Comment:

 > meaning which posts to be listed based on current user's role would be
 an additional burden and to achieve this a series of if...else statements
 will have to be incorporated which I believe is not very necessary here.

 Not really. WordPress has a robust capabilities API. This would be as
 simple as `current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id )` for example.
