The study examined the adversity quotient to determine the organizational adaptation among office workers in Korea. Participants were 202 adults who work in general offices in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data were collected from August to October in 2013. Adversity quotient was measured using Stoltz's Adversity Quotient Profile(AQP) and Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were done. In result, adversity quotient was significantly related with emotional intelligency and resilience. Multiple regression revealed that adversity quotient emerged as the most significant predictor of organizational adaptation. Adversity Quotient Profile could be a useful tool to measure the capacity of overcoming the adversity and applied to develop the education contents or program strategies.
