Name:  In DOCX there are four JEMs describing emotional demands either as independent JEMs describing only emotional demands or as a subgroup in JEMs concerning psychosocial work environment and ergonomic. The four JEMs varies according to type of measure, job title & industry classification system, data source and finally calendar period, see table below. EMO and EMO-SCORE-XMA are based on the same data source, classification system and calendar period. The difference lies in type of measure. Likewise JEMSBBH-88 and JEMSBBH-08 are based on the same data source, type of measure and calendar period but include different job title and industry classification systems.
