Effect of proactive personality on career adaptability of higher vocational college students: the mediating role of college experience

For higher vocational students, the college stage is an important period in their career development, and the college experience plays an important role in the relationship between their proactive personality and career adaptability, which in turn has a significant impact on their future career development. From the perspective of social cognitive career theory and taking 476 vocational students as samples, this paper explores the mediating role of college experience between proactive personality and career adaptability of vocational college students. The college experience scale is revised for higher vocational students, and it is verified to have good reliability and validity. SPSS and Amos were used to conduct correlation analysis，and the PROCESS macro was used for mediating effect analysis. The results show that the college experience of vocational students plays a partial mediating role in the effect of proactive personality on career adaptability. This work innovatively uses social cognitive career theory to explore the role of college experience in the relationship between proactive personality and career adaptability among vocational students. The theoretical models are established and empirical verification is conducted, confirming that higher vocational students’ college experience can affect their career adaptability. These results provide empirical evidence for vocational colleges to improve the career guidance of college students, and intervention measures are proposed to enhance students’ career adaptability during school years, thus promoting their sustainable development.

Increase Entrepreneurial Intentions: Proactive Personality, Entrepreneurship Education, and Academic Support as Predictors

This study conceptualizes entrepreneurship education and academic support as a moderator to understand the mechanism of the relationship between proactive personality and student entrepreneurial intentions. This study proposes a different proactive personality model as a variable influencing students' entrepreneurial intentions, with entrepreneurship education and academic support as a moderating variable. This influence model has never been studied, especially in Semarang. Some previous researchers tend to explore the influence of these factors separately. Observations from 192 students at ten universities in Semarang were used to test the hypothesized model. The study used a quota sampling technique and data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires. The effect moderation model was tested using tiered regression analysis, with the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) interaction test. The results showed that the effect of proactive personality and entrepreneurial intentions of students was stronger when entrepreneurship education and academic support were included in the interaction. These findings are consistent with existing theory and studies. In addition, as a managerial implication, this study provides advice to tertiary institutions as educational institutions to consider proactive personality, entrepreneurship education, and academic support as necessary factors to encourage student interest in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship teaching methods should also be explored further.

THE ROLE OF ORGANIZATION-BASED SELF-ESTEEM IN THE EFFECT OF PROACTIVE PERSONALITY ON JOB CRAFTING

The aim of this study is to reveal how and in which direction organization-based self-esteem is effective in the effect of proactive personality on job crafting within the framework of a predictive and creative personality. In this study, a total of 1067 data were collected from 655 and 412 participants in two time periods by survey with quantitative research method. According to the results of this study, which were collected in different time periods, a proactive personality affects job crafting in the same direction and significantly. In this effect, organization-based self-esteem can play both a partial mediator and a moderator role. The results of the study showed that proactive thinking is important and meaningful for employees to have self-esteem on the basis of the organization in crafting their work. In this context, suggestions have been made for practitioners and academics.

Predicting well-being at work during Covid-19: Examining the incremental validity of core self-evaluations and the mediating effect of perceived strengths use

The Covid-19 pandemic affected work dynamics across economies, creating a need to map which individual and job-related resources organizations should rely on to support their workforce in dealing with challenging job demands, while preserving positive levels of performance and well-being. The current study is carried out with this purpose and empirically tests whether core self-evaluations play a relevant role over proactive personality in predicting occupational well-being, operationalized through thriving at work. Results from a sample of N = 94 incumbents from different jobs and organizations, surveyed during the fourth wave of the pandemic, revealed that core self-evaluations yield a significant contribution to predicting thriving, over proactive personality. Mediation analyses showed that core self-evaluations impact upon this criterion via perceived strengths use, both directly and indirectly, when the effects of proactive personality are accounted for. Major implications for human resources management in the Covid-19 pandemic and analogous work crises are discussed.

Relationships between proactive personality, work locus of control, and vocational satisfaction: the role of level of education

In this study, we examine the relationships between proactive personality, work locus of control, and vocational satisfaction. Moreover, we argue that these relationships vary depending on employees’ levels of education (i.e., employees with academic degrees versus without academic degrees). Drawing on Trait Activation Theory, we expected more pronounced relationships of proactive personality and work locus of control with vocational satisfaction for employees with academic degrees. We collected data of N = 2068 employees with a broad range of occupational backgrounds to test our assumptions. A partial disaggregation model revealed that both proactive personality and work locus of control were positively related to vocational satisfaction and that these relationships differed depending on the level of education. Regarding the relationship between proactive personality and vocational satisfaction, we only found evidence among employees with academic degrees. Although work locus of control and vocational satisfaction were significantly related among both groups of employees, the relationship was even more pronounced among employees without academic degrees. Consequently, our results underline the importance of taking inter-individual differences, such as the level of education, into consideration when looking at the effects of proactive personality and work locus of control on work-related well-being.

