Role Behaviors

ABSTRACTAuthoritarian leaders make unilateral decisions and prevail over subordinates. Such leadership, as a style of exercising formal authority and position power, may inhibit employees’ extra-role behaviors in the hierarchical role structure. We explore employees’ role perceptions to better understand how supervisors’ authoritarian leadership decreases extra-role behaviors (OCBs). Authoritarian behavior is expected to generate subordinate perceptions of role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload, with consequent negative effects on OCB. Hypotheses are tested using data from 613 subordinate – supervisor dyads. Empirical results indicate that authoritarian leadership increases subordinate role conflict and overload which then decreases OCB. Authoritarian behavior also increases role ambiguity, but role ambiguity is not associated with OCB. The article concludes with research suggestions and practical implications.

Organizational support to employees is an important because can mitigate the negative effects of role stress. The negative effects of the role stress among which reduce job satisfaction, job performance and high turnover intention. Employees who feel themselves noticed by the company will be comfortable in the work so that the performance becomes better. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of perceived organizational support (POS) to the role stress (role ambiguity, role conflict and role overload) and job outcomes (job satisfaction, job performance and turnover intention). In addition, this study also want investigates the influence of role stress (role ambiguity, role conflictand role overload) to job outcomes (job satisfaction, job performance and turnover intention). This study used a sample of management accountants and staff managementaccountants at companies in the Surabaya. The number of samples in this study were 111 respondents. Testing the hypothesis in this study using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with an alternative method of Partial Least Square (PLS) using software WarpPLS 3.0. Results of this study found the negative influence of perceived organizational support(POS) to the role ambiguity and role conflict but did not find the effect of POS on role overload. Other findings in this study is the role ambiguity and role conflict negative effect on job satisfaction, job performance and a positive effect on turnover intention. But different things found on role overload to job satisfaction, job performance, and turnover intention which did not reveal any influence.

The Impact

Owing to the emotionally demanding work context, emotional exhaustion is conceived as a general concern in special education. In a group of 216 special education teachers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this research has investigated the direct effect of role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload on teacher’s emotional exhaustion. Participants completed the scales of emotional exhaustion, role conflict, role Ambiguity, role overload, affective engagement, and teaching satisfaction. Structural Equation Modelling Analysis (SEM) has been adopted for testing the hypotheses of this research. Results indicate that role overload had a positive significant direct impact on emotional exhaustion. Similarly, role conflict shows a positive significant direct impact on emotional exhaustion, whereas role ambiguity has a negligible direct impact on emotional exhaustion. The estimation of the indirect path between measurements of role stressors and emotional exhaustion through teaching contentment reveals that teaching contentment mediates the effect of role conflict on emotional exhaustion. The research suggests that there is no intervention effect of teaching contentment on the impact of role overload on emotional exhaustion and the impact of role overload and role conflict on emotional exhaustion is mediated by affective engagement. The research recommends further studies to explore the direct and indirect effect of role ambiguity on emotional exhaustion.

<p>The primary function of nurses in inpatient services is to provide optimal services for patients with serious illnesses.Therefore, nurses’ job satisfaction should not be taken for granted. The role overload can influence job satisfaction at workplaces. The role overloaand job stress have negative effect. However, the nurses can still have job satisfaction, if the role overload is at low level. The other factor that influences job satisfaction is role ambiguity. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that determine job satisfaction of nurses, work at the hospital and the job stress impacts on job satisfaction. The samples of this study were 170 respondents. This study applied quantitative design with path analysis. The role overload and job stress have negative and significant influence on job satisfaction. The role overload and role ambiguity have a positive and significant impact on job stress. The role ambiguity does not influence job satisfaction. Job stress mediates the role ambiguity to job satisfaction. The next research can develop variables that can mediate the influence of role ambiguity and role conflict on job satisfaction, for example, burnout and performance variables.</p>

