Resumo: | The reform of the judiciaries of several countries have created a new role for judges, a managerial role, in which judges assume new management responsibilities. This new role is different from the traditional one which focused on judicial tasks, and has generated conflict and ambiguity in the work of judges. This study aims to identify and discuss the conflicts and ambiguities between the judicial and administrative roles performed by Portuguese judges. The research took place in Portugal over the period between 2013 and 2014, and data was collected from in-depth interviews with 12 judges. The research identifies several areas of role conflict and ambiguity in the judges’ work. The main conflicts are: incompatibility between the carrying out of judicial and management activities; high workload and insufficient and unmotivated administrative staff; the need to maintain both productivity and judicial quality; and the great responsibility of the position but poor remuneration. The main ambiguities reported are: the formal relationship between judges and administrative officials; the judge’s function in the process of court planning; the criteria for the distribution of judicial proceedings among judges; and the criteria to evaluate judges’ performance. These results are discussed and a research agenda is suggested. |

Esta nueva función es diferente del papel tradicional centrado en tareas judiciales y ha generado conflicto en el trabajo de los jueces. Dentro de este contexto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar y discutir conflictos y ambigüedades entre los papeles judicial y de gestión desempeñados por jueces de Portugal. El estudio se realizó en Portugal, entre 2013 y 2014, y los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas en profundidad con 12 jueces. Los principales conflictos son: incompatibilidad con el desempeño de las actividades judiciales y administrativos; alta carga de trabajo y el equipo de administración inadecuada y sin motivación; la productividad versus calidad del trabajo judicial; y la posición de alta responsabilidad y de bajos ingresos. Las principales ambigüedades detectadas en las entrevistas se refieren a: relación formal entre los jueces y personal administrativo; papel del juez en el proceso de planificación de los tribunales; o criterio para la distribución de los casos judiciales entre jueces; y o criterio de evaluación para juzgar el desempeño de jueces. Se discuten los resultados y se sugiere una agenda para futuros estudios.Reformas em judiciários de diversos países criaram um novo papel para os juízes, um papel gerencial, em que juízes assumem novas responsabilidades relacionadas às atividades administrativas. Esse novo papel é diferente do papel tradicional, focado em tarefas judiciais e tem gerado conflitos no trabalho de juízes. Com base nesse contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar e discutir conflitos e ambiguidades envolvendo os papéis judicial e gerencial, desempenhados por juízes de Portugal. A pesquisa foi realizada em Portugal, entre 2013 e 2014, e os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com 12 juízes. Os principais conflitos são: incompatibilidade entre a realização de atividades judiciais e administrativas; carga de trabalho elevada e equipe administrativa insuficiente e desmotivada; produtividade versus qualidade do trabalho judicial; e alta responsabilidade do cargo e baixo salário. As principais ambiguidades identificadas nas entrevistas referem-se a: relação formal entre juízes e pessoal administrativo; função do juiz no processo de planejamento dos tribunais; o critério para distribuição de processos judiciais entre juízes; e o critério de avaliação do desempenho de juízes.
