“…Several studies have shown that role perceptions are an important predictor of performance (e.g., van der Meer, 2023; Parker, 2007). Identity theory is useful when trying to understand how civil servants’ role perceptions relate to their perceived performance.…”

“…It is often argued that because of the layering of government perspectives, civil servants can simultaneously hold different role perceptions and can adhere to specific role perceptions to lesser or higher degrees (van der Meer, 2023). To be able to distinguish between them, we developed idiosyncratically defined role perception measurement scales.…”

“…So far, research into employees’ role perceptions has focused mainly on the private sector (Clark et al, 2014; Grant & Hofmann, 2011; Parker, 2007). An important conclusion of these studies has been that role perceptions are highly relevant when organizations seek to enhance performance (van der Meer, 2023; Parker, 2007). Using identity theory, it can be argued that the way individuals give meaning to the perception they have of their role has an impact on the decisions they make and how they behave (Burke & Stets, 2009).…”

Civil servants’ work is being affected by an increasing variety of government reforms. As such, the role of civil servants is a major topic of research. Nevertheless, no validated measurement scales exist for how civil servants themselves perceive their own role in a complex and constantly changing environment. We develop and validate measurement scales for civil servants’ role perceptions. Using data from two surveys (N=161 and N=1080), we develop scales for bureaucratic, entrepreneurial, and networking role perceptions. We found that each role perception consists of two idiosyncratic elements. We tested our scales for reliability and validity and found that all three role perceptions related to role ambiguity, commitment, and engagement. Moreover, the entrepreneurial and networking role perceptions correlated with PSM, while the bureaucratic and entrepreneurial role perceptions correlated with performance. We discuss opportunities to systematically study the effects and antecedents of civil servants’ role perceptions as they have practical implications.This article is protected by copyright.

Both scholars and practitioners agree that stakeholder participation in place branding processes is important for enhancing their support, often referred to as Brand Citizenship Behaviour (BCB). Stakeholder participation can be varied and is often linked to the different roles that place stakeholders can adopt in the place branding process. The literature suggests a link between different stakeholder roles taken along the branding process (from decision-making to implementation) and their voluntary and active supportive behaviours towards the brand project. Despite this recognition, many aspects related to place stakeholders’ roles and BCB remain underexplored, particularly what leads stakeholder to adopt certain roles and engage in behaviours associated with such roles. This study aims to fill this gap by using role theory as a theoretical lens to conceptually explore the different roles actors adopt in the place branding process, their motivations to adopting a certain role and the behavioural expectations that come with such roles. Given the complexity of places and interactive nature of place branding, we also reflect on the fluid and interrelated nature of such roles as they are constantly (re)shaped in the interactions between place stakeholders.
