Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara role stressor yang terdiri atas role ambiguity dan role conflict, serta komitmen organisasional dengan turnover, mengingat keterkaitan antara vaiabel-variabel tersebut masih menunjukkan inkonsistensi hasil-hasil penelitian. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua jenis role stressor tersebut merupakan prediktor yang signifikan bagi turnover, namun berbagai penelitian lainnya menunjukkan bahwa role stressor dan komitmen organisasional bukan merupakan prediktor yang signifikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan 61 responden dari satu perusahaan yang berlokasi di dua kota. Mengingat penelitian ini bersifat cross-section, maka turnover intention digunakan sebagai proksi dari turnover. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis jalur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan role ambiguity dan role conflict merupakan prediktor yang signifikan bagi komitmen organisasional. Namun dari kedua jenis role stressor tersebut, hanya role conflict yang memiliki hubungan negatif dengan turnover intention. Terakhir, temuan menunjukkan bahwa komitmen organisasional merupakan prediktor penting bagi turnover intention. Bagian akhir paper ini menyajikan beberapa keterbatasan.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of a workplace bullying intervention based on the training of middle managers regarding bullying awareness, the consequences of bullying, strategies in conflict resolution and mediation/negotiation abilities. Overall, 142 randomly selected middle managers participated in the study. First, participants completed an information record and two scales assessing bullying strategies, role conflict and role ambiguity. The last two scales were completed again in a second phase three months after the intervention had finished. The intervention produced a decrease in the following bullying strategies: effects on self-expression and communication, effects on personal reputation and effects on occupational situation and quality of life, with all of the mentioned bullying strategies being suffered by part of the sample. In addition, the conflict role decreased in the group which received the intervention. Moreover, the decrease in the effects of the bullying strategy effects on occupational situation and quality of life was especially important in managers with higher responsibilities within the workplace. Results are discussed in the framework that (1) leadership practices and, more specifically, conflict resolution skills are strongly responsible for bullying at work; and (2) the importance of intervening in the early stages of the bullying process as a key element in the correction, but also as a potential prevention element, of bullying in the workplace.

This phenomenological study seeks to better understand the role of the referee in the Olympic sporting structure and to deconstruct the apparent dichotomies that exist within this role. Eleven rugby sevens referees each completed a pre and post interview for a total of twenty-two interviews. From the data, four sources of role ambiguity or conflict emerged; (1) remaining unnoticed vs. media exposure; (2) the team vs. individualistic nature of officiating; (3) being a judge vs. being an athlete, and (4) amateurism vs. professionalism. This study discusses how these dichotomies highlight the major sources of role ambiguity and role conflict for rugby sevens officials within the larger Olympic context. Implications regarding increased role clarity, reduced role strain, and referee management are discussed.
