Abstract

The process of organisational adaptation represents one of the most important prerequisites for successful organisational behaviour. The paper uses a quantitative research method to analyse organisational and personal employee adaptation factors. Organisational factors are organisational support for new employees and for the existing ones, job embeddedness levels, while personal factors are attitude to change, empowerment at work and employee interpersonal adaptation in organisations. The instruments used in the research are: Оrganisational Readiness for Implementing Change ORIC, Perceived Organisational Support POS, Job Embeddedness Scale, Empowermеnt at Work Scale; Scale for Adaptive Performance, and issues related to employee demographic characteristics. The results of the research showed that the dimensions of competence and perceived organisational support are the most important factors of employee adaptation. Based on the analysis of predictors included in the regression model, statistically significant positive adaptation predictors are: Organisational Readiness for Implementing Change, Empowerment at Work, Competence and Perceived Organisational Support. Based on the research results, it is possible to design a model to improve employee organisational adaptation.
