520 |a This study investigates the impact of role problems on the vocational commitment of Protestant ministers, using a sample of 667 in the Chicago area. It tests the explanatory power of two approaches—Blizzard's analysis of role preferences, and Campbell and Pettigrew's analysis of reference systems. Regarding the first, preferences among the six roles (preacher, pastor, priest, teacher, organizer, and administrator) are only moderately predictive of vocational commitment. Regarding the second, problems of role clarity and conflict are very important for ministers' commitment to their present pastorates; the largest problems are with congregational lay leaders, not denominational leaders. Also ministers stressing intentional career planning are less committed to the ministry in general. When both approaches are used simultaneously, the reference system approach is by far the most explanatory for commitment to one's present pastorate, while both are needed for explaining commitment to the ministry in general.
