Abstract
The present study investigated the mediating effect of job satisfaction and self-efficacy on the relationship between proactive personality and proactive work behavior. The study was conducted among public services in Tehran, with a statistical population of all public service employees (n=2891). A simple random sampling method was used to select 340 employees as the sample using the Cochran formula. The data collection tool was a combined researcher-designed questionnaire consisting of the MacCluskey (1974) Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Swank et al. (2019) Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and the Podsakoff et al. (1990) Work and Organizational Behavior Questionnaire. The instrument's validity and reliability have been confirmed in various studies. SmartPLS software was used to analyze the data. The results showed that proactive personality had a significant positive effect on proactive work behavior through job satisfaction (path coefficient = 0.72, t-score = 9.86) and self-efficacy (path coefficient = 0.60, t-score = 19.9). Additionally, proactive personality positively influenced proactive work behavior (t-score = 6.19), work behavior (t-score = 6.89), self-efficacy (t-score = 9.19), job satisfaction (t-score = 31.2), and work behavior through self-efficacy (t-score = 9.65).
