The paper investigates the role of individual proactivity and team characteristics in shaping individual improvisation in the context of artistic collective teams. We considered 134 individuals belonging to 25 teams and we developed a multilevel model for analyzing our hypotheses. Results show that both individual characteristic of proactivity as well as the team context affect the likelihood of improvising for individuals belonging to artistic collective teams. Our study corroborates the results outlined by previous research outlining that improvisation is not an inherently individual phenomenon; rather improvisation is also affected by the characteristic of the environment individuals are involved in
