RESULTS The three following categories emerged from data analysis: "roles Interference"; "role ambiguity", and "conflicting expectations". The main theme was "working in conflict climate". CONCLUSIONS This study highlighted the influential factors that could produce role conflict for nursing faculty members. The results can help university leaders to improve nursing faculty working conditions.
