Abstract

The contemporary work environment is characterized by rapid change, uncertainty, and increasing complexity, requiring employees to demonstrate strong adaptive performance, particularly during early career transitions. In Indonesia, the growing interest of university graduates in careers within the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) creates unique challenges, as young employees must adapt simultaneously to bureaucratic structures, organizational expectations, and public service demands. This study aims to analyze the theoretical foundations of adaptive performance in early career transitions by integrating the perspectives of learning goal orientation, career adaptability, identity threats, and the Indonesian government career context. This research employed a qualitative approach using an integrative literature review design. Data were collected from scholarly articles, academic books, government reports, and empirical studies indexed in reputable databases, such as Scopus and Google Scholar. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis and integrative synthesis techniques to identify relationships among key concepts and contextual factors influencing adaptive performance. The findings indicate that learning goal orientation plays a significant role in strengthening career adaptability, buffering transition shocks, supporting identity construction, and enhancing resilience among early-career employees. In addition, organizational support, mentoring systems, and an adaptive bureaucratic culture significantly influence successful career transitions. This study concludes that adaptive performance in the Indonesian government sector is shaped by the interaction between individual motivational orientation, organizational context, and identity management processes, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and supportive talent management systems.

Abstract

Adaptive performance is a critical competency for employees navigating rapidly changing organizational environments; however, its theoretical foundations during early career transitions, particularly in government settings, remain underdeveloped. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this systematic review aimed to identify, synthesize, and evaluate evidence on adaptive performance during early career transitions, with a focus on learning goal orientation as an antecedent, career adaptability as a mediating resource, and the contextual influences of identity threat and bureaucratic structures within the public sector. Searches of Scopus and Semantic Scholar using the search string (("Adaptive Performance" OR "Learning Goal Orientation") AND Career) identified 209 records. After removing 50 duplicate records and screening 159 unique records, 42 studies were included in the final synthesis. Four thematic clusters emerged: (1) learning goal orientation as a dispositional antecedent of adaptability and performance; (2) career construction and self-concept mechanisms; (3) identity threat as a contextual moderator during early career entry; and (4) structural and cultural characteristics of government careers. Learning goal orientation consistently demonstrated a positive association with adaptive performance, primarily through the mediating role of career adaptability. Adaptive performance during early career transitions in government contexts is a dynamic, multidimensional outcome shaped by individual motivation, career construction processes, social support, and institutional constraints. Future research should prioritize longitudinal research designs, cross-cultural validation in emerging economies, and evidence-based interventions aimed at strengthening learning goal orientation
