description | The term proactivity designates a set of self-motivated, future-oriented and change-oriented behaviors. The current study provides a systematic bibliographic review on proactivity, framed methodologically in bibliometric analysis and content analysis. Specialized bases were examined, obtaining 82 scientific publications corresponding to the 2007-2017 period. The most relevant findings indicate: (a) empirical, quantitative and transversal research of Australian, German and North American origins prevails, with scarce presence of Latin American studies; (b) predominates a behavioral and multidimensional proactivity perspective; (b) proactive behaviors are associated with higher productivity, commitment and job satisfaction, although under certain conditions adverse outcomes may develop; (c) among its antecedents are cognitive, affective and instrumental features as well as contextual factors; (d) several self-descriptive instruments are available to measure the construct. The article concludes with some considerations and suggestions for future studies in the area. |

El término proactividad designa un conjunto de conductas auto-motivadas, centradas en el futuro y orientadas al cambio. El presente trabajo proporciona una revisión bibliográfica sistemática sobre proactividad, enmarcándose metodológicamente en el análisis bibliométrico y el análisis de contenido. Se examinaron bases especializadas obteniéndose 82 publicaciones científicas correspondientes al período 2007-2017. Los hallazgos más relevantes indican que: (a) prevalecen investigaciones empíricas, cuantitativas y transversales, de origen australiano, alemán y norteamericano, con escasa presencia de estudios latinoamericanos; (b) impera una concepción situacional y multidimensional de la proactividad; (b) los comportamientos proactivos se asocian a mayor productividad, compromiso y satisfacción laboral, aunque bajo ciertas condiciones pueden desarrollarse resultados adversos; (c) entre sus antecedentes se encuentran tanto rasgos cognitivos, afectivos e instrumentales como factores contextuales; (d) se dispone de diversos instrumentos auto-descriptivos para medir el constructo. El artículo concluye con algunas consideraciones finales y sugerencias para futuros estudios sobre la temática.
