City bus drivers suffer higher health risks, striking levels ofabsenteeism and medical disability that may be related to occupational stress.Job stress not only causes the illness of drivers but also generates low servicequality to their customers. According to related literature and interviews withthe drivers and managers, we formulated a conceptual framework to analyze jobstress of bus drivers. It includes 9 stressors, 7 responses or results ofstress, and 10 moderators. An appropriate inventory is then developed to measurejob stress among bus drivers.
