The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nature of adaptive performance as a performance criterion in organizations. Since adaptation can be found in different levels of organizations, a critical question for researchers is how individual adaptive performance (AP) contributes to team-level adaptive performance. Following from a multilevel perspective, this study conceptualizes team AP as a bottom-up emergent process out of individual AP. Also, cross-level effects are posited, such that team characteristics (learning climate and team efficacy) will moderate the influence of proactive learning activity (continuous learning) on individual AP. Results largely supported a composition model of team AP, and team climate and continuous learning had independent direct effects on individual AP. The main contribution of this study is a new conceptualization of performance within a framework of multilevel theory and analysis. By specifying the individual-team relationships in an emerging performance construct, the results of this research avoid errors of misspecification in utilizing individual-level data to estimate a higher-level construct. Suggestions for future research and practical implications were also provided.
