(2014): Tracking managerial conflict adaptivity. Introducing a dynamic measure of adaptive conflict management in organizations. In: Journal of Organizational Behavior 35 (7), S. 945-968. DOI: 10.1002/job.1935
Abstract: Since Darwin, adaptation to change has been associated with survival and fit. Yet, despite this, leaders and managers often get stuck in dominating approaches to conflict, and few scholars have examined the role of adaptation in managing conflicts effectively over time and across changing situations. The goal of this paper is threefold. First, we develop a new measure for assessing conflict adaptivity of managers [the Managerial Conflict Adaptivity Assessment (MCAA)], based on a situated model of conflict in social relations. We define conflict adaptivity as the capacity to respond to different conflict situations in accordance with the demands specified by the situation. The measure consists of 15 distinct work-conflict scenarios and provides five behavioral response options, which represent five primary strategies employed in conflict. Individuals who tend to respond to the conflicts in a manner consistent with the situations provided are considered to be more adaptive. Second, we test and find that managerial conflict adaptivity is related to higher levels of satisfaction with conflict processes at work as well as higher levels of well-being at work. Third, we test the MCAA's construct validity and provide evidence that the MCAA is positively related to behavioral flexibility and self-efficacy.

(2012): Entwicklung und Validierung eines Fragebogens zur Erfassung von „Adaptive Performance“. In: Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O 56 (2), S. 55-69. DOI: 10.1026/0932-4089/a000069
Abstract: The article deals with the development and validation of a questionnaire measuring adaptive performance (AP). AP is defined as behavior in reaction to changed work situations that promote the functioning of the organization. Consistent with our hypothesis the data reveal a two-dimensional structure for supervisor appraisals as well as for self-assessments, thereby distinguishing between a task oriented and a social focus of adaptivity. Two studies provide empirical evidence that AP is separable from in-role performance and explains specific variance in global performance appraisals of supervisors. Further validations reveal positive correlations of AP and the two traits flexibility and interpersonal skills, whereas, as anticipated, flexibility is higher correlated with task oriented AP, and interpersonal skills higher with social AP.

Abstract: Although the development of intrapersonal self-regulation and coping processes in adulthood has been elaborated and differenciated theoretically and empirically for a long time, to date little is known about potential developmental (pre-)conditions and antecedents of adaptive regulation competences in childhood and adolescence. Present approaches and studies about types of coping in childhood and adolescence focus on broader facets of regulation competences and are designed without any reference to adult coping reactions and the connected developmental processes. The research program presented in this article takes up this desideratum and provides answers to selected questions about the developmental conditions of individual adaptivity. With regard to the two-process-model of developmental regulation in adulthood (Brandtstadter & Rothermund, 2002), two extensive studies investigate miscellaneous social, cognitive, and affective developmental conditions of accommodation in adolescence. Subsequent to the results a first developmental model of accommodative regulation competences is finally proposed.
