Abstract

Adaptive performance is vital in this ever-changing working environment. What works 10 years ago no longer works in the current environment. Those who are not able to adapt to changes tend to fall behind and thus organizations have no option but to follow the flow of change as it goes. To do that, job requirements no longer solely rely on good results and being study-smart, one must be able to have their own personality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the roles of political skill towards white-collar employees’ adaptive performance in Malaysia. This study implemented judgement sampling by distributing questionnaires to those that are categorized as white-collar employees and from the distributed questionnaires, 124 valid responses were analyzed by using PLS-SEM software. The purpose of the analysis is to prove the significance of each dimension of political skill – networking ability, apparent sincerity, social astuteness, and interpersonal influence towards adaptive performance. The results of the analysis are discussed in this study.