The Mediating Role of Leader-Member Exchange on the Effect of Proactive Personality on Work Outcomes: A Research on Private Security Personnel

Bu çalışma proaktif kişiliğin iş çıktıları üzerindeki etkisinde lider-üye etkileşiminin aracı etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Literatürde çoğunlukla proaktif kişiliğin olumlu iş çıktılarına etkileri incelenmiştir. Çevresini etkilemek için inisiyatif kullanma eğiliminde olan proaktif kişiliğe sahip çalışanlar, olumsuzluklardan daha az proaktif özelliklere sahip çalışanlara göre daha yüksek oranda etkilenecektir. Bu bağlamda proaktif kişilik özelliklerine sahip çalışanların örgütün etkinliğine katkı sunmalarında ve olumsuzluklardan daha az etkilenmelerinde liderlerin rolü, lider ile takipçilerin uyumu ve lider-üye etkileşiminin kalitesi önemli bir etkendir. Proaktif kişiliğin olumsuz iş çıktıları üzerinde etkisi kapsamında işten ayrılma niyeti ile tükenmişlik alt boyutlarından duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve kişisel başarı hissi azalması alt boyutları bu çalışmada değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında Ankara’da bir özel güvenlik firmasında çalışan 116 özel güvenlik personeline olasılığa dayalı olmayan kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile anket uygulanmıştır. Anket sonuçları SPSS 24 ve AMOS 24 programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda proaktif kişilik ile lider-üye etkileşimi arasında pozitif etki varken, proaktif kişiliğin ve lider-üye etkileşiminin kişisel başarı hissi azalması üzerinde negatif etkisi tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte proaktif kişiliğin kişisel başarı hissi azalması alt boyutu üzerindeki etkisinde lider-üye etkileşiminin kısmi aracılık etkisi tespit edilmiştir.  

From COVID-19 Pandemic to Entrepreneurial Behavior: The Mediating Effect of Proactive Personality and the Moderating Role of Anticipated Regret.

COVID-19 is a global public health issue that poses a challenge to the education sector. The pandemic has a devastating impact on student entrepreneurial behavior and their mental health.

The Effect of Proactive Personality on Creativity: The Mediating Role of Feedback-Seeking Behavior

While the effects of a proactive personality on creativity have been well established, the behavioral mechanism underlying this relationship remains poorly understood. This study suggests the salience of the mediating mechanism of feedback-seeking behavior in explaining the process by which proactive individuals can perform creative outcomes. Specifically, based on the two axes—the types (inquiry vs. monitoring) and the methods (frequency vs. breadth)—this study proposes that four methods of feedback-seeking behavior (frequency of feedback inquiry, breadth of feedback inquiry, frequency of feedback monitoring, and breadth of feedback monitoring) mediate the relationship between the proactive personality and creativity. The results, which are based on data collected from 367 individuals across Korean companies, reveal that the proactive personality has a significant indirect effect on creativity via two methods only: frequency of inquiry and frequency of monitoring. Finally, this study represents a theoretical and practical contribution to academic research on creativity and proactivity in the workplace.

Employment stress as a moderator of the relationship between proactive personality and career decision-making self-efficacy

We investigated the moderating role of employment stress in the relationship between proactive personality and career decision-making self-efficacy among recent Chinese graduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main results are as follows: (a) proactive personality positively predicted career decision-making self-efficacy, (b) employment stress was negatively related to proactive personality and career decision-making self-efficacy, and (c) employment stress significantly and negatively moderated the effect of proactive personality on career decision-making self-efficacy, meaning that the moderating effect was stronger at a lower level of employment stress. The results indicate that students graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic are more prone to suffering from complex career decisionmaking processes exacerbated by a challenging and changing labor market. Our findings suggest that graduates should secure flexible employment options and that officials, staff, and managers in governments, universities, and industries should work together to enhance graduates' career decision-making self-efficacy and assist them in achieving their early career aspirations by alleviating internal and external employment pressure.
