In this paper we are reviewing the main techniques to assess psychosocial factors within work context. First of all, we review what psychosocial factors stand for, specially, for those entities devoted to the protection and health of workers; further on, we explain the models from which, these risks and their relation with disease have more frequently been investigated: demand-control Model (Karasek, 1979; Karasek & Theorell, 1990) and effort-reward imbalance Model (Siegrist, 1996, 1998). To end with, we fully explain the main techniques used in work risk prevention in order to assess these factors, as well as the effort we are making from the Laboratory of Work Psychology and Security Studies of the Universidad Complutense of Madrid, UCM, to create and validate a questionnaire on psychosocial factors within work context: Decore Multidimensional Questionnaire (3).
