Abstract(s)
nnovation has emerged as a key work outcome for modern organizations. The pre‐
sent paper answers recent calls from several researchers for further empirical re‐
search on the validity of personality variables for predicting individual innovative
performance. More specifically, it is focused on the validity of proactive personality.
Using a sample of 170 software engineers and their direct supervisors from a multi‐
national information technology firm, we found that this individual disposition repre‐
sents a valid and meaningful predictor of individual innovative performance, when
assessed through supervisor ratings. Further analyses have also shown that proactive
personality remains a significant predictor of this criterion, when the big five factors
of personality are taken into account. Theoretical and practical implications of these
findings are presented and discussed.
