Within-Person Variations in Career Adaptability: Theoretical Perspective

Abstract

Previous studies have investigated career adaptability at between-person levels and have neglected the possibility that it can vary in a short time period, such as daily. Drawing on the assumptions of Savickas career construction theory-CCT, this research intended to investigate within-person variations in career adaptability and its relation with employees’ daily job outcomes such as job performance. The research study has important practical implications for the managers and organizations to ponder over their attention to the important concept of within-person career adaptability to make them adjustable and adaptable according to the dynamic changes happening on daily bases in the organizations.
