Abstract
The antecedents and consequences of role perceptions (role clarity and role conflict) are examined using path analysis. Employees with realistic perceptions of the organization experienced increased role clarity, less role conflict, and tended to be more satisfied. Those individuals who perceived a sense of fit, or congruence, were more likely to adjust to the work environment in a positive way. They experienced increased job satisfaction. Role conflict, in turn, was associated with reduced job satisfaction. Increased role clarity results in better job performance and less role conflict. Finally, increased job satisfaction led to increased job commitment.
