“…A final aspect of adaptive performance discussed in the literature involves adapting to various physical factors such as heat, noise, uncomfortable climates, and difficult environments (e.g., Edwards & Morrison, 1984; Fiedler & Fiedler, 1975; Weinstein, 1978). Adapting quickly and effectively to different physical conditions is required in many different jobs (e.g., environmental sciences research jobs, foreign service jobs, law enforcement jobs, expedition and travel-related jobs), but this aspect of adaptive performance is becoming especially important within the military and related jobs.…”

The purpose of this research was to develop a taxonomy of adaptive job performance and examine the implications of this taxonomy for understanding, predicting, and training adaptive behavior in work settings. Two studies were conducted to address this issue. In Study 1, over 1,000 critical incidents from 21 different jobs were content analyzed to identify an 8-dimension taxonomy of adaptive performance. Study 2 reports the development and administration of an instrument, the Job Adaptability Inventory, that was used to empirically examine the proposed taxonomy in 24 different jobs. Exploratory factor analyses using data from 1,619 respondents supported the proposed 8-dimension taxonomy from Study 1. Subsequent confirmatory factor analyses on the remainder of the sample (n = 1,715) indicated a good fit for the 8-factor model. Results and implications are discussed.

“…Lastly, for Pulakos and colleagues, physical adaptability involves the ability to work in uncomfortable or difficult environments, involving, for example, heat and noise (Edwards & Morrison, ; Fiedler & Fiedler, ). As with the handling emergencies and crises dimension, the nature of the sample (military personnel) should be kept in mind.…”

Adaptive Performance: A New Scale to Measure Individual Performance in Organizations

As a component of overall employee performance, adaptive performance refers to the ability of an individual to change his or her behaviour to meet the demands of a new environment. The concept is relevant to firms that face especially complex and volatile business conditions. Research and practice have been hampered by a general lack of a widely available, psychometrically sound, multidimensional scale of adaptive performance that is applicable across a wide range of job contexts. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, we develop and evaluate a 19‐item scale measuring five dimensions of adaptive performance. Copyright © 2012 ASAC.

“…This factor is assumed to result in learned helplessness, cognitive fatigue, and a consequent loss of information processing capacity or even overarousal (Glass & Singer, 1972;Yerkes & Dodson, 1908). The effects of these impairments on verbal and behavioral reactions (Fiedler & Fiedler, 1975), the amplitude and latency of performance (Dimitrijevic, Michalewski, Zeng, Pratt, & Starr, 2008), spatial performance and learning (Gheraat et al, 2009), behavioral and pathological changes in diving mammals (Jepson et al, 2003;Malakoff, 2001;Talpalery & Grossman, 2005), psychomotor and learning tasks (Broadbent, 1979;Schmidt, 1999), and sports referees' decisions (Balmer, Nevill, Lane, Ward, Williams, & Fairclaugh, 2007;Nevill, Balmer, & Williams, 2002) are highly variable. In contrast, exposure to an appropriate amount of noise improves signal detection in stochastic resonance (Zeng, Fu, Morse, 2000), human hearing (Maes & de Groot, 2002), and the ability to encode temporal information (Maes & de Groot, 2002;Waye, 2003).…”

A wide range of animal and human investigations have tested the neurobiological and immunological aspects of noise. Few studies, however, have explored the behavioral characteristics of noise on neuromotor movements. To examine this correlation, we tested the effects of continuous intensive noise on retention and contextual transfer in a spatial memory task in adult male rats. The natural noise was recorded in a football stadium and set at high (HI), moderate (MI), and low (LI) intensities, levels corresponding to 86-90, 64-68, and 52-54 A-weighted decibels (dbA), respectively. Rats were trained in a Morris water maze for 3 consecutive days. On day 4, visible and probe tests were conducted under the same intensities. Retention was evaluated on day 7 with high-intensity noise exposure. The contextual transfer test was held on day 8 after exposure to 30-min highintensity noise. The escape latency and distance traveled were recorded and used for subsequent analyses. Our results showed significant increases in latency and distance traveled, attributable to increasing the noise intensity during the acquisition period. Additionally, performance in the LI group was significantly impaired in the retention test at the high intensity. In the contextual transfer test, results showed no significant increase except in the LI group, whereas a higher latency and distance traveled were found in the HI group. High-intensity noise appeared to damage the learning process. However, because the most robust results were found in the MI group, training with moderate-intensity noise can promote better performance under continuous highintensity noise.
