Abstract

This study examines the validity of the general work-stress paradigm as put forth by Frone (Citation1999) for use in studies on alcohol and the workplace. Frone proposed that work alienation be subsumed along with work stress under a general work-stress paradigm to study relationships between work environment and employee alcohol use. Second-order confirmatory factor analysis was applied to test the hypothesis that a general work-stress model would capture several factors of work stress including work alienation. Evidence of the validity of the general work-stress paradigm was provided by a final model in which scale items with low factor loadings were removed.

This study was supported by the Chancellor's Golda Meir Scholarship, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. The authors also would like to thank Dawn Dent for her editorial assistance.
