520 |a Using data from a survey of 156 Protestant churches, this paper examines the relationship between work arrangements in churches and clergy perceptions of role ambiguity. Clergy and lay people frequently shared control over core-clergy and administrative work, but shared control---where the distinction between clergy and lay roles is least clear---was not related to clergy perceptions of role ambiguity. Clergy had heavier task loads with respect to core-clergy than administrative work; clergy with heavier core-clergy task loads reported higher levels of role ambiguity. These findings suggest that high levels of lay participation in and control over church work may not negatively affect clergy with respect to role ambiguity, and may have some positive effects. Other organizational and clergy characteristics were related to lower levels of role ambiguity: formal job descriptions, longer tenure at the church, and specialized training.
