Research on mandated occupational role change focuses on jurisdictional conflict to explain change failure. The authors’ study of the English National Health Service highlights the role of occupational dispositions in shaping how mandated role change is implemented by members of multiple occupational groups. The authors find that tension stemming from misaligned dispositions may emerge as members of different occupations interact during their role change implementation efforts. Depending on dispositional responses to tension, change may fail as members of the different occupations avoid interactions. This suggests that effective role change can be elusive even in the initial absence of conflicting occupational interests.

全科医生来自火星，管理者来自金星：错位的职业倾向在抑制强制角色转变中的作用

强制性职业角色变化的研究侧重于管辖冲突来解释变化失败。作者对英国国民健康服务的研究强调了职业倾向在塑造多个职业群体成员如何实施强制角色转变方面的作用。作者发现，由于不同职业的成员在角色改变实施过程中相互作用，可能会出现由不一致的性格引起的紧张局势。根据对紧张的性格反应，改变可能会失败，因为不同职业的成员避免互动。这表明即使在最初没有相互冲突的职业利益的情况下，有效的角色转变也可能难以捉摸。
