Abstract
Although “school-to-work transition” has recently attracted considerable attention, most studies on this topic have conducted retrospective surveys. Some existing studies have recently focused on students’ experiences at university. However, the studies do not provide perspectives on effect of students’ experiences on proactive behavior. Therefore, this study focuses on proactive behavior at work that could be linked to outcomes of active learning at universities. Using surveys conducted over three years, form 2010 to 2013, and covariance structure analysis, this study investigates the effects of undergraduates’ learning behavior and student-life fulfillment on proactive behavior after joining their work organization. The data revealed that students who belong to an out-of-class community and who have a sense of fulfillment in their student life display a positive effect on their proactive behavior.
