Lesson 11 : Roles and Responsibilities of Community

Inter role conflict

Inadequate role implementation may result when the parental role conflicts with another social role. The occupational role often conflicts with the duties and obligations of the parental role. The father who is away from the home therefore and the demands of his job, faces such a conflict, just as working mother faces a conflict between her role as a mother and her role as an employee. The conflicting demands made by different role requirements stemming from the variety of positions people occupy simultaneously in a complex society may result in the inadequate implementation of the parental role. In such situations, the child is deprived and the invention of child welfare service is appropriate.
