人们普遍将就业视为日常生活的一个重要方面。然而，工作环境中存在一些挑战，可能会影响他们的生产力和健康。因此，个人能够灵活适应不断变化的环境至关重要（Brown & Lent，2016）。公共部门的员工面临着各种影响的挑战，例如，在南非的水和卫生部门，员工面临着不稳定的处境，如治理不善、经济状况不稳定、服务交付差、工作角色模糊和职业不确定性（Brown & Lent，2016）。这导致员工获得新的技能和能力，使他们能够为全球商业市场做出贡献。职业适应性可以被视为心理社会资源和有助于更好地理解职业行为的基本结构，在职业行为中，个人在一生中不断适应不断变化的个人需求和环境需求（Ambiel，De Carvalho，Martins，＆Tofoli，2016；Duffy，2010；Savicas，2012；Tolentino等，2014）。
People generally regard employment as an important aspect of their everyday life. However, several challenges exist in the work environment that may impact both their productivity and their health. Accordingly, it is vital that individuals are able to adapt resourcefully in a changing environment (Brown & Lent, 2016). There are various challenges that affect employees in the public sectors, for example, in the Water and Sanitation Department in South Africa, employees are exposed to precarious situations such as poor governance, volatile economic conditions, poor service delivery, ambiguous job roles and career uncertainty (Brown & Lent, 2016). This has resulted in employees acquiring new skill and competencies to enable them to contribute to the global business market. Career adaptability may be regarded as psychosocial resources and a cardinal construct useful for having a better understanding of vocational behaviour in which individuals continually adapt throughout life in the ever-changing personal needs and environmental demands (Ambiel, De Carvalho, Martins, & Tofoli, 2016; Duffy, 2010; Savickas, 2012; Tolentino et al., 2014).
