“…Despite the above limitations, the present study makes some important theoretical and practical contributions. Firstly, it laid on self-determination theory [39] to test a model of prosociality as fueled by the satisfaction of core psychological needs [150,151]; this process is based on intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation, and it is consistent with the intrinsic motivational nature of psychological empowerment in that empowered employees feel more able to affect change at work [152]. Therefore, those results differ from and extend previous studies using the predictions of social exchange theory [22].…”

Several studies have identified a work environment that promotes inclusiveness as a significant predictor of affiliative organizational citizenship behavior or OCB (such as helping), whereas not much research has focused on inclusion and challenging OCB (i.e., voice). Moreover, no previous studies have explored the above-mentioned relationship in the light of self-determination theory (SDT), given that social exchange theory has traditionally been used as the main explanatory mechanism. Therefore, the aim of the present research was to test the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction in the relationship between inclusion climate, promotive voice and prohibitive voice. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires administered to 246 employees of an international company operating in the service industry. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze the data utilizing R software. Results showed that satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness partially mediated the relationship between inclusion climate and promotive and prohibitive voice, therefore supporting the idea that social exchange might not be the only determinant for employees to engage in voice behavior. Most importantly, those findings underline how a truly inclusive workplace needs to fulfil its employees’ basic needs of behaving volitionally, feeling effective and connecting meaningfully; this would motivatethe workers to voice their suggestions and concerns.

“…In addition, this study uses a small size of sample which involved only 156 participants. Plus, the participants were recruited only from one university which might represent selective population of interest that can limit the generalizability of the findings across university especially within Malaysia (Kindap-Tepe & Aktas, 2019). This would be interesting to conduct such research to replicate the findings among undergraduate students in all universities in Malaysia which then might help to improve Malaysian students' psychological well-being in overall.…”

“…Adult people are ages older than 19 years old which most of undergraduate students in Malaysia are in the same age range (World Health Organization, 2013). Some of past researches used self-determination theory to explain the link between prosocial behavior and psychological well-being (Kindap-Tepe & Aktas, 2019;Kwok, Chui & Wong, 2013). As according to self-determination theory, Kwok, Chui and Wong (2013) suggested that well-being will be improved when the behaviors are able to satisfy the three basic psychological needs include autonomy, competence and relatedness.…”

Undergraduate students (N=156) among 48 males and 108 females involved in this study. This is a quantitative study that use online survey method to obtain the data. The participants involved completed a set of questionnaire that consists of demographic information, Prosocialness Scale for Adults, and Ryff's Scale of Psychological Well-being. The results of present study revealed that there is a positive correlation between prosocial behavior and psychological well-being (r = .30), and also a positive correlation between prosocial behavior and domain of psychological well-being of positive relations with others (r = .429) among undergraduate students of UPSI. Additional finding proved that prosocial behavior does have significant effect on psychological well-being of the undergraduate students of UPSI at p < .000. These findings were found consistent with several previous studies that have been done in various population and country other than Malaysia. Thus, this study is beneficial for the university across Malaysia to encourage the students to involve in any prosocial behavior in order to enhance their psychological well-being throughout their study time.

“…Self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci 2000) believes that human beings need to constantly meet the basic psychological need of relatedness. Kındap-Tepe & Aktaş (2019) found that prosocial behaviours were an effective way to meet this basic psychological need, and it could help individuals establish good interpersonal relationships. When individuals encounter setbacks, individuals with better interpersonal relationships can rationally use social resources and actively solve problems using positive coping methods (face difficulties, actively seek help, etc.).…”

This study aimed to explore the effect of prosocial behaviours on Chinese undergraduate nursing students' subjective well-being (SWB) and examine the roles of psychological resilience and coping styles. The sample for this study included 683 nursing students from two undergraduate universities in Henan Province, China. SWB, prosocial behaviours, psychological resilience, and coping styles were assessed by the Index of Well-Being, the Prosocial Behavioural Tendency Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, respectively. We adopted Pearson's correlation analysis and the PROCESS Macro Model 81 in regression analysis to explore the relationships among prosocial behaviours, psychological resilience, coping styles, and SWB. Prosocial behaviours of undergraduate nursing students had a positive predictive effect on SWB; psychological resilience and coping styles both were the mediating variable between prosocial behaviours and undergraduate nursing students' SWB; psychological resilience and coping styles played a chain mediating role between the prosocial behaviours and SWB of undergraduate nursing students. The results indicated that prosocial behaviours not only directly affected the SWB of undergraduate nursing students but also affected the SWB of undergraduate nursing students via psychological resilience and coping styles. These results offer certain theoretical support and guidance for the research and improvement of undergraduate nursing students' SWB and emphasize the importance of interventions to increase prosocial behaviours, improve psychological resilience, promote positive coping styles, and address negative coping styles.
