    Proactive entrepreneurial practice is an element of corporate entrepreneurship. Consequently, proactive catrepreneurial practice shapes the environment by creating beforehand a platform that contains he challenges that may come with new products, technologies, and administrative procedures, as opposed to reacting to the environment. Typically, proactive business enterprises have a forward-looking perspective, the ability to anticipate and be prepared for the future, and a pioneering spirit (Terence & Titiom, 2009). According to Gunday, Ulusoy, Kilic, and Alpkan (2011), a formidable proactive strategic posture equips businesses with the ability to anticipate potential changes in the business environment and even exert a favourable influence over it. Strong proactive thinking is likely to provide businesses with a variety of capabilities to anticipate the needs of customers and the reactions of market competitors. Proactive entrepreneurial practice is acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes; as such, it may be essential to corporate entrepreneurship as it suggests a forward-looking perspective accompanied by innovative or new-venturing behaviour. Proactive entrepreneurial practice relates to the significance of initiative in the entrepreneurial process.

While some studies considered investigating the influence of human resource management practices (HRM practices) on employee performance in different context such as America, Asia and European context with very litle in sub-Saharan African countries like Nigeria. However, some of these studies used specific practice while others used groups. Despite these studies, however, studies attempted to investigate the impact of HRM pracices and employee performance has reported mixed findings; therefore, an interacting variable is suggested. This paper proposes employee engagement as potential moderator to enhance the relationship between HRM practices and employee performance. Five hypotheses were theoretically developed base on the reviewed literature, to be achieved if the model empirically validated.
