Abstract: Role ambiguity is conceptualized as the lack of clarity in work. The purpose of the study is to present the levels of role ambiguity shown by research professors who belong to an academic body at the Universidad Juarez Autónoma de Tabasco in Mexico. The study design is non-experimental, descriptive and correlational transactional. A sample of 234 faculty researchers using stratified random sampling across all academics divisions participated in this study. The results showed that 23.5% of the population had a high level of role ambiguity. Ambiguity rules, processes and time, showed recurrent significant differences for most socio-demographic variables.
