| Summary: | Substantial evidence exists on the desirable consequences of proactive work behavior, and this strongly necessitated empirical search for plausible precursor of the behavior. Therefore, this study assessed the relationship between proactive personality (PP) and proactive work behaviour, (PWB) and the moderation role of creative self-efficacy (CSE) in the relationship. The sample comprises 245 non-teaching staff of three public tertiary institutions in Delta State, Nigeria. The participants consisted of 59% females, 41% males with age mean of 37 years (SD .75). This study is quantitative, employed cross-sectional design and collected data with self-administered survey. Established scales used for this study are: PP (Claes, Beheydt & Lemmens, 2005), CSE (Karwowski, Lebuda, & Wiśniewska, 2018) and PWB (Griffin, Neal, & Parker, 2007). Regression analysis anchored on PROCESS Macro (Hayes, 2018) was applied on the data. Results indicate that PP and CSE positively predicted PWB, and that PP explained greater variance than CSE in PWB. More so, interaction statistics revealed that CSE moderated the relationship between PP and PWB. The findings lead to the plausible conclusion that PP and CSE are valuable in improving PWB.
