Empowering, customizable, and backed by organizational research, this book introduces the PROACTIVE work design model and diagnostic tool to help organizations create optimal conditions for proactivity at work to flourish.
The pressures and expectations of 21st-century life have led to short-term, reactive behavior in the workplace, however, long-term business success relies on proactive behavior, which is self-directed, future-focused, and change-orientated. But proactivity does not occur in a vacuum - it is a complex, social process heavily affected by contextual and situational factors. With its distinct and flexible design model, this book solves the problem of 'how' to create the optimal conditions for proactivity at work to flourish, and to drive sustainability and competitive advantage. And its diagnostic feature recognizes that readers are time-pressured and may already be doing some things well within their organizations, so it offers a solution to their problems without having to read the entire book before they can start making a difference. Uniquely, this book recognizes how important it is for leaders to shape the work environment and to be a positive role model to stimulate employee proactive behavior.
Intended as a practical resource, this book provides a range of evidence-based tools and techniques and includes insightful case studies that will be useful for leaders, managers, HR professionals, OD practitioners, and consultants who want to drive proactive behaviors within their organizations.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Proactivity is more than each one of us doing things. Proactivity is about communities at work making things happen. This book is a practical and evidence-based guide to proactivity at work in ever more agile and complex meso and macro environments. I recommend this book to all managers, leaders, coaches, and HR practitioners.

Dr Hayley Lewis, Managing Director, HALO Psychology
A timely and comprehensive exploration of proactivity in the workplace with insightful, practical guidance. I welcomed the wide repertoire of relevant research evidence used to help us develop a better understanding of how individual, job, social, leadership, and organizational factors can enhance or inhibit proactivity. The mix of case studies, the PROACTIVE work design model, and other techniques make this book a useful toolkit for creating environments where proactive individuals can flourish.
