Abstract

One of the ways for organizations to remain competitive and relevant in their respective industry is through the employment of highly adaptive employees. The ability to act swiftly toward current situational environment needs (such as the adoption of educational technologies) may increase the effectiveness of delivery in teaching and learning. Despite its importance, studies on the adaptive performance field remain inconclusive and the empirical findings remain exclusive to the specific context of the study. In addition, the conceptualization of adaptive performance seeks further conformity, especially from the Malaysian perspective. Thus, this study aimed to identify the factors contributing to adaptive performance among lecturers in Malaysian public universities from the view of individual-based factors and organizational-related factors. The data were collected from February to May 2021 where this study employed an online survey involving 196 respondents and adopted the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to explain the relationship among the variables. The Smart Partial Least Square Method (SmartPLS) was used as the statistical tool for measurement model analysis and structural model analysis. The results indicated that individual-based factors (namely: career development and readiness to change), as well as an organizational-related factor (emergent change), were positive and significant factors contributing to adaptive performance. Besides, the finding empirically discovered that career development was the best factor influencing adaptive performance through the Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) analysis. Thus, the use of the SDT supported self-regulated behaviour such as adaptive performance.
