The authors consider how multiple dimensions of affect relate to individual proactivity. They conceptualized proactivity within a goal-regulatory framework that encompasses 4 elements: envisioning, planning, enacting, and reflecting. In a study of call center agents (N = 225), evidence supported the distinctiveness of the 4 elements of proactive goal regulation. Findings further indicated that high-activated positive mood was positively associated with all elements of proactive goal regulation, and low-activated negative mood was positively associated with envisioning proactivity. These findings were further supported in a longitudinal investigation of career-related proactivity amongst medical students (N = 250). The role of affective experience in proactivity is more nuanced than previously assumed.
作者探讨了影响的多个维度与个体主动性之间的关系。他们在一个包含四个要素的目标调节框架内对主动性进行了概念化：设想、规划、实施和反思。在一项对呼叫中心代理的研究中（N=225），证据支持了主动目标调节的四个要素的独特性。研究结果进一步表明，高激活的积极情绪与主动目标调节的所有要素呈正相关，而低激活的消极情绪与设想主动性呈正相关。在对医学生职业相关主动性的纵向研究中（N=250），这些发现得到了进一步支持。情感体验在主动性中的作用比之前假设的更为复杂。
