Empowering Employee Proactive Behaviour: An Introduction

Proactive employee behaviour refers to the attempt to improve existing conditions in the workplace or create new ones, as well as actions to change one's work environment, interpersonal relationships and socialisation behaviour instead of passively adapting to it. This book explores the role of proactive behaviour in employer/employee relations and in the wider context of the organization and society. It includes a comprehensive section that aims to provide a broad and descriptive perspective on the concepts of proactive behaviour and the research landscape. It examines areas including mental health, emotional management, disadvantaged employees, gender and queer-based perspectives, changes and conflict, sustainability, and non-profit organizations. Although proactive behavior is a desired behavior in business life, individuals who exhibit proactive behavior experience difficulties. For this reason, blind spots of proactive behavior are also handled in this book. At the same time, the topic of proactive behavior is examined in light of current developments.

This book is intended to be a comprehensive guide on the positive and negative organizational behavior issues of proactive behavior for academics, students, and managers, as well as those with a wider interest in organizational behaviour.
