While scholars have paid increasing attention to the role of proactive behavior in organizations, there is a paucity of research on the antecedents and mediating mechanisms of proactive behavior. To fill this gap, our study aims to examine the relationship between job autonomy and proactive behavior as well as the mediating role of person-job fit in this relationship. More specifically, our study focuses on innovative behavior, voice behavior, and taking charge as three critical forms of proactive behavior. We predicted positive relationships between job autonomy and the three forms of proactive behavior. Furthermore, we proposed that these relationships would be mediated by person-job fit To test these hypotheses, we collected survey-based data from 169 employee- supervisor dyads in ten Korean firms. The results of hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that job autonomy was significantly associated with innovative behavior, voice behavior, and taking charge. As predicted, we found significant relationships between job autonomy and person-job fit and between person-job fit and the three forms of proactive behavior. In addition, person-job fit significantly mediated the relationships between job autonomy and the three forms of proactive behavior. These findings provide meaningful implications for theory and practice
