Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Work and career transitions can be exciting or troubling but are almost always stressful and typically require adaptation. Occupational adaptation refers to "the extent to which persons are able to develop, change in response to challenges, or otherwise achieve a state of well-being through what they do" (Kielhofner, 2008, p. 106). A person may experience a number of work transitions throughout the life span, requiring career adaptability and a wide range of occupational competencies. It is important to recognize that work transitions not only affect the worker but also the worker's family (Fouad & Bynner, 2008).
