This study examined the relationships between personal, job, and organizational factors and perceived role conflict between physicians and nurse practitioners. Data from 361 nurse practitioners showed that perceived conflict was significantly and negatively correlated with satisfaction, task characteristics, and instrumental leadership style of the supervisory physician. Significantly positive correlations were obtained between conflict and organizational size in terms of number of physicians and nurses in the health-care setting.
