Abstract Drawing upon social information processing theory, the present study aimed to examine the influence of rationality and sanction on employee proactive change behaviors, and the contingent effects of change frequency as well as gender was also factored in it. Results of HLM indicated that rationality had a positive effect on employee proactive change behavior while sanction was negatively related to it. Female employees were less sensitive to management tactics than male employees. Compared to female employees, the positive relation between rationality and male employees’ proactive change behavior were stronger. When change frequency was high, the negative effect of sanction was stronger, and the negative effect of sanction was much stronger for male employees compared to female employees.
