Context and relevance. According to statistics from the Lens.org database, interest in the topic of proactivity is growing every year. However, it is worth noting that a unified understanding of this phenomenon has not yet emerged, which complicates its study. Objective. To develop a semantic field and its content for the concept of "proactivity." Hypothesis. Proactivity is a separate, independent psychological phenomenon. Methods and materials. Literary and terminological analysis. Results. Proactivity is understood either in the context of the work environment, as high employee productivity, or as coping behavior, or as a personal characteristic. The phenomena of agency, suprasituational activity, preadaptation, and subjectivity are not synonymous with proactivity, but can explain its formation. Conclusions. Proactivity is an independent psychological phenomenon. Existing concepts of proactivity fall into three categories: high employee productivity, coping behavior or a coping strategy, and characteristics of a psychologically mature individual. The key characteristics of proactivity, based on the definitions discussed, are: the ability to set and achieve long-term goals; a time perspective focused on the future; self-determination; independent, active actions aimed at transforming the environment and oneself for the better; initiative; and a positive emotional state. The concepts of agency and proactivity are somewhat similar in meaning, but are distinct phenomena. Agency emphasizes interpersonal interactions, unlike proactivity. Based on preadaptation theory, it can be assumed that proactivity represents either a qualitative leap in evolutionary development or one of the preparatory formations that will subsequently lead to a qualitative leap in evolutionary development. Trans-situational activity and proactivity are two distinct phenomena, distinguished by their level of awareness, the presence of goals, and the ultimate outcome. Subjectivity acts as the core of personality, while proactivity is its manifestation and consequence. The phenomenon of proactivity requires further study and development.
