Question

How will you handle role conflict?

Answer 1

There are many meanings of role conflict.  In Organizational psych, role conflict is a source of stress due to differing roles.  However, at a social level, we all deal with a degree of role conflict (ie our roles with our mother versus the one with our spouse or children).  While you can keep some roles separate (professional versus personal life), with others, it is indeed a balancing act.  However, if you are honest about yourself, remain mature in all your relationships, and keep open lines of communication, there is usually minimal conflict.

Answer 2

Well you should be upfront, honest and respectful of the other person.  Unfortunately most of us including myself find that a little too hard to do.
