Zusammenfassung

Proaktives Verhalten beschreibt selbststartende, veränderungs- und zukunftsorientierte Handlungen, die darauf ausgerichtet sind, das berufliche Umfeld positiv zu beeinflussen. Empirische Befunde belegen die positive Bedeutung proaktiven Verhaltens für das Individuum, seine berufliche Laufbahnentwicklung und den Gesamterfolg von Organisationen. Führungskräfte können das proaktive Verhalten ihrer Beschäftigten fördern, indem sie vollständige Arbeitsaufgaben übertragen, eine gute Austauschbeziehung gestalten sowie positive Beispiele für Eigeninitiative und Verantwortungsübernahme etablieren.
