The present study examined the moderating influences of locus of control and job involvement on the relationships between role conflict, role ambiguity, and three individual outcomes: job satisfaction, job-related anxiety, and propensity to leave the organization. Ill supermarket department managers responded to a mailed questionnaire containing moderator, role perception, and outcome measures. Moderated multiple regression analyses failed to provide evidence of any significant (p < .05) moderating effects; however, job involvement by itself did add significantly to the prediction of propensity to leave. It was suggested that future research allow for nonlinear moderating influences.
