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.
