The starting point for managing pressure in the workplace is a well structured investigation to give a clear understanding of the size and nature of any problems that may exist. The PMI is a self- report measure designed to provide a comprehensive, compact measure of occupational stress, wellbeing and coping mechanisms for occupational stress. The PMI gathers information on the sources, outcomes and behavioural and coping strategies used to manage pressures in the workplace.

Sources of Pressure These scales assess the sources of pressure individuals perceive to be prevalent.

Individual Differences These scales measure individual differences in how people respond to stress and their coping strategies.

Outcome of Pressure/Effects These scales assess the impact that pressure has on various organisational and personal dimensions.
