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.

<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>

Abstract Context: Whenever professionals have multiple role obligations in the workplace, they face potential professional role complexities. Objective: To examine whether certified athletic trainers (ATs) employed at the collegiate level experienced professional role complexities, and if so, what effect those complexities had upon their job satisfaction and intent to leave a current position or the profession. Design: Survey. Setting: We used Internet survey methods to gather information from 1000 randomly selected collegiate ATs regarding the amount of stress they felt due to role complexities. Patients or Other Participants: We obtained a random sample of e-mail addresses for 1000 collegiate ATs in the United States and contacted these individuals with an invitation to participate. A total of 348 usable responses were received, for a 36% response rate. Main Outcome Measure(s): The role complexity aspect of the survey consisted of 45 questions addressing role ambiguity, role overload, role incongruity, role incompetence, and role conflict. The job satisfaction portion consisted of global questions regarding overall job satisfaction and intent to leave the job or profession. Results: A total of 38% of respondents experienced moderate to high stress levels from role overload, whereas 23% and 22% had moderate to high levels of stress from role ambiguity and role conflict, respectively. Clinicians and joint appointees who reported moderate to high levels of stress from role complexity issues had lower job satisfaction and more frequent thoughts of leaving than did their faculty counterparts. Conclusions: The majority of collegiate ATs experienced low levels of professional role complexities and were relatively satisfied with their jobs. However, collegiate ATs began to experience less job satisfaction and more thoughts of leaving when moderate to high stress levels occurred due to role ambiguity, overload, incongruity, incompetence, and conflict. Lessening the stress due to role complexities is critical to positive employment experiences for ATs employed in higher education.

The purposes of the study were to determine the relationships between stress, role ambiguity, and role conflict and to correlate these measures with job satisfaction. Direct service workers ( n = 138) in mental health, mental retardation, and physical restoration facilities participated. All variables were significantly intercorrelated. Highest correlations were between stress, role ambiguity, and job satisfaction. Role conflict was not significantly correlated with job satisfaction when stress and role ambiguity were partialed out. Leaders' structuring behaviors should be studied as a potential moderator of stress and role ambiguity.

Abstract Background: Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs) are community-based health workers in Malawi, responsible for health services delivery at the community level. They are reported to be overloaded in their work, and anecdotal evidence suggests they are stressed. The purpose of this study was to explore the role stressors among the HSAs with the view to identify factors for role stressors and suggest some measures for the effective management of the HSAs to alleviate the problem of role stressors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design and multistage stage sampling were used in this study. Data were collected from 430 HSAs from the districts of Mangochi, Lilongwe and Mzimba. A self-administered questionnaire was hand delivered to a total of 455 HSAs with a response rate of 94.5%. The data collected were analyzed with the aid of the computer software package Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Statistics used for the analysis included: Mean, Standard Deviation, correlations and principal component analysis (PCA). Results: The key findings of this study are that role ambiguity ( r = -.238, P< 0.001) and role overload ( r =-.159, P< 0.01) were significantly negatively related to job satisfaction, while role conflict ( r = -.004, P= 0.472) was insignificantly related to job satisfaction. Additionally, the HSAs curative role was negatively related to role ambiguity ( r = -.108, P= 0.013) and positively related to role conflict ( r = .118, P= 0.008) and role overload ( r = .105, P= 0.015) while the HSAs overall preventive task was positively related to role overload. Conclusion: Since the HSAs clinical tasks were significantly related to all role stressors there is need by the government of Malawi to design strategies to control the role stressors to ensure increased job performance and job satisfaction among HSAs.

Hotel Employees

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 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.
