The aspects of job autonomy, organizational management support and self-efficacy were investigated as possible explanations of existence of proactive work behavior in an organization. In this research, the organization was composed of public universities in Uganda. Because of their prominence in the tertiary education in Uganda, Makerere University, Makerere University Business School and Kyambogo University were selected to represent the other public universities in Uganda.

Using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) formula, 333 respondents were considered to form the sample of the study from all the three universities. Cross-sectional research design was followed when carrying out the study. Correlation and regression analyses were carried out to be able to respond to the research inquiries in relation to this study. The analyses conducted indicated that there was a positive and significant relationship between job autonomy and self-efficacy, organizational support and self-efficacy, self-efficacy and proactive work behavior, job autonomy and proactive work behavior as well as organizational support and proactive wok behavior amongst lecturers of public universities in Uganda. Basing on these findings, it is recommended that lecturers in public universities in Uganda need to be given considerable degree of job autonomy as well as organizational support.
