Abstract

This article aims to develop a conceptual framework regarding the role of career adaptability in the relationship between Generation Z career management practices and alignment with corporate competency demands. The article is structured as a conceptual paper based on a directed literature review of key studies on career adaptability, organizational career management, person-job fit, person-organization fit, and skills mismatch. The synthesis indicates that career adaptability can be positioned as a psychosocial mechanism that helps Generation Z workers transform career management support into learning readiness, competency adjustment, and better job fit. The implication is that organizations need to integrate adaptability development into career management practices so that competency mismatch can be reduced more proactively.
