title: Effects of moderating variables on product managers' behavior.
abstract: This study examined the moderating effects of role autonomy, need for affiliation, and tolerance of ambiguity on the relationships between role pressures of conflict and ambiguity and personal outcomes of job satisfaction, job-related tension, and perceived performance. Data from 166 product managers indicate that role autonomy and need for affiliation do have moderating effects unlike tolerance of ambiguity. Managerial implications are discussed.
