Role

Your role is:

• understanding your role within the University
• ensuring that you do not have conflicting roles

Situation that may lead to stress

You may feel anxious and stressed if there is ambiguity in your role or where there is a lack of clarity in terms of what is expected of you.

What can be done to reduce stress

You and your line manager should work together to create a full, meaningful and well structured job description. You should be fully aware of your individual targets, your team targets and the organisational goals of the University.

The ideal situation

You clearly understand your role and responsibilities and any concerns you have may be freely discussed with your line manager.
