Question

When employees are unclear about work methods, scheduling, and performance criteria because others hold different ideas about these, they are likely to suffer from role ambiguity. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Explanation:

In a workplace, role ambiguity happens when employees are not certain about what their job related roles or tasks are. They might be confused or uncertain about what is expected from them or what should they be doing. Sometimes this uncertainty involves different types of job related aspects, like behavior expectations or workplace relationships.

Obviously uncertainty is never good, because it increases stress levels, specially to new workers, but can also lower productivity of current workers that have been assigned new functions or tasks. The person in charge of stating and making things clear is the supervisor or manager, since it is normal that different opinions and views within the employees just makes things more confusing.
