The Moderating Role of Nepotism Perception in The Relationship Between Prosocial Behavior and Superego

This study examines the relationship between superego and prosocial behavior and the moderating role of the perception of nepotism in this relationship. A total of 260 employees from various sectors participated in the study. Using the self-reporting method, participants evaluated their perception of superego, prosocial behavior, and nepotism. According to the findings, a positive relationship was found between the superego levels of the employees and their prosocial behavior levels. At the same time, a negative relationship was found between the prosocial behavior levels of the employees and their perception of nepotism. It also did not play a moderating role in the relationship between nepotism, superego, and prosocial behavior. The findings are discussed in detail in the discussion section, and suggestions for future research are presented. In conclusion, although this study conducted on a limited sample, it contributes to the examination of the test of psychological and social psychological assumptions in an organizational context.
