  • betwixt and between Role conflict Role Ambiguity and Role definition in project based dual leadership structures
    Human Relations, 2017
    Co-Authors: Joris J Ebbers, Nachoem M Wijnberg
    Abstract:

    Project-based organizations in the film industry usually have a dual-leadership structure, based on a division of tasks between the dual leaders – the director and the producer – in which the former is predominantly responsible for the artistic and the latter for the commercial aspects of the film. These organizations also have a Role hierarchically below and between the dual leaders: the 1st assistant director. This organizational constellation is likely to lead to Role conflict and Role Ambiguity experienced by the person occupying that particular Role. Although prior studies found negative effects of Role conflict and Role Ambiguity, this study shows they can also have beneficial effects because they create space for defining the Role expansively that, in turn, can be facilitated by the dual leaders defining their own Roles more narrowly. In a more general sense, this study also shows the usefulness of analyzing the antecedents and consequences of Roles, Role definition, and Role crafting in connection...

  • gender age and tenure as moderators of work related stressors relationships with job performance a meta analysis
    Human Relations, 2008
    Co-Authors: Arie Shirom, Yitzhak Fried, Simona Gilboa, Cary L Cooper
    Abstract:

    We investigated the extent to which three socio-demographic variables, employee gender, age, and tenure, moderated the meta-correlations of Role conflict and Role Ambiguity with job performance. To test these moderating effects, we quantitatively synthesized 30 independent studies (total N = 7700). No moderating effects were found for gender and tenure. Controlling for employee tenure and gender, we found that employee mean age had a moderating effect on the Role Ambiguity-performance correlation, with negative correlations tending to decrease with increasing age. Moreover, two significant two-way interactions were found between the moderators. As the percentage of women in the studies and the respondents' mean age simultaneously increased, and as the mean sample tenure and age of the respondents in the studies simultaneously increased, there was a reduction in the negative relationship between Role Ambiguity and performance. The implications of these results for future research are discussed.

  • a meta analysis of work demand stressors and job performance examining main and moderating effects
    Personnel Psychology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Simona Gilboa, Yitzhak Fried, Arie Shirom, Cary L Cooper
    Abstract:

    We quantitatively integrated 169 samples (N= 35,265 employees) that have been used to investigate the relationships of the following 7 work-related stressors with job performance: Role Ambiguity, Role conflict, Role overload, job insecurity, work–family conflict, environmental uncertainty, and situational constraints. Overall, we obtained a negative mean correlation between each job performance measure and each stressor included in our analyses. As hypothesized, Role Ambiguity and situational constraints were most strongly negatively related to performance, relative to the other work-related stressors. Analysis of moderators revealed that (a) the negative correlation of Role overload and performance was higher among managers relative to nonmanagers; (b) publication year moderated the relation of Role Ambiguity and Role overload with performance, although in opposite directions; (c) the correlations obtained for published versus unpublished studies were not significantly different; and (d) using the Rizzo et al. scale of Role Ambiguity and Role conflict decreased the magnitude of the correlations of these stressors with performance, relative to other scales. Theoretical contributions, future research directions, and practical implications are discussed.
