<p>Guided by the Career Construction Model of Adaptation, the current study explored the contributions of grit and Chinese culture-based interpersonal relatedness (IR) personality to employees’ adaptive performance and the moderating effects of work–life balance in these relations.

The results indicated that the perseverance dimension of grit positively predicted all five dimensions of adaptive performance (i.e., handling work stress, training effort, interpersonal adaptability, reactivity in the face of emergencies, and creativity) at higher levels of work–life balance. The passion dimension of grit positively predicted creativity and reactivity in the face of emergencies regardless of work–life balance and positively predicted handling work stress only among those with high levels of work–life balance. Furthermore, IR positively predicted creativity, reactivity in the face of emergencies, training effort, and handling work stress regardless of work–life balance and positively predicted interpersonal adaptability only among the participants with low levels of work–life balance.

摘要

Guided by the Career Construction Model of Adaptation, the current study explored the contributions of grit and Chinese culture-based interpersonal relatedness (IR) personality to employees’ adaptive performance and the moderating effects of work–life balance in these relations. Six hundred and seventy-five Chinese employees participated in this study. The results indicated that the perseverance dimension of grit positively predicted all five dimensions of adaptive performance (i.e., handling work stress, training effort, interpersonal adaptability, reactivity in the face of emergencies, and creativity) at higher levels of work–life balance. The passion dimension of grit positively predicted creativity and reactivity in the face of emergencies regardless of work–life balance and positively predicted handling work stress only among those with high levels of work–life balance. Furthermore, IR positively predicted creativity, reactivity in the face of emergencies, training effort, and handling work stress regardless of work–life balance and positively predicted interpersonal adaptability only among the participants with low levels of work–life balance. Collectively, the findings suggest that individual differences in grit exhibit incremental validity for adaptive performance beyond IR personality. Furthermore, work–life balance should be considered in improving adaptive performance.
