Instructions

Please complete this form to request permission to use the JCQ, JCQ2 (both also known as Karasek Questionnaire), and/or specific approved scales or items from these job content questionnaire instruments.

Permission is activity-specific and valid only for the scope, sample, time period, and conditions described below.

All legal use of data, copyright, and privacy are governed separately under JCQ Center Global license terms and policies.

Form:

    A. Applicant Role (Your role as applicant)

     


    Note: This refers to your role as applicant and contact person, not necessarily the level of the activity or study.


    B. Activity / Study Description and Level

     

    Note: Provide a short description of how you plan to use the JCQ instrument. Specify if this is an academic research project, a public sector or ministry survey, an internal company survey, or consulting for clients. Describe your activity or study. If your project is academically led (PhD, Master, or professional research) but conducted in a company, ministry, or other non-university setting, clearly state this context here. This helps JCQ Center Global correctly assess license scope and fees.

    2. Activity / Study level (select the level that best describes the activity itself)*:
    Note: Select the professional or academic level of the activity itself, which may differ from your personal role.


    C. Sample Size and Use

     

    Note: Enter the total number of questionnaires you plan to distribute, including all copies sent to participants, not only those expected to be completed. Each distribution counts as ‘used’ when first accessed.


    Note: Estimate how many questionnaire you expect to actually use or receive in your activity. This is separate from the numbers of distributed (see C1).


    Note: If the same group receives the instrument multiple times, indicate how many times. This affects licensing calculations.

    4. Sector / type of use*:
    Note: Select the sector where the JCQ will be administered. ‘Academic research only’ applies solely to projects conducted within universities or research institutions. If your academically led project takes place in a company or governmental organization, select the corresponding sector here and describe the academic context in Activity / Study Description.


    D. Instrument Requested

     
    1. Which instrument do you request permission to use?
    Note: Select which instrument(s) you want to use.

    2. Do you plan to reproduce JCQ items or scales (e.g., in another questionnaire, or products/services etcetera)?*:


    Note: Indicate whether the instrument’s items will only be used for academic reporting, or if you plan to reproduce them in other materials.


    F. Language Version

     

    Note: Specify the language version(s) you require for your study.


    G. Distribution Method
