While implementing the page object modelling using page factory with selenium webdriver, which is the good approach out of the two?

  1. Calling public static <T> T initElements(WebDriver driver, java.lang.Class<T> pageClassToProxy) within each method which navigates to the target webpage class page ?

Or

  1. Calling public static <T> T initElements(WebDriver driver, java.lang.Class<T> pageClassToProxy) in the constructor of the webpage class?

The way it's intended to be is to place your call to PageFactory.InitElements() in the constructor of the class representing the web page. If you have classes representing a certain object on the page (like header or footer, that occur on several pages), you can call it there, too. The object doesn't have to be a webpage.
