“…In support to the above reasoning empirical research has found that people who are high on agreeableness prefer super-ordinate goals instead of goals that are linked with monetary-only rewards (Sato, Fukuda, Kameyama, Suda, Uehara & Mikuni, 2012). Furthermore, short-term volunteers in disaster areas who score high on agreeableness demonstrate stronger performance in their mission than their counterparts with low scores on agreeableness (Istiani & Muetia, 2016).…”

This study focused on United Nations (UN) civilian volunteers serving in "hot spots", and tested a model to predict their intentions to apply for a new UN assignment. These individuals have characteristics of both assigned expatriates and self-initiated expatriates. In-Role Behaviours (IRB) and Organizational Citizenship Behaviours towards the Local Population (OCB-Locals) were related to sense of personal accomplishment, that in turn was related to intentions to apply for another UN assignment. Sense of personal accomplishment played a mediating role. Both the personality trait of agreeableness and the attitudinal factor of commitment towards the local population were predictive of IRB, but only agreeableness was predictive of OCB-Locals. Moderation effects were identified, but the direction of most of them was unexpected. For example, it was low openness to experience that strengthened the link between sense of personal accomplishment and intentions to re-apply. The study's implications for expatriation research and for practice are discussed.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of people worldwide. Governments struggled to persuade citizens to obey ongoing lockdowns and social restrictions to fight the transmission of the virus. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of prosocial behavior during COVID-19 and big-five personality traits on compliance with health-protective behavior against COVID-19. To examine possible predictors an online questionnaire was delivered to undergraduate students at a public university of Athens during the second phase of the pandemic (November 2020). A mediation analysis was performed to test the relationships among variables. The sample consisted of 239 business school students and the results revealed that two of the big-five personality traits of young adults, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, can be linked with a positive attitude to following heath precautions and recommendations while conscientiousness and agreeableness are predictors of young adults’ prosociality behavior to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, the results indicated that there is not any effect of young adults’ personality traits on health recommendation through the mediation of prosociality. The results will contribute to the recent literature (Campos-Mercade, Meier, Schneider, & Wengström, 2021; Miles, Andiappan, Upenieks, & Orfanidis, 2021) on the factors influencing prosocial decision-making regarding the pandemic.
