In the context of the VUCA era,organizations and employees inevitably encounter crisis.In the face of crisis,employees may be at a loss and exhibit unadaptive behavior,or they may quickly adapt to changes and respond actively.Positive psychology,focusing on aiding employees in achieving favorable outcomes amidst crisis,highlights the constructive role of defensive pessimism.In this regard,based on the conservation of resources theory,this study explores how employee-experienced crisis affect adaptive performance and how defensive pessimism contributes to employees'response to crisis.This study collected a two-stage questionnaire of 331 employees,the regression analysis results show that employee-experienced crisis stimulates employees'job insecurity,subsequently reducing adaptive performance.Defensive pessimism weakens the negative impact of job insecurity on adaptive performance,and then weakens the negative impact of employee-experienced crisis on adaptive performance through job insecurity.This study not only theoretically broadens the research perspective to the positive role of defensive pessimism,but also provides practical implications for enhancing employees'adaptive performance in crisis.
