Abstract

The global wave of digital transformation brings new opportunities and challenges for employees' adaptive performance. Drawing on Conservation of Resources theory and Social Cognitive Theory, this study examines how employees' openness to digital transformation affects adaptive performance and the mechanisms at play. Using questionnaire data from 431 employees in typical digital transformation industries in Guangdong Province, we conduct an empirical analysis. The results show that openness to digital transformation has a significant positive effect on adaptive performance. Job crafting mediates the relationship between openness to digital transformation and adaptive performance. Further, learning goal orientation positively moderates the link between openness to digital transformation and job crafting, strengthening the indirect effect of openness on adaptive performance through job crafting. In sum, there is a moderated mediation effect.
