| Abstract: | This study describes ambiguity and role conflict at the departmental level. Using a cultural perspective, attention was focused on the situation of department chairs and how they and other individuals perceived the demands and expectations facing the department chair. Four different departments at Uppsala University, Sweden, and their department chairs, were studied using interviews and diaries. The study showed that numerous demands are placed on department chairs. Role conflict and ambiguity characterise the position. |
