Effects Of Role Conflict On Selected Physiological, Affective, And Performance Variables: A Laboratory Simulation

A simulation methodology was employed to assess the cause and effect relationship between role conflict and selected physiological, affective, and performance measures. Multivariate analyses showed that these selected measures do differentiate between individuals exposed to conditions of role conflict and no role conflict. The study indicates the importance of utilizing interdisciplinary dependent measures and supports the use of simulation methodology in studying organizational stress.
