Proactivity
refers to the tendency of proactively proposing solutions, actively seeking feedback,
and actively innovating. Proactivity is very important for the development of individuals,
organizations and even governments and countries. Since the scholar Liu Mi and others
reviewed the research on employee’s proactive personalities in 2007, other scholars have
published dozens of proactive researches, based on different theoretical perspectives,
in well-known journals.
This paper reviews the development of proactivity, analyses its formation and mechanism
and further proposes the direction, magnitude and prospect of future research, regarding
those countries, governments and individuals who make things happen, those who watch
things happen and those who ask after things happen, what happened?
