Questionnaire on Behavior and Experience Related to Work, AVEM Test

Work-Related Behavior and Experience Patterns Questionnaire (AVEM) Test

This self-report measure evaluates patterns of work-related behavior and subjective experience in occupational contexts. The Work-Related Behavior and Experience Patterns Questionnaire (AVEM) is intended to characterize how individuals engage with job demands, manage stress, and relate emotionally to their work.

The instrument comprises 66 items and typically requires about 13 minutes to complete. Responses are used to profile common behavior and experience patterns relevant to occupational functioning, which may inform discussions of work style, coping approaches, and potential risk for stress-related difficulties.

In organizational and applied settings, the Work-Related Behavior and Experience Patterns Questionnaire (AVEM) may be used as part of broader assessment for employee development, consultation, or research, and should be interpreted in conjunction with additional clinical or contextual information.
