Uses attachment theory to provide a new theoretical lens through which readers can understand employees’ proactive behaviour.What makes some people more likely to initiate positive change within their organizations? Can this behaviour be influenced by management? Employee proactivity has largely been understood in terms of employees changing their environment or changing themselves. In this novel study Wu offers an alternative lens through which to examine such behaviour – the concept of attachment theory. Wu integrates the current understanding of motivational factors in shaping proactive workers, through his introduction to attachment theory, and development of it as a theoretical framework. This compelling approach provides academics with a new way of thinking about employee behaviour while also acting as a guide for practitioners and managers.Employee Proactivity Introduction to Attachment Theory: Behavioural System and Individual Differences Introudction to Attachment Theory: Social Contexts and Changeability A Behavioural System Model of Proactivity Individual Differences in and Situational Impact on Employee Proactivity Implications for Employee Proactivity Research
