental Health , Shenzhen University, Nanhai Avenue 3688, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518060,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025011914355060100_ref1","volume-title":"OECD Economics Department Working Paper No. 1550","author":"Schwellnus","year":"2019"},{"issue":"1","key":"2025011914355060100_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"273","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-soc-121919-054857","article-title":"What do platforms do?
