<span>The relationship between job-related self-esteem, role ambiguity, role conflict, and job satisfaction for a national sample (n=216) of certified public accountants (CPAs) was examined. Job-related self-esteem is concerned with the evaluation that the individual makes regarding the influence of the individuals job on how they view themselves. The Rosenberg (1965) global self-esteem scale was modified to reflect job-related aspects. Linear structural relations (LISREL) was used to examine the relationships between job-related self-esteem, role ambiguity, role conflict, and job satisfaction. Job-related self-esteem was found to not be directly related to job satisfaction with role ambiguity and role conflict were controlled for. Job-related self-esteem was found to be an independent predictor of role ambiguity and role conflict.</span>

Abstract. Background: Self-esteem is a major contributor to risk for repeated suicide attempts. Prior research has shown that awareness of stigma is associated with reduced self-esteem among people with mental illness. No prior studies have examined the association between self-esteem and stereotype awareness among individuals with past suicide attempts. Aims: To understand the relationship between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among young adults who have and have not attempted suicide. Method: Computerized surveys were administered to college students (N = 637). Linear regression analyses were used to test associations between self-esteem and stereotype awareness, attempt history, and their interaction. Results: There was a significant stereotype awareness by attempt interaction (β = –.74, p = .006) in the regression analysis. The interaction was explained by a stronger negative association between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among individuals with past suicide attempts (β = –.50, p = .013) compared with those without attempts (β = –.09, p = .037). Conclusion: Stigma is associated with lower self-esteem within this high-functioning sample of young adults with histories of suicide attempts. Alleviating the impact of stigma at the individual (clinical) or community (public health) levels may improve self-esteem among this high-risk population, which could potentially influence subsequent suicide risk.

This study investigates the relationship between organizational commitment and workplace stressors, such as role ambiguity, role conflict, work-family conflict, and organizational injustice. A data of 150 respondents have been collected from the educational sector from university teachers of Faisalabad and analyzed through (SEM), using the least-squares method. The study included Pearson chi-square, correlation, and regression to verify determine how well theoretical distributions fit the empirical distributions. The study findings show the relationship between work-family conflict with organizational commitment, and the work-family conflict has a significant negative relationship with organizational commitment. The lack of commitment of teachers is due to their family responsibilities. The second purpose was to check the association between role ambiguity conflict and organizational commitment. Ambiguity/role conflict and organizational commitment have significant relations. Conflicts and ambiguity in the roles make them struggle to clear their role and prove themselves to the organization, which shows significant relation.

Accommodation businesses are stressful workplaces due to their dynamic and demanding work environment. Role ambiguity and role conflict are major stress factors for hotel employees, causing low levels of satisfaction and performance and high levels of turnover. The main purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between role conflict, role ambiguity, and job performance. The data was collected through fully structured questionnaires from employees working in 3, 4 and 5 star hotels in Alanya, one of the leading tourism destinations in Turkey. The data was analyzed via structural equation modeling. The results revealed that both role conflict and role ambiguity have direct negative influences on job performance and job satisfaction for hotel employees. Moreover, it was also proved that job satisfaction mediates the effect of role conflict and role ambiguity on job performance. In line with the findings, theoretical and managerial implications, contributions, limitations, and future research directions were discussed. It was implied that role stress factors must be addressed seriously by hotel managers in order to increase job performance.

This research aims to investigate empirically the influence of pay satisfaction, role conflict and role ambiguity on auditor turnover intention, which are mediated by job satisfaction. A number of 168 auditors who work for Public Accounting Firms in East Java participated in this research. The data is analyzed using PLS (Partial Least Squares). The result shows that pay satisfaction positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Role conflict does not have any direct influence to job satisfaction but has a direct positive influence toward turnover intention. Role Ambiguity positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Besides, this research also reveals that job satisfaction has a partial mediation effect between pay satisfaction and auditors’ turnover intention and has a full mediation effect between role ambiguity and auditors’ turnover intention, but it has no mediation effect between role conflict and auditors’ turnover intention.

The incremental effects of stress-related variables on adaptation to a new work setting were compared after 4 and 8 mo. Adaptation to the new work setting was assessed by job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion. Baseline predictor variables were shift, mode of entry (individual or group), job variety, and level of skills used by the organization. Stress-related predictor variables were role conflict, role ambiguity, and perceived symptoms of stress. Subjects were 80 employees at a new manufacturing facility. Comparative analysis indicated that role conflict was a significant factor in the prediction of job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion; symptoms of stress influenced emotional exhaustion. Role ambiguity was a poor predictor of job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion.

Organizational change is a widespread phenomenon; whether it be downsizing, restructuring, or a change in geographical location, changes affect the people involved in many ways. This research is aimed at assessing how such changes affect the members of organizations in both the private and the public sector. This information was collected from those at the top level who may have had a hand in the decision-making process and the planning of the change, as well as from those who work in the changing environment. A model of organizational change and stress is proposed and empirically investigated. Role conflict, role ambiguity, job satisfaction, expected value of change and their impact on stress was explored in five organizations undergoing different degrees of organizational change. Multiple regression and path analyses identified three alternative models.
