“…When examining teacher role conflict, the addition of personal or professional roles, or change in any role in itself, may produce conflict. Teachers and paraeducators may then cope with the conflict by abandoning a role, creating role separation, or creating a hierarchy and designating one role as their primary role (Gehrke, 1982). What remains unknown is how teachers and paraeducators may cope if the roles are ambiguous in nature as found in this study.…”

The use of paraeducators has increased as a main mechanism to include more students with disabilities in the public schools in the U.S. Although the utilization of paraeducators is intended to be a supportive service delivery option, many concerns and challenges have resulted. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the paraeducator in the general physical education environment from the perspectives of special education, physical education, and adapted physical education teachers and paraeducators. Data were collected from a phenomenological approach using questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Results indicate concerns about the clarity of the role of the paraeducator in physical education. Emerging themes include elastic definitions of student protection and teacher backup, contradictory expectations and mixed acceptance, and paraeducators’ role ambiguity. Findings regarding the role of the paraeducator are essential in determining both best practice and legal policy for the appropriate utilization of paraeducators in physical education.

“…This tension might be particularly acute for individuals in professions where the salience and pervasiveness of individuals’ work identities are greater (Broadhead 1983). The desire to be a “good” parent, for example, can often threaten one's identity as a “good” teacher, lawyer, doctor, or other professional (Cinamon and Rich 2002; Gehrke 1982). This tension can go in the other direction as well, as being a “good” professional can threaten one's family identities.…”

Scientific Study of Religion

Concerns about family life push some students away from a career in science or lead them away from particular career paths within science. Religion has been shown to have an influence on individuals’ values concerning both family and work. This study uses data from a survey of U.S. graduate students in five science disciplines to estimate a structural equation model examining paths between religiosity, work and family values, and intent to pursue different careers within science. The analysis finds that religiosity is positively associated with the importance placed on family and, through this mediator, is associated with a lower intent to pursue research‐focused academic jobs and higher intent to pursue teaching‐focused academic jobs. We discuss the implications of these findings, particularly as the analysis shows that women and some racial and ethnic minority students are more religious than their male and white peers.

“…Role conflict is another problem usually faced by IOs. It refers to a situation in which an individual plays two or more roles, which conflict with each other and causes role deviance (Gehrke, 1982). When the perception of the individual experiencing role conflict is obvious, the person suffers higher work stress, which may cause higher job burnout ( Jackson and Schuler, 1985).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the causal correlation between the work stress of immigration officers (IOs) and the cross-level effect of social support. Design/methodology/approach A multilevel model was used to analyze the quantitative data obtained from 231 IOs in Taiwan, who served as the research objects. Findings From the results of this study, it was found that a positive significant relationship existed between role conflict and work stress, as well as between work stress and job burnout. Also, cross-level context and moderating effect for the relationship between social support and work stress, as well as between social support, work stress and job burnout were obtained. Originality/value This study only considered IOs in airports and ports. Therefore, it is necessary to determine if other topics of organizational behavior, such as the leadership of supervisors, organizational climate and work values of IOs, have a positive moderating effect. In this regard, it is recommended that a longitudinal study should be conducted in the future.
