Proactive personality became a dominant factor in the increase in the job performance of midwives. The research aims to analyze the effect of proactive personality on job performance in midwives. The analytical research with a cross-sectional study in this research involved 151 midwives as samples that are taken with proportional random sampling. The proactive personality and job performance variables are measured using questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression. The analysis results showed that the sig. and t count scores showed that proactive personality has an effect on the job performance of midwives. The regression coefficient also showed that the direction of the variable effect is positive. Midwives with proactive personality are able to push themselves to develop themselves more thereby the performance of midwives in providing health service, especially in infants/children become better. A highly proactive personality encouraged midwives to take initiative to learn new things regarding a more professional and active midwifery service that has an impact on the increasing job performance of midwives.
