readiness, adaptability resources, adapting

adaptive career behaviours. (10)
Adaptive career behaviors refer to an individual's ability to navigate career-related
transitions and challenges effectively. The four key components—adaptive
readiness, adaptability resources, adapting responses, and adaptation
outcomes—each play a distinct role in career development. Below is a
differentiation of these components:
1. Adaptive Readiness
o This refers to an individual’s willingness and motivation to adapt to
career changes.
o It includes personality traits such as openness to experience, proactive
behavior, and a positive attitude toward change.
o Without adaptive readiness, an individual may struggle to engage in
career adaptability processes.
2. Adaptability Resources
o These are the psychological and social resources that support career
adaptability.
o They include competencies such as career planning, decision-making
skills, problem-solving ability, and social support networks.
o Career adaptability resources help individuals manage transitions
effectively and respond to career uncertainties.
3. Adapting Responses
o These are the specific actions or behaviors individuals take in
response to career challenges or changes.
o Examples include seeking new skills, exploring different career
options, networking, or engaging in continuous learning.
