Low Role Clarity

Low role clarity is when you have unclear job role, responsibilities, or expectations.

This can include overlapping responsibilities, unclear job descriptions, roles or reporting lines, not being given enough information to do the job, unclear work priorities, and conflicting or frequently changing expectations and standards.

Low role clarity becomes a psychosocial hazard when it is severe, prolonged, or recurring. When this happens, it is a health and safety risk that should be resolved.

Low role clarity can cause increased stress, which can become harmful to both physical and mental health.
