Abstract: Abstract The spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has significantly influenced human resource management and organizational behavior. A lack of adaptability and failure to find solutions to change might be a leadership weakness. In the context of the pandemic in particular, and the crisis in general, the traditional leadership style has become inactive. Organizations should use an adaptive leadership style to respond to changes in the business environment. The following are research questions: What are the primary functions of an adaptive leadership style? What are the roles of adaptive leaders? Through what aspects is the career adaptability of employees demonstrated? This exploratory study is based on the author’s observations and literature analysis in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. We provide a theoretical framework of the adaptive leadership competencies required in times of crisis, offering several useful implications for human resource development practitioners.
