ABSTRACT:
Due to uncertainty and high level of ambiguity, an individual is the real predictor of the performance, productivity and success as well as survival of the organization. According to Fiedler (1996), individuals behavior during complex and uncertain situation is the significant determinant for organizational success. Ambiguity is the perception of the individual and tolerance of ambiguity is the reaction of the individual towards stimuli/situation. Since its inception, the concept of tolerance of ambiguity is changing along with its measurement and more refined. It is widely used and included in various fields for neuroscience, decision making, perception, and personality trait. Research findings also stated that embracing tolerance ambiguity is related with positive behavior in organization. The present paper examines the concept of tolerance of ambiguity, its implication in the organization, its measure and opportunity for research.
