<![CDATA[This research examines how self-leadership and trait emotional intelligence influence adaptive performance with work engagement serving as a mediator among distance education lecturers in Indonesia. Data obtained from 234 lecturers in an Indonesian cross-institutional distance learning environment were examined using PLS-SEM. The findings demonstrate that work engagement positively affect adaptive performance, while self-leadership and trait emotional intelligence positively affect both work engagement and adaptive performance. Additionally, work engagement significantly explains part of the link between self-leadership and adaptive performance but not significantly transmit the effect of trait emotional intelligence. The finding indicates that self-leadership and trait emotional intelligence function as distinct yet complementary personal resources for adaptive performance through various pathways. The study extends the JD_R model by demonstrating that the-resource-engagement-performance process varies across personal resources. The results practically provide insights for remote education institutions to build professor development programs that enhance personal resources and assist lecturer’s ability to adjust to changing work demands.]]>
