研究180名专业人士，发现主动性人格通过特定行为和情境因素影响职业成功，帮助理解主动者如何在职业生涯中领先。
The article looks at a study of 180 professionals which developed and tested a model linking proactive personality to career success. The study was conducted by Scott Seibert and Maria Kraimer from the University of Illinois at Chicago and J. Michael Crant from the University of Notre Dame. Specific behaviors and contextual factors that act as intervening mechanisms between personality and career progression were examined. The study was designed to determine how a proactive personality can shape career progression over time, helping researchers to understand the processes by which proactive people forge ahead in their careers. Crant, Seibert, and Kraimer sent questionnaires containing a well-known proactive personality scale to randomly chosen business and engineering alumni of a large university to procure data.
