Correct Answer: Role ambiguity


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Role ambiguity

In a matrix structure, employees report to both a functional manager and a product or project manager, which can create uncertainty and confusion regarding their roles, responsibilities, and to whom they should prioritize their efforts. This duality can sometimes result in unclear expectations and potentially lead to role ambiguity.
