Description
Renzo Bianchi and thirteen co-authors validate in 2026 the Norwegian version of the Occupational Depression Inventory, a questionnaire that ties depressive symptoms to work itself. Standard depression scales ignore what patients blame for their state, yet work-driven depression may need different remedies. Three employee samples, over 1,200 people in all, tested the tool.
The tool behaved as one clean dimension with strong reliability, and its scores ranked workers well. It lined up sensibly with work addiction, sick leave, bullying, and abuse at work, and it strongly predicted intent to quit. Scores held steady across samples, sexes, and ages. About two percent of workers met the bar for work-tied depression, giving employers a clear target for prevention.
