Abstract
Background & Purpose: Currently, development banks are experiencing a very unique situation. A position that is accompanied by maximum competition on the one hand, and on the other hand, is pregnant with changes more than ever in interaction with its surrounding environment. Considering the critical position of these banks in the country's development, it is necessary for their managers to perform proactive role. Based on this, the present research has presented the proactive model of development bank managers.
Methodology: The present study, based on the philosophy of constructivism, while adopting an inductive approach, followed the implementation of a qualitative research; In this way, the strategy of grounded theory (systematic approach) was specially chosen and the data were collected cross-sectionally and through semi-structured interviews. The participants were selected from academic experts (with doctorate degrees in human resource management and organizational behavior) and managers of development banks through initial (purposive) and theoretical sampling and the interviews continued until theoretical saturation (16 interviews).
Findings: Based on data analysis, 77 concepts were identified under 27 sub-categories and 14 main categories. Managers' proactive behavior is based on self-initiative, future study and change orientation and is a result of their motivational states. In such a way that individual, occupational and organizational factors flowed through the mentioned situations and the social culture and the value of the proactive goal have an effect on its effectiveness. The above-mentioned behavior has been developed under two categories of actions based on change and based on adaptation, which ultimately has individual, team and organizational consequences.
Conclusion: The findings of the present research, while drawing a comprehensive model of proactivity, sensitized the minds of the studied community to important matters such as decision-making about sensitive managerial positions, job design and the atmosphere governing the organization. Correspondingly, it identified areas for the formation of future researches and suggested them to the audience of the scientific community.
