Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine proactive personality as an important component of organizational productivity in the manufacturing industry in Nigeria. From a population of 105 employees, a sample of 92 managers was drawn for the study. A total number of 92 copies of the questionnaire was distributed and fully returned which formed the basis for analysis. Data were generated through primary and secondary sources and analysed with the use of the Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient. It was revealed that proactive personality is a strong component of organizational productivity in the manufacturing industry in Nigeria. The paper, therefore, concluded that managers in the manufacturing industry should find appropriate employees with the right characteristics of proactive behaviour during the hiring process to be accepted as part of their in-role behaviour required for the fulfilment of their job requirements in order to achieve organizational productivity.
