Drawing on the transactional theory of stress and self-regulation theory, we propose a conceptual framework to examine how change frequency relates to approach or avoidance adaptations. Multiwave, multisource data from a matched sample of 424 subordinates and their supervisors indicate that (a) approach and avoidance crafting mediates the negative relationship between change frequency and adaptivity, (b) the need for human connection weakens the relationship between change frequency and approach–avoidance crafting, (c) the need for control strengthens the relationship between change frequency and approach–avoidance crafting, and (d) change frequency has a weakened (strengthened) indirect effect on adaptivity via approach crafting and avoidance crafting when employees have a high need for human connection (control). This study expands the research on job crafting and adaptivity and provides practical implications for organizations undergoing or soon to undergo changes.

借鉴压力的交易理论和自我调节理论，我们提出了一个概念框架来检查变化频率如何与方法或回避适应相关。来自 424 名下属及其上司的匹配样本的多波、多源数据表明，（a）方法和回避技巧调节了变化频率和适应性之间的负相关，（b）人际关系的需要削弱了变化频率和方法之间的关系——回避技巧，(c) 控制的需要加强了改变频率和接近-回避技巧之间的关系，以及 (d) 当员工有很高的需求时，改变频率通过接近技巧和回避技巧对适应性的间接影响减弱（加强）用于人际联系（控制）。