Reduced Audit Quality is an act of decreasing audit quality that is considered to be a deliberate practice because it reduces the quality of audit work and thereby increasing the possibility of opinion on inappropriate financial statements. Factors affecting reduced audit quality actions arise due to the presence of role conflict, role ambiguity and role overload. This study was conducted to find out the effect of role conflict, role ambiguity, and role overload on reduced audit quality. The sampling was conducted using purposive sampling technique. The number of samples obtained was 44 samples. Data were collected using a questionnaire method via Google Forms on auditors working at public accounting firms in the city of Surabaya and Sidoarjo. Data analysis technique used for hypothesis testing was multiple linear regression analysis. The results of hypothesis testing show that role conflict and role ambiguity have no significant effect on reduced audit quality, but role overload has a significant effect on reduced audit quality.

Literature suggests that job satisfaction and health are related to each other in a synergic way. However, this might not always be the case, and they may present misaligned relationships. Considering job satisfaction and mental health as indicators of wellbeing at work, we aim to identify four patterns (i.e., satisfied-healthy, unsatisfied-unhealthy, satisfied-unhealthy, and unsatisfied-healthy) and some of their antecedents. In a sample of 783 young Spanish employees, a two-step cluster analysis procedure showed that the unsatisfied-unhealthy pattern was the most frequent (33%), followed by unsatisfied-healthy (26.6%), satisfied-unhealthy (24.8%) and, finally, the satisfied-healthy pattern (14.3%). Moreover, as hypothesized, discriminant analysis suggests that higher levels of job importance and lower levels of role ambiguity mainly differentiate the satisfied-healthy pattern, whereas overqualification and role overload differentiate, respectively, the unsatisfied-healthy and satisfied-unhealthy patterns. Contrary to our expectations, role conflict also characterizes the satisfied-unhealthy pattern. We discuss the practical and theoretical implications of these findings.

Abstract. To address the inconsistencies regarding the effects of incivility on employee productivity and career satisfaction, this study adopted a multilevel approach to examine the cross-level moderating effect of department-level incivility on the negative impact of individual-level incivility. We tested our hypotheses using data from 717 faculty nested within 79 departments at a southwestern university. The hierarchical linear modeling results supported that individual-level incivility negatively related to career satisfaction but not productivity. Further, department-level incivility moderated the negative effects of individual-level incivility such that the negative effects of individual-level incivility on career satisfaction and productivity were reduced when most people in the department experienced incivility or when individuals were not singled out for being mistreated. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The purpose of this study were to investigate the influence of role stressors (role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload) to the reduced audit quality practices (RAQP) were tested both directly and indirectly through the variable job burnout. Respondents in this study are auditors who working in 15 Public Accounting Firms at Sulawesi, Papua, and Maluku. Data collection procedures in the study were taken directly (Administered Personality Questionnaires) in Public Accounting Firm located in Makassar, while the public accounting firm which the outside of Makassar were spread by sending questionnaires (Mail Questionnaires). Data were analyzed using the path analysis. The results of this study indicate that role stressors (role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload) have a positive and significant effect on job burnout and also job burnout has a positive and significant effect on reduced audit quality practices (RAQP). The direct influence of role stressors (role ambiguity, role conflict, and role overload) have a positive but not high enough to have a strong influence on reduced audit quality practices (RAQP). Implications practice of this research are as learning profession Public Accountants and auditors to take preventive actions and improvements on stress due to role stressors.

Administrator Stress

Many of the recent studies on school administrator stress and burnout have failed to investigate the connection between stress and burnout with role conditions such as role conflict and role ambiguity. The present study assessed the association of role conflict and ambiguity with the administrative stress cycle. Seventy-four percent of the 1000 principals and superintendent completed the Administrator Work Inventory which consisted of the Administrator Stress Index, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Role Questionnaire in addition to demographic and organizational questions. The results of the multiple correlations between the variables resulted in the following conclusions: (1) Role conflict and ambiguity contributes specifically to conflict-mediating stress; (2) Burnout in administration is associated closely with role structure of administrative positions; and (3) Administrators must manage the role conflict and ambiguity in order to filter some of the stress and emotional exhaustion from their occupations. Implications for training institutions were also drawn from the study.
