The Job-related Affective Well-being Scale (JAWS) is a scale designed to assess people’s emotional reactions to their job. It asks them to indicate for each of 30 emotions (20 emotions in the short form) how often they have experienced them in the past 30 days. The JAWS should be cited as Van Katwyk, P. T., Fox, S., Spector, P. E., & Kelloway, E. K. (2000). Using the Job-Related Affective Well-Being Scale (JAWS) to investigate affective responses to work stressors. Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 5(2), 219-230. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/1076-8998.5.2.219. For non-workplace use there is the General Affective Well-Being Scale GAWS.
