Does Proactivity Matter at Work?

Proactivity continues to be a major research discussion in the field of organisational psychology, with increasing studies on proactive personality, goals, and behaviour appearing in top-tier journals since 2000. Scholars and practitioners agree that being proactive is distinctive and vital now more than it has ever been due to the dynamic nature of work environment. Is proactivity worth viewing as a superpower at work?

Professor Wing Lam will address her scholarly trajectory in this research domain and current thinking on proactivity, aiming to make connections with scholars and practitioners that might lead to future collaborations.

This event is facilitated by Hongwei He, Chair Professor of Marketing and School Director for Social Responsibility at Alliance Manchester Business School.
