Dutch term or phrase: is gekoppeld aan de rol

The sentence is:
De variabele beloningsregeling is gekoppeld aan de rol binnen de Professional Communities.

Does 'rol' mean 'role' here? This does not seem to make sense to me.
The variable bonus scheme is linked to the role of/in?? the Professional Communities.

responsabilities/position

Explanation:
hoe hoger in de boom, hoe mooier de variabele beloningsregelingen: directie, salesmedewerkers, helpdeskmedewerkers, overige medewerkers. Rol interpreteer ik als een mooie neutrale term voor: rang of functie of positie of verantwoordelijkheden. Als vertaling stel ik voor: position, responsabilities. Of weet iemand nog een mooie term die nog beter past bij deze Japanse organisatie die zijn afdelingen 'Professional Communities' noemt? Veel succes, :)

is linked to the function / (is contingent upon)

Explanation:
rol IMO is equal to "functie" in Dutch, but it's not often used in Dutch, while it is common in English. I'd always translate it as "function" or sometimes even "job".

I think is gekoppeld is meant as "depends on" but it's not what is written there, perhaps too strong a link. Look at the context.

>> The variable compensation (payment, pay) scheme (schedule, arrangement) is linked to (depends on, contingent upon, ) (the) function within the Professional Communities

role

Explanation:
Ik denk dat je in de goede richting zit. Wat ik eruit lees is dat het soort var. beloning afhangt van welke rol ze hebben in de 'professional communities' die daar net boven genoemd zijn. (bv helpdeskmedewerker, directielid etc.).
Mijn 2 cent!

I had not seen André\'s note yet - sorry for that. I am with André there! Role in the Professional Communities I would say.

position vind ik ook beter klinken! Hoewel ze dat waarschijnlijk juist neutraler hebben willen laten klinken (akkoord met Willemien), en er daarom rol van gemaakt hebben in het origineel.

is based on a person's/employee's role/position

Explanation:
I think the sentence becomes more clear if you add 'a person's' or 'an employee's'.

Other authorizations are based on a person's role within their department or college (dean, payroll coordinator, manager)

Mr. Elliott contended PERS benefits should be based on an employee's position and not be based on whether or not the employee was hired into public employee service in Nevada from out of state. He suggested employees who held identical positions should be entitled to equal retirement benefits.
