Abstract: Abstract Based on the transactional process theory, this study attempts to empirically validate Linden et al.’s job anxiety scale among blue-collar workers during the COVID-19 period. We investigated the psychometric properties of the original five-dimensional scale among blue-collar workers employed in six Indian manufacturing industries (N = 943). For criterion validity, the correlation among each dimension of job anxiety was examined with the job burnout and workplace ostracism scale. Our findings reveal that in the Indian blue-collar worker context, a three-dimensional model of job anxiety comprising stimuli-related, socially related, and health-related stressors receives validation, highlighting a different interpretation of the scale.
