Abstract

This research aims to explore the relationship between adaptive performance and career success of university teachers in Tunisia. Adaptive performance, defined as the ability to maintain or improve effectiveness under changing or uncertain conditions, is crucial for university teachers facing dynamic environments shaped by new economic, digital, and social challenges. Career success, on the other hand, can be evaluated through objective indicators and subjective ones. To analyse these interactions, we conducted an exploratory study involving 29 teachers from various higher education institutions. The results reveal a dynamic feedback relationship between adaptive performance and career success, highlighting a mutual influence where each dimension reinforces the other. Additionally, the importance of institutional support is emphasised, particularly through research structures, university administrations, the Ministry of Higher Education, and initiatives such as student entrepreneur hubs. These elements are essential for fostering effective adaptive performance, developing adaptive skills, and ultimately achieving sustainable career success.
