Adaptive Performance as a Dimension of Job Performance: A Theoretical Framework

The aim of this study is to examine the concept of adaptive performance within a theoretical perspective. For this purpose, job performance was first mentioned and the concepts of task performance, contextual performance and counterproductive performance, which are among the dimensions of job performance, were briefly mentioned, and then the concept of the adaptive performance was discussed. When the literature is examined, it is seen that adaptive performance is frequently discussed together with the concepts of change and adaptability, and by referring to the emergence and the developmental process of adaptive performance, the difference between adaptive performance and other dimensions of job performance is emphasized and adaptive performance is defined. Therefore, the concept of adaptive performance in the study is examined under four subtitles as change, adaptability, the emergence of adaptive performance and developmental process, defining adaptive performance. Then, the concepts that are evaluated as sub-dimensions of adaptive performance were explained. In discussion and conclusion, the term adaptive performance is handled in the context of educational organizations and the teaching profession.
