The current research aims to test the correlation and influence between high-involvement management and proactive work behavior. To achieve this, the Baghdad Governorate Council was chosen as a field for implementing the research. The research included two variables of high Involvement management across its sub-dimensions (development practices, rewards, information sharing, empowerment). In proactive work behavior through its dimensions (Taking Charge, employee voice, Personal initiatives), the research sample included (97) individuals from various departments working in the Baghdad Governorate Council. The questionnaire was used as a tool for collecting data, the data was analyzed, and results were drawn via the program (SPSS, AMOS) V23, using a set of statistical methods (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Pearson correlation coefficient, simple regression coefficient, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha).The most important findings of the research are that there is a good correlation and influence between the variable of high Involvement management and proactive work behavior, meaning that high Involvement management has an effective and strong role in increasing employees’ proactive behaviors and their personal initiatives in improving and developing work.
