Abstract

Much of the work in organizations is adaptive: it entails deviations from routines to adjust to the changing contexts. Despite this, the dynamics of adaptive work have been underexplored. Therefore, we explore adaptive work as a micro-dynamic of organizational adaptability through the focus on symbols individuals use in their work.
