Abstract

Dynamic capability has been widely recognized as a driver of organizational innovation and creativity. However, most studies conceptualize it at the collective or organizational level, providing limited explanation of how such capability emerges, develops, and operates within individuals. This study introduces a new concept of dynamic capability at the individual level, namely Reflective Reconfiguration Capability (RRC), which integrates dimensions of dynamic capability and social cognitive perspectives. We conducted a survey of 132 lecturers from private universities in Central Java, Indonesia. Measurement validity and reliability were examined through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The analyses identified 20 valid and reliable indicators that define RRC. These indicators collectively capture the reflective and adaptive processes by which individuals reconfigure their cognitive and behavioral resources to respond to dynamic challenges. The measurement scale demonstrated strong psychometric properties, supporting its applicability in higher education and potentially other organizational contexts. This study contributes to the human resource development and dynamic capability literature by advancing the understanding of how individual-level capabilities can shape organizational adaptability. RRC offers a novel lens to explain how lecturers, as knowledge workers, engage in reflective reconfiguration to foster innovation and resilience. The validated scale provides a foundation for future empirical studies and practical interventions aimed at enhancing individual and organizational performance in dynamic environments.
