Proactive work behaviours: an update. 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.
