(2) the intermediary effects of the mediating role of psychological capital between perceived service and adaptive performance. Utilizing a descriptive research design and questionnaires as the primary data collection tool, the study analyzed data from a random sample of 401 full-time tourism employees in Hainan Province. Statistical software, SPSS22.0 and AMOS22.0, is employed following established empirical research paradigms. The study recommends that tourism enterprises: 1. Create positive service climates. 2. Implement stress and crisis management training programs for employees. 3.
