Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the differences of the role ambiguity in offense responsibilities for athletes of team sports. As sample were used 421 athletes of basketball (n=125), handball (n=106), volleyball (n=78) and soccer (n=112). We used the role ambiguity questionnaire (Role Ambiguity Scale, Beauchamp et al., 2002) and referred to the athletes’ responsibilities in offense. The correlations of items were high and ranged from .57 to .75, p <.01 whereas from the one way analysis (one way, Anova) appeared some statistically serious differences in one factor of role ambiguity (ambiguity in relation to the scope of responsibilities in offense), F (3,415) = 4,416, p <.005. The volleyball and the handball athletes had more well defined roles regardless the scope of their responsibilities in offense, in relation to those of soccer. On the whole we come to the conclusion that among team sports there are not any differences in role ambiguity in offense responsibilities, except in one factor. More researches are necessary in connection to other variables.
