The Role of Conscientiousness Personality and Authoritative Parenting in Students Proactive Behavior

For most students, college life means facing new challenges, leaving their original family residence, living independently, facing increased learning demands, and managing interpersonal communication. Students need to adapt actively to a new environment or engage in proactive behavior to complete the socialization process well. This is because students' experiences in college, both inside and outside the classroom, will have a significant impact on their success during college and beyond. This study aims to examine the role of conscientiousness personality and authoritative parenting in influencing students' proactive behavior.

Conscientiousness personality in this study plays the most role in students' proactive behavior, followed by authoritative parenting.
