| Popis: | tion-that is, the split-relationship-leads toward a structure characterized by role segregation. In the clinical research group, the final form of such segregation and functional differentiation would be reached when no therapist conducts research, and no researcher conducts therapy. Our present impressions indicate that in fact such changes have been and are taking place as a result of individual choices of role redefinitions. To summarize, we have examined a scientific occupational role in which role conflicts are, so to speak, built-in. In the absence of institutionalized guides for the resolution of the conflicts, the individual clinical researcher attempts his own redefinition of the role. Such conflicts and redefinitions appear to mediate organizational change. The integrative redefinition leads to the establishment of a commonly held standard of behavior, a hierarchy of role obligations for integrating therapeutic functions and research functions. The split-relationship redefinition leads to the establishment of that other common mechanism of societal integration, the mechanism of role segregation. |
