Role Conflict and Role Ambiguity: Integration of the Literature and Directions for Future Research
Abstract
Although research on role conflict and ambiguity has been extensive, there has been only moderate consistency in the focus and results of the research, while several areas of role conflict and ambiguity research are still relatively unexamined. This paper suggests that a framework for organizing the recent research may assist in consolidating the field and providing an understanding of where we are, what is left to be done and, therefore, direction for future role conflict and ambiguity research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
