The relationship between mindfulness and individual adaptability in a dynamic workplaceJohnstone, Rhys January 2018 (has links)
Purpose. Individual adaptability has been proposed as a source of adaptive
performance, an increasingly important performance dimension in dynamic contexts.
However, there is limited understanding of the antecedents of adaptability. Mindfulness
has been shown to improve performance and well-being in the workplace, but the
underlying mechanisms of this relationship are not well understood. Answering this
need, we hypothesize a link between mindfulness and adaptability and conduct an
empirical study to examined this relationship in dynamic work contexts.
Methodology and findings. 198 knowledge workers in dynamic workplaces
completed a self-rating survey that measured mindfulness and a multifactor measure of
individual adaptability. Correlation analysis found a significant positive relationship
between mindfulness and individual adaptability, and also between mindfulness and
five sub-factors of adaptability. Regression analysis found mindfulness could
significantly predict adaptability and that mindfulness added incremental variability to
various sub-scale factors of adaptability, over and above work stress adaptability. In
other words, mindfulness is not simply a stress management skill but also enhances
other aspects of adaptability such as learning and problem-solving.
Implications. Individual adaptability helps to explain the relationship between
mindfulness, performance and well-being in the workplace. Mindfulness-Based
Interventions (MBIs) have established protocols and proven outcomes in organizational
and psychological literature. It may be possible to enhance individual adaptability
through such MBIs and thus support adaptive performance while reducing negative
impacts on individual well-being. / Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2018. / pt2019 / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / MBA / Unrestricted

Créativité, adaptabilité et compétences à s’orienter tout au long de la vie. / Creativity, career adaptability and lifelong career management skillsPatillon, Thi-Van 10 December 2014 (has links)
Partant du constat que les compétences créatives ont été peu étudiées dans le champ de l’orientation, alors même que les conduites d’orientation dans le contexte sociétal moderne font très largement appel aux compétences individuelles d’ouverture, de flexibilité, d’originalité, d’adaptation, voire même d’innovation, la thèse présentée examine la place et le rôle de la créativité comme composante des compétences à s’orienter.Après avoir exploré différentes associations possibles entre créativité et différentes compétences à s’orienter, nous nous focalisons d’une part sur les relations entre la créativité et l’adaptabilité de carrière telles que définies et opérationnalisées par Savickas (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012), et d’autre part entre la créativité et l’adaptabilité individuelle telle que définie et opérationnalisée par Ployart et Bliese (2006). Une étude portant sur un échantillon d’étudiants de premier cycle universitaire en France (n = 500) a été conduite et les résultats obtenus indiquent des corrélations significatives et positives entre le potentiel créatif et certaines des dimensions de l’adaptabilité individuelle et de carrière et invitent à accorder une place plus importante à la créativité dans les modèles d’orientation tout au long de la vie. / Two major approaches have emerged in the discipline of career counseling to determine the key factors in career development: the relationship between creative potential and adaptability, and between creative potential and the individual characteristics of personality, motivation, and logical reasoning. This research attempts to integrate these two approaches by evaluating the impact of each of these factors on adaptability. 500 undergraduate volunteers filled out self-assessment questionnaires and performed timed graphic efficiency tests. The results were subjected to statistical analysis. The findings indicate that the individual characteristics of personality and motivation have higher correlation with adaptability than creativity and logical reasoning. Future research should involve different populations and employ non-graphic tests of creativity to confirm these results. If confirmed it would then be necessary to further explore the role of creativity in career development.
