The Effects of Recruitment, Employee Selection, and On-The-Job Training on Employees’ Task Performance and Adaptive Performance

Abstract

Digital transformation requires organizations to have human resources who excel in task performance while also being flexible in adaptive performance. This study aims to analyze the integrated effects of recruitment, selection, and on-the-job training on employees’ task performance and adaptive performance. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via a questionnaire from 100 active employees in the Special Region of Yogyakarta through purposive sampling, then analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results show that recruitment, selection, and on-the-job training consistently have a positive and significant effect on task performance and adaptive performance, with selection being the most dominant factor in adaptive performance. This study explains 60.2% of the variance in task performance and 58.9% of the variance in adaptive performance. The implications are that companies need to optimize competency-based selection and implement continuous digital training. For future research, it is recommended to expand the sample scope across industries, adopt a longitudinal approach, and explore other variables such as motivation and employee engagement to enhance the generalizability of the results.
