The purpose of the study was to clarify what kind of impacts athletic club activities in university days have on job hunting and early stage career development around the 3rd year of employment through qualitative analysis, laying the concept of proactive as an analysis framework. The study interviewed Mr. A in the 3rd year of employment who belonged to an athletic club in his university days and started working after graduating from the first stage of the doctoral program. The interview revealed that Mr. A first found significance in having aspiration from his successful experience of getting into the college he had wanted to go after preparing for the entrance examination after failure in his first trial. So, he joined a triathlon club, which is one of athletic clubs, and proactively addressed organizational reform of the club and formed an organization which had not been established yet. Next, he worked on job hunting at his own responsibility and selected and joined a company in which he can utilize his specialized knowledge. After joining the company, he was assigned to the desired department where his strengths such as aggressiveness and leadership were highly evaluated in character evaluation. Furthermore, he is participating in corporate sports activities, deepening friendship with colleagues, and is positively involved in social contribution activities of the company. In this way, he is now living a fulfilling working life in the 3rd year of employment. As mentioned above, Mr. A has been selecting his behavior without shifting his principle “proactively behaving” and has been able to concretely demonstrate “proactive behavior”, that is, behavior by an individual of being actively engaged with an organization. Therefore, the hypothesis “students who are proactively participating in athletic club activities in university days enrich their university lives and aggressively conduct proactive behavior after starting working” has been validated. In addition, this study has proposed that the value of extracurricular activities in universities such as athletic clubs does not lie in belonging to an organization and instead it is necessary for a student to establish a self-sustained individual who has withdrawn from a “hierarchical system” in their voluntary activities. Studies of the impact of studying and other lives in universities on proactive behavior after starting working are meaningful, since almost no concrete or individual verification has been made on the theme because the theme began to gather attention recent years and few studies have been accumulated. However, this study is just one example, and a remaining future challenge is to proceed with the study focusing on various types of students. While various reforms have been promoted on university education, nothing is more important than proactive practices by students in formal curriculums and extracurricular activities in universities.
