Abstract

Pro-social behavior refers to measures a person takes with the intention of benefiting others as an individual or as a whole society whereas compassion is seen as an emotional response especially in Indian context it is a core noble virtue that is helping those who are in distress and alleviating their pain and agony. This study focuses on the correlation between pro-social behavior and compassion among the adults at their workplaces. The data was collected from the working population (n=150). Standardized measures were utilized for measuring pro-social behavior and compassion. To statistically analyze the data, Pearson coefficient correlation and regression was used. The findings reveal that pro-social behavior and compassion satisfaction have significant positive correlations (r= 0.594, p<0.01). This led to implications that practicing pro-social behavior at workplaces increases the amount of compassion among employees, leading to creation of a positive environment at the workplace as people are more co-operating and understanding, improving the overall quality of work.
