Future work self salience: A systematic review and future research agenda
With the transformational shift in the ownership of careers, individuals have become the primary actors in managing their careers. Owing to this, it has become imperative for working individuals to engage in various career development behaviors proactively. To understand the motivation behind these proactive behaviors, the construct of future work self‐salience (FWSS) was introduced in the literature a decade ago. FWSS reflects the extent to whic…
Let it go and embrace something new: How goal reengagement capacities moderate the effect of interacting with artificial intelligence on career optimism
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering the workplace, changing the way people work and affecting their careers. This integration raises critical questions about the capabilities employees need to maintain a positive outlook on the rise of AI and the future of their career. We explore how goal reengagement capacities shape the impact of human-AI interaction. In two experimental studies, we develop a moderated mediation model in which goa…
The impact of positive work relationships on proactive behaviors: A multilevel study
This paper proposes and then tests a cross‐level model pertaining to the intrapersonal and collective antecedents of work‐related proactive behaviors. The model posits individual‐level positive relational experiences and unit‐level relational coordination as social contextual antecedents of individual‐level proactive behaviors. The effects of these mechanisms are hypothesized to be mediated respectively by individual‐level role breadth self‐effic…
How future work self salience shapes the effects of interacting with artificial intelligence
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of work, leaving individuals wondering what AI means for the future of their career. The current research investigates the moderating role of future work self salience (FWSS) on the effect of interacting with AI on perceived control over one's future work self and proactive career behavior. In a first longitudinal experiment with full-time employees in the UK ( N = 174), par…
Creating meaning by taking initiative: Proactive work behavior fosters work meaningfulness
We argue that proactive work behavior's future orientation allows individuals to establish a connection with the future and thus to experience their work as meaningful. We further expect that this effect is enhanced when individuals are faced with an unpredictability of the future in their core job. We tested our hypotheses in three independent studies with employees. We first established the effect of proactive work behavior on work meaningfulne…
The relationship between leisure activities and psychological resources that support a sustainable career: The role of leisure seriousness and work-leisure similarity
While leisure plays an increasingly important role in individuals' lives, little is known about its potential to influence career sustainability. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we investigate whether investing extra time into leisure will have a positive or negative impact on career sustainability by either generating or depleting resources. Specifically, we examine the effects of time spent on leisure on the career-related re…
Fifty shades of green: How microfoundations of sustainability dynamic capabilities vary across organizational contexts
Because making progress on sustainability‐related challenges will require organizational change for most organizations, understanding sustainability dynamic capabilities is of utmost importance. In this theoretical paper, we aim to identify the microfoundations of such sustainability dynamic capabilities on the one hand but, consistent with recent work in this research stream, we do so in a way that is sensitive to the dynamism of the organizatio…
Future work selves: How salient hoped-for identities motivate proactive career behaviors.
The term future work self refers to an individual's representation of himself or herself in the future that reflects his or her hopes and aspirations in relation to work. The clearer and more accessible this representation, the more salient the future work self. An initial study with 2 samples (N = 397; N = 103) showed that future work self salience was distinct from established career concepts and positively related to individuals' proactive car…
Making Things Happen: A Model of Proactive Motivation
Being proactive is about making things happen, anticipating and preventing problems, and seizing opportunities. It involves self-initiated efforts to bring about change in the work environment and/or oneself to achieve a different future. The authors develop existing perspectives on this topic by identifying proactivity as a goal-driven process involving both the setting of a proactive goal (proactive goal generation) and striving to achieve that…
