As organizations grow increasingly complex and unpredictable, the
topic of proactivity at work has become of great importance for
contemporary workplaces. Proactivity drives performance and
innovation of teams and organizations and boosts individuals'
well-being and careers. When individuals are proactive, they use
their initiative at work to bring about a better future. They scan
for opportunities, persist until change is achieved, and take
charge to prevent problems' future reoccurrence. In this book,
leading scholars on proactivity from across North America, Europe,
Asia, and Australia explore how, why, and when individuals are
motivated to initiate change within their organizations or
themselves and examine the consequences of various forms of
proactivity at work. Individual chapters explore specific concepts
of proactivity, such as proactive voice, job crafting, and career
proactivity, as well as highlight individual processes and
organizational dynamics that underlie successful proactivity at
work. By providing insights on key advances and future directions
for proactivity theory, research, and practice, Proactivity at Work
synthesizes what we already know and identifies what we still need
to learn about making things happen at work. This book is relevant
to all those involved or interested in Work Psychology and
Business, including Human Resource Management scholars.

Job and Work Design equips readers with a sound understanding of research, theory, and the practical aspects of job design. This volume critiques the theory and research that provide the foundations of our current understanding of job design, pointing to a need for methodological improvements and a broader conceptual focus. The authors examine recent innovations in manufacturing technologies, techniques, and philosophies and how these affect work design and research and practice. The authors also look at wider trends in manufacturing and elsewhere, such as teleworking, downsizing, the development of a contingent workforce, and the changing composition of the workforce. The volume describes how the redesign of work has implications for wider organizational systems (such as human resources and information systems) as well as implications for multiple stakeholders (such as supervisors, support staff, management, and unions). In addition, it suggests ways to effectively manage the work redesign process, including key stages involved in redesigning work, some useful tools and methods, and the change agentĘs critical role. The book concludes with some final thoughts that draw together arguments regarding the past and future of work design theory and practice. Job and Work Design will be of interest to students and professors of management, organizational studies, industrial/organizational psychology, public administration, social and personality psychology, sociology of work, and gender issues.
