University management has materialized these changes in new ways of conceiving, measuring and encouraging academic work. University management has materialized these changes in new ways of conceiving, measuring and encouraging academic work. Based on the analysis of 40 interviews with academics, the present paper reports the findings in 3 categories, namely: identity narratives of the critical academic, identity narratives of the solitary academic and identity narratives of the prestigious academic.
