The purpose of this study was to understand professors’ role conflicts while performing the roles of education, research, and in-school service, and to understand the effect of spirituality in work on resolving their role conflicts. For the purpose, role conflicts and spirituality in work of a professor of ten years experience working at a national university located in a rural area were studied through self-narrative inquiry. The diary written by the researcher for one year was analyzed as the main data, and lecture reflection diary, e-mails, and lecture evaluation by students were used as auxiliary research data. Regarding educational role conflict, the researcher experienced the fear due to students' uncomfortable behaviors and had both feeling of stagnation and arrogance because of teaching the same subjects. The researcher also experienced skepticism about his research because of being far from the public and experienced conflicts due to excessive intervention by the research ordering institution. In addition, taking campus volunteering roles reduced his time for teaching and researching; and unexpected situations made role conflicts for the researcher. The researcher attempted to resolve these role conflicts through self-protection, practice of connection with organization and society, and pursuit of new values of oneself and organization through work. This study showed that spirituality in work can solve professors' role conflicts and professors can develop through their works.
