| Abstract | This study tested the moderation of tenure between affective commitment and proactive work behavior in Karachi, Pakistan. The method of gathering the data was primary research. The respondents were managers from the pharmaceutical, banking, education, and textile sector. The respondents were managers working as permanent employees in middle-level or senior-level management positions. The sample selection technique was nonprobability based in which a non-restricted sampling type was used. The sample size comprised of 1000 respondents, 250 from each sector but data from 697 respondents was usable in the analysis. The results showed that as the career progresses from the trial stage towards stabilization and ultimately towards the maintenance stage, employees are more emotionally committed with their organization and are keenly involved in proactive work behaviors. This study has inculcated the theoretical assumption that committed employees are creative and innovative and tend to demonstrate much more profound behaviors of proactivity than non-committed ones. |
