The WPS is a 13-item self-report scale that assesses workplace panic anxiety and avoidance behaviors [28, 29]. The workplace panic anxiety subscale assesses physical panic-like reactions when individuals think about the workplace while workplace avoidance behavior assesses avoidance behavior that individuals show towards the workplace. The items (e.g., “When thinking about my workplace, everything in my body is tense”) are rated on a five-point scale from 0 (absolutely disagree) to 4 (absolutely agree) with total scores ranging from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate higher levels of workplace phobia. The reliability of the scale in the present study was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha = .938).
