Abstract [eng] The aim of the study – to examine organizational, social, job and personal resources that are related to and predict the types of employees' strategic, work and proactive person-environment fit behaviour. A total of 386 employees from various Lithuanian organizations were surveyed online. The present research confirmed positive value of organizational, social, job, and personal resources on proactive strategic, work and person-environment fit behaviours, but their significance varies; Proactive strategic behaviour is best predicted by participative leadership and autonomy at work, while personal resources – occupational self-efficacy and flexible role orientation – act as mediators for these factors predicting proactive strategic behaviour. Proactive work behaviour is best predicted by autonomy at work and proactive behaviour by colleagues, and the intermediate variables in these relationships are flexible role orientation, occupational self-efficacy, and low routine seeking. Proactive person-environment fit behaviour is best predicted by feedback, organization's innovation focus and occupational self-efficacy. All three types of proactive behaviour are predicted by personal resources – intrinsic motivation, work engagement, occupational self-efficacy, flexible role orientation and reduction of routine seeking tendencies. Employee age, position, and seniority in the organization are related to the expression of the types of proactive behaviour.
