Abstract
Adaptability is usually conceived as a psychological capacity that sustains adaptive behaviors, allowing one to face and manage stressors. It promotes adjustment between a person and its environment through a constant, dynamic, and dialectic interaction between them. Adaptability is conceptually and empirically distinct from dispositions such as personality or intelligence, but can be considered as a self-regulation process promoting an adequate person-environment fit (P-E fit), psychological health, and positive career-related outcomes, such as employability, employment, or work engagement. Adaptability evolves according to the circumstances and people can activate their adaptive abilities in adverse situations. Brief psychological interventions increase adaptability, which in turn improves employability and career success.
