摘要：AbstractJob performance as a organizational behaviour is defined in the two categorizes of task performance and organizational citizenship behavior. To improve job performance concept, partiucallry in servicing jobs such as nursing, the construct of adaptive performance has been recently raised. The main aim of this study was to define the concept of adaptive performance and the second aim was to recognize the role of three important personality traits of self-efficacy, neuroticism, and openness to experience in predicting adaptive performance. Survey respondents include 210 hospital nurses that were selected by simple random sampling method. All the participants were asked to complete adaptive performance scale, NEO-Five Factor Inventory developed by Costa and McCrae, and self-efficacy scale. Results using correlation and regression modelling showed that there are positive and significant relationship between two personality traits of self-efficacy and openness to experience with adaptive performance. Moreover, the results of multiple regressions showed that openness to experience had the maximum portion in explaining adaptive performance variance. On the basis of the obtained results, we propose organizations to hold training programs and familiarize workers with adaptive performance concept, and provide a suitable context in order to actualize the adaptive behaviours.
