The Relationship between Hierarchy Ambiguity and Emotional Cut off among a Sample of Married Female and Male Employees Working at Some Public Hospitals in Amman

Abstract

the present study aimed to explore the relationship between hierarchy ambiguity and emotional cut off among a sample of married female and male employees working in 2 public hospitals in Amman, Jordan. It aimed to explore the levels of hierarchy ambiguity and emotional cut off in accordance with (the duration of the marriage, family income, and academic qualifications). The sample consists from 155 individuals (doctors and nurses) who work in the operation and ICU rooms in public hospitals. The researchers used two scales; the hierarchy ambiguity scale and the emotional cut off scale.  It was found that the respondents’ hierarchy ambiguity and emotional cut off levels are low.  It was found that there isn’t any statistically significant relationship between hierarchy ambiguity and emotional cut off. It was found that there isn’t any statistically significant difference in the respondents’ hierarchy ambiguity and emotional cut off which can be attributed to the family income and academic qualifications. That doesn’t apply to marriage duration. For instance, it was found that there is a significant difference between the respondents’ emotional cut off levels which can be attributed to the marriage duration for the favor of the ones who have been married for a period that exceeds 5 years.  It was found that there isn’t any statistically significant difference between the respondents’ hierarchy ambiguity which can be attributed to the marriage duration.
