Q
Interrole Conflicts
A
- Interpersonal role conflict occurs when the source of the dilemma stems from occupancy of more than one focal position.
- For example, as a husband and a father in a social system a superintendent may think his wife and children expect him to spend most of his evenings with them. However, his school board and P.T.A. groups, he may feel, expect him (as their school superintendent) to spend most of his after-office hours on educational and civic activities. The superintendent usually cannot satisfy both of these incompatible expectations.
