“…As has been mentioned in the adaptation literature, many characteristics of both people and their environments are thought to influence adaptation processes. That is, there are many moderating variables to be explored in this stream of research (Parent, 2010). For example, researchers may consider the extent to which adaptation can be merged with the effort-recovery model (Meijman & Mulder, 1998) and recovery-related research in general.…”

Experienced workplace incivility has consistently been linked to a host of negative outcomes, but as a low-intensity behavior, most working adults should be able to adapt and move on from these experiences of incivility over time. On the basis of repeated measures data from a heterogeneous sample of 625 respondents across three waves, with a 1-month lag between assessments, and framed within adaptation theory, we propose and find strong empirical evidence that although incivility is concurrently related to 5 indices related to both positive and negative employee well-being (i.e., role overload, affective commitment, subjective well-being, burnout, and turnover intentions), working adults adapt to these experiences over time. However, in considering the unfolding of incivility over time, we also make a meaningful contribution and extension to adaptation theory, a theory wherein little consideration has been given to stressors that may be recurring over time. We propose and test the repeated exposure hypothesis as a framework for conceptualizing how past (distal) experiences of a stressor can indirectly influence strain outcomes via more proximal experiences of the stressor. We also provide preliminary evidence that indices of well-being have systematic lagged effects on incivility, supporting the argument for reverse causation over time between the constructs.

“…For example, among other positive correlates, such as less mood fluctuation from stress, optimists have been shown to adapt favorably to medical related stressors (e.g., illness, traumatic surgery; Scheier & Carver, 1992). Self-esteem, locus of control, and previous transition experience are other individual differences thought to influence adaptation rates (Parent, 2010). In collecting such within-person data, it will be important for scholars to use multiple data collection points to help disentangle relationships between the amount of change in the stimulus needed to engender a change in the response, as well as to further illuminate the speed of decay in this response.…”

In this study, we seek to highlight a potentially fundamental shift in how dynamic stressor-strain relationships should be conceptualized over time. Specifically, we provide an integrated empirical test of adaptation and role theory within a longitudinal framework. Data were collected at 3 time points, with a 6-week lag between time points, from 534 respondents. Using latent change modeling, results supported within-person adaptation to changes in job satisfaction and role conflict. Specifically, over the 12-week course of the study, changes in role clarity tended to be maintained, whereas changes in job satisfaction and role conflict tended to be fleeting and reverse themselves. Theoretical implications and future directions are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…If employers can predict issues and are ready for future changes, they are more likely to preserve the efficacy and efficiency of their work operations (Fernandez and Sabherwal, 2015). According to Parent (2010), those who are highly flexible are more tolerant of pressure at work and produce better, higher-quality work.…”

Given the expectations placed on workers' productivity at work, flexibility is a critical skill that all employees should possess. In this research, adaptability is a significant issue. In order to better understand how information sharing affects knowledge productivity among employees of Indonesian defense equipment companies, this study will look at how adaptability mediates that effect. With respect to 389 employees of Indonesian defense equipment businesses, this study aims to investigate this impact. The WarpPLS.7.0 program's Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis tool is used in the research data analysis approach together with descriptive statistical analysis. In this initial study, information sharing is looked at in relation to knowledge management, which directly impacts knowledge productivity. A mediating and moderating variable for the effect in this study is adaptability.
