“…As such, individual behavior can be understood and predicted if one knows the roles occupied and the corresponding behavioral expectations tied to that role. Early role theorists used these assumptions to better understand how role expectations may lead to prejudiced beliefs among adolescents who opposed the racial integration of schools (Bank, Biddle, Keats, & Keats, 1977) and to examine differences in how educators interact with students based on a student's socioeconomic status and the teacher's age, experience, and ethnicity (Beezer, 1974). The key tenets of role theory have been used to develop extensive theory concerning specific roles, how individuals relate to roles, and perspectives such as social role theory, role congruity theory, and role identity theory.…”

Role theories examine how individual behavior is shaped by prevailing social roles and provide insights into how behavior is perceived by others in light of such roles. Current movements for police reform as well as the landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the employment rights of LGBTQIA individuals have brought conversations concerning roles and their potential impact to the forefront of public discourse. Academic perspectives in management research have aided in building knowledge concerning how roles impact individuals and organizations in a variety of research domains, including entrepreneurship, human resource management, organizational behavior, and strategic management. While the utilization of role theory has gained tremendous momentum over the past two decades, its central tenets are often blurred given that several related but unique perspectives surrounding roles exist in the literature. We trace the origins and development of specific role theories by defining central constructs to bring clarity to the conceptual ambiguities between various role theories and key concepts. Next, we provide an integrative review of empirical role research in management journals over the past 20 years. Here, we identify the five most prominent research themes in the management literature: roles and identity, work–nonwork interface, biases and stereotypes, career life cycles, and ethics and other-oriented behavior. Finally, we provide an agenda for future research that highlights missed opportunities in management research that draws from the key themes identified in our review.

“…In addition, role theory was concerned with the behavioral patterns that are common to socially individual groups and the cognitive and emotional events underlying these patterns. In this respect, the concept of role can be examined in terms of the behavior of educators (Beezer, 1974). This situation can interactively clarify the effects of the roles that academicians assume for their activities, the risks to their jobs, and their ability to express themselves.…”

The increasing importance of science at the national and international education level makes it necessary to investigate the activities of academicians in their organizations. The aim of this research, which is based on role theory, is to investigate the effects of work role fit (suitability job role) and self-expression behaviors on the risk-taking of the academician’s job. In the research, an electronic questionnaire was conducted to 400 academicians who were determined by the voluntary sampling method, which is one of the non-random methods. The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS, GSCA and AMOS package programs. As a result of the research analysis; it has been observed that the academician’s work role fit has a moderator effect on the effect of self-expression on risk-taking behavior. The fact that the academician acted by his work role fit positively and significantly affected his risk-taking behavior. Self-expression behavior had a mediating effect on the effect of work role fit on risk-taking behavior. The academician for the work role fit positively and significantly affected the self-expression behavior. In addition, the behavior of the academician to express herself in the worcplace positively and significantly affected risk-taking behavior towards the job. The results obtained reveal the original value of the academician in the academic working environment.

“…In one study, role theory was used to assess over sixty teachers in twelve different schools in Arizona. The research looked at actual teacher behavior while performing the role of teacher (Beezer, 1974). Role theory can also be used to frame the roles males and females play in high school STEM classrooms.…”

This mixed methods research investigates the differences between high school males who pursue the PLTW Biomedical Science program and those males who do not. The study examines males in a rural Midwestern high school, analyzing factors such as GPA, sports, clubs, work, volunteering, and whether at least one parent attended college. It also looks at how high school male students perceive the PLTW Biomedical Science program. The focus is to understand why few males enroll in the program. A survey constructed by the researcher is administered to gather quantitative data related to the previously mentioned factors. Pearson's Chi-square analysis further tests for statistical significance among the two groups of males. Additional qualitative data via interviews is collected from among the non-biomed males. The study found biomed males to have a greater GPA, participation in sports, and were more likely to work than their non-biomed counterparts. The non-biomed males were more likely to have at least one parent attend college. Participation in clubs and volunteering was not statistically significant. The perception of PLTW Biomedical Science program among non-biomed males is positive. Students feel as though their friends like the courses and talk about what a neat program it is. The non-biomed males interviewed for this study simply report not having interest in biomedicine as the main reason they did not join the program. They also reported male brains are wired differently, males are less mature than their female counterparts, and the program should be advertised as being "fun" in order to attract more males to the program.
