This study aims to uncover the relationship between seven stress factors of the SVNBJSQ (Short Version-New Brief Job Stress Questionnaire) Indonesian version and job stress among employees in Greater Jakarta and Bandung. Given the high rates of stress-related health issues like depression and anxiety, understanding job stress determinants is crucial. This research addresses significant gaps in national surveys that fail to classify stress levels or explore specific stress factors impacting employees in these regions. The research methodology included surveying 500 respondents from Greater Jakarta and Bandung using the SV-NBJSQ Indonesian version. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to validate the relationships between the stress factors and job stress. Findings revealed that Depression Symptoms have the most significant positive correlation with job stress, followed by Physical Reactions, Anxiety Symptoms, and Fatigue Symptoms. Conversely, Compatibility with Task/Work showed a negative correlation, indicating that better job fit reduces stress levels. Anger Symptoms and Work Demand were not significant predictors of job stress. The Stress Index was calculated using the Neumann Interval Scale Range, classifying stress levels from the collected data. This research contributes to the scientific understanding of occupational stress by providing an objective model for stress level classification and highlighting the predominant role of depression in job stress. The SV-NBJSQ Indonesian version proved reliable for assessing job stress in Indonesian employees, with an R² score of 0.866, confirming its validity. These results underscore the importance of targeted mental health interventions in the workplace. By implementing health-promoting leadership and other supportive measures, organizations can improve employee well-being and productivity.
