Abstract:

Proactive individuals actively create environmental change. In today’s challenging times several factors
can be a cause for concern for a proactive employee’s career future. The purpose of the present study
was two-fold: propose and test a conceptual model; test the mechanism by which extrinsic factors—
managerial communication, job performance and intrinsic factors—job satisfaction intent to remain with
the organization, affect the relationship between proactive personality and career future. The conceptual
model exhibited a robust fit. Both managerial communication and intent to remain were strong predictors
of career future. The results also supported the mediating framework of all the four factors. Implications
for organizations and future research are discussed.
