Abstract:
Role is the position one occupies in a social system and is defined by the functions one performs in response to the expectations of the significant members of a social system, and one’s own expectations from that position. ‘Role’ and ‘office’ (or position), though two sides of the same coin, are nevertheless two separate concepts. According to Katz and Kahn (1966), ‘Office is essentially a relational concept, defining each position in terms of its relationships to others and to the system as a whole.’ While ‘office’ is a relational and power related concept, ‘role; is an ‘obligation’ concept. An office is concerned with the hierarchical position and privileges while a role is concerned with the obligations of the position. Office is a point in social structure defining the office-holder’s power; a role is the integrated set of behaviors expected from a person occupying that office. Katz and Kahn (1966) have proposed the concept of a ‘role episode’ to explain the process of role taking. Role taking involves both role sending (by the ‘significant’ others) and role receiving (by the role occupant). The role occupant and the role senders constantly interact and the processes of role sending and role receiving together influence the role behaviour of the individual. The role senders have expectations on the basis of their perception of the role occupant’s behaviour. The role occupant, in turn, acts on the basis of his or her perception of the role. However, a person’s role behaviour also influences the expectations of the role senders. Thus a role episode has a feedback loop. Role efficacy has several aspects. The more these aspects are present in a role, the higher the efficacy of that role is likely to be. These aspects can be classified into three groups or dimensions.
