Teacher Role Stress, higher order needs and work
2000Co-Authors: Sherry A. WoosleyAbstract:Educational researchers have long been concerned with Role Stress among teachers. In education, research on the consequences of such Role Stress for teachers has largely concerned outcomes valued by individuals such as job satisfaction and reduced Stress. Less research has focused on examining the effects of Role Stress on outcomes valued by the organization, such as employee commitment and employee retention. In examining the Role Stress-outcome relationship, research suggests the importance of taking into consideration the work orientations of individuals as possible moderators of the Role Stress-outcome relationship. Using a sample of elementary and secondary teachers, this study empirically examined, first whether three Role Stresses - Role ambiguity, Role conflict, and Role overload - are related to two individually and two organizationally valued states and second, whether teachers' higher-order need strength moderates these Role Stress-outcome relationships. The study found that Role Stresses relate to individually- and organizationally-valued outcomes among both elementary and secondary teachers.

do organizational practices matter in Role Stress processes a study of direct and moderating effects for marketing oriented boundary spanners
ERIM Top-Core Articles, 1996Co-Authors: Jagdip Singh, Willem Verbeke, Gary K RhoadsAbstract:textabstractPrevious research and meta-analyses suggest that the influence of organizational variables on boundary Role Stress processes is weak and marginal. Using the emerging work in organizational practices and configurations, the authors reexamine this relationship by addressing three critical gaps: (1) conceptualizing organizational environment as a multidimensonal practices construct, (2) operationatizing the organizational environment as configurations or combinations of practices dimensions, and (3) testing for direct and moderating hypotheses. The results reveal that organizational practices matter significantly in boundary Role Stress processes. The findings show that procedural environments are dysfunctional because they engender higher levels of Role Stressors, reduce performance, and negatively affect the psychological well-being of boundary spanners. In contrast, the achievement and affective-oriented environments involve distinct trade-offs, because none is clearly superior. The authors discuss the theoretical implications for further research and provide recommendations for managerial practice.

Role Stress and entrepreneurship research
International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal, 2009Co-Authors: Joakim Wincent, Daniel ÖrtqvistAbstract:Entrepreneurship as a domain of research has grown by benefiting from more established disciplines. However, a commonality in the early stages of applying established theories to entrepreneurship is the lack of grounded research frameworks. This paper reviews literature on Role Stress and develops a conceptual framework that illustrates how this construct can serve entrepreneurship research. Based on a review of psychological and sociological literature, the paper proposes a model of antecedents and consequences to entrepreneur Role Stress. Suggestions for future research and practical implications are also presented.

Analyzing the structure of entrepreneur Role Stress
Journal of Business and Entrepreneurship, 2006Co-Authors: Joakim Wincent, Daniel ÖrtqvistAbstract:ABSTRACT Role Stress has been studied in business administration and social psychology, with limited attention to the entrepreneurial context. This paper defines entrepreneur Role Stress and empirically examines the structure of the construct and its properties through a survey of 282 Swedish entrepreneurs. Factor analysis reveals that entrepreneur Role Stress is consistent with three proposed facets: Role conflict, Role ambiguity, and Role overload. Further, homogeneity tests indicate that the structure of Role Stress is not significantly different between subgroups of entrepreneurs (i.e., serial vs. novice entrepreneurs, push vs. pull entrepreneurs), implying the usability of the Role Stress construct among entrepreneurs. Implications for research and practice are discussed. INTRODUCTION What people do on the job is related to a Role that they perform at their workplace (Gross, Mason, & McEachern, 1958; Jackson & Schuler, 1985; Kahn, Wolfe, Quinn, Snoek, & Rosenthal, 1964). This extends to entrepreneurs, who also have a Role to perform. The Role of the entrepreneur is to combine resources to create profit from a market opportunity-a Role that attempts to intrude predefined systems and structures for value creation (Kirzner, 1979; Schumpeter, 1936; Shane & Venkataraman, 2000). To gain acceptance and legitimacy in the marketplace, entrepreneurs create change for other businesses when managing their new ventures. The Role may facilitate the improvement of wealth and benefits, but it is predominately concerned with creating value from the organization of resources-something that must be successfully accomplished to fulfil the entrepreneurial Role. When performing the Role well, entrepreneurs cope well with disequilibrium, whether passive (Kirzner, 1979) or active (Schumpeter, 1936). A good example of "well performing" entrepreneurs is described by Mitton (1989): "Entrepreneurs can see the forest as well as the trees. They see the total scene as well as its parts and how the parts affect each other. They put environment, people, events, information, and technology into understandable perspective. They understand the policies, procedures and rules of a system...they can work on several fronts simultaneously and keep a lot of irons in the fire" (p. 11). The foregoing is an ideal situation for entrepreneurs, and most entrepreneurs will not perform their Role with such ease or in environments where this is possible (i.e., without challenges and impediments). Given the nature of their Role as described earlier, entrepreneurs have to cope with potential Role conflicts, employ a universal perspective for avoiding Role ambiguities, and deal with Role overloads when systems intrude on structures designed to create value. As such, Stress reactions and insufficiencies are an inherent part of the entrepreneurial Role. Despite the intrinsic relationship between Role Stress and entrepreneurship, the two have received limited research attention. Paradoxically, the extant literature on Role Stress is extensive and ranges across all types of work environments (Fisher & Gittelson, 1983; Jackson & Schuler, 1985; Van Sell, Brief, & Schuler, 1981) with the exception of the entrepreneurial context. Focus on Role Stress vis-a-vis entrepreneurship is an underrepresented area of study. To our knowledge, only Harris, Saltstone, and Fraboni (1999) have tested a job Stress scale (similar to but distinct from Role Stress) on a sample of entrepreneurs, while Buttner (1992) compared a sample of entrepreneurs to managers in how they differed in terms of Stress, job satisfaction, and health problems. Other scholars have referred to the general concept of Stress in the entrepreneurial context, but not as a central part of their studies (e.g., Ardichvili, 2001; Baucus & Human, 1994; Bird, 1992; Boyd & Vozikis, 1994; Gibb, 1994; Jelinek & Litterer, 1995; Morris & Davis, 1994; Wolfe, 2004). …

Occupational Role Stress is associated with higher cortisol reactivity to acute Stress.
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2013Co-Authors: Petra H Wirtz, Maria U. Kottwitz, Roberto La Marca, Ulrike Ehlert, Norbert K. SemmerAbstract:We investigated whether occupational Role Stress is associated with differential levels of the Stress hormone cortisol in response to acute psychosocial Stress. Forty-three medication-free nonsmoking men aged between 22 and 65 years (mean ± SEM: 44.5 ± 2) underwent an acute standardized psychosocial Stress task combining public speaking and mental arithmetic in front of an audience. We assessed occupational Role Stress in terms of Role conflict and Role ambiguity (combined into a measure of Role uncertainty) as well as further work characteristics and psychological control variables including time pressure, overcommitment, perfectionism, and Stress appraisal. Moreover, we repeatedly measured salivary cortisol and blood pressure levels before and after Stress exposure, and several times up to 60 min thereafter. Higher Role uncertainty was associated with a more pronounced cortisol Stress reactivity (p = .016), even when controlling for the full set of potential confounders (p < .001). Blood pressure Stress reactivity was not associated with Role uncertainty. Our findings suggest that occupational Role Stress in terms of Role uncertainty acts as a background Stressor that is associated with increased HPA-axis reactivity to acute Stress. This finding may represent a potential mechanism regarding how occupational Role Stress may precipitate adverse health outcomes.
