    En esta investigación se pone de manifiesto el efecto diferencial que el conflicto y la ambigüedad de rol tienen en los mandos intermedios. Concretamente, nuestros datos indican que el mando intermedio está afectado por el conflicto de rol mientras que apenas sufre ambigüedad de rol. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones de interés de cara a la validez de constructo, así como a la unidimensionalidad o bidimensionalidad de estas variables, así como de cara al estudio uniforme o diferencial de estos fenómenos

Concretely our datas show that middle manager are much more affected by role conflict than role ambiguity. Indeed the don't almost suffer the last one. These results have implications of interest about the construct validity, as well as the unidimensionality or bidimensionality of these variables as well as about the differential or uniform study of them.
