Abstract: A total of 385 student teachers were recruited to complete a survey measuring proactive personality, work performance, interpersonal relationship and professional identity over a period of five weeks from the first week of their educational practice, and hierarchical linear modelling was used to analyze the developmental trajectory of student teachers' professional identity in the early stages of teaching practice and the mediating mechanisms of work performance and interpersonal relationship in the relationship between proactive personality and student teachers' professional identity. The results show that:(1) professional identity shows a U-like developmental trajectory as it first decreases and then increases over time; and (2) work performance and interpersonal relationship partly mediate the relationship between proactive personality and professional identity in student teachers. However, the mediating effect of work performance is much stronger than that of interpersonal relationship. This study has demonstrated the dynamic developmental trajectory of student teachers' professional identity in the early stages of teaching practice and the mediating mechanisms of work performance and interpersonal relationship in the relationship between professional identity and proactive personality.

Key words: professional identity, proactive personality, work performance, interpersonal relationship, developmental trajectory, student teachers
