Your work is all the activities that you do in the course of doing your job and these activities may be seen as appropriates as much as responsibilities.

I am wondering what the bold part means?

What is more, I never managed to find such a word as a noun, let alone its plural form.

  • It's a guess, but an assumed one: Appropriates= appropriate things.

    Are you quoting a text or making this sentence up?

    This is not idiomatic English. Where did you encounter it?

    please provide context, like where did you get the sentence or you read the word. To my knowledge that word as a noun does not exist, unlike responsibility (I don't understand why you wrote that bold too).

    @Man_From_India But activities are not responsible: people are responsible for activities.

Collins and OALD both list only "appropriateness" as noun derrived from "appropriate" (verb/adjective).

So I'm led to assume that "appropriate" is not a propper noun.
