THE REGULATORY ROLE OF COMPASSION IN THE INFLUENCE OF THE PERSONALITY TRAIT OF RESPONSIBILITY ON TASK AND CONTEXTUAL PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Purpose- Compassion, which has entered into the field of positive psychology and has increased in importance in the recent times, is separated from many characteristics by feeling, empathy and sympathy. Compassion is an emotional response that involves intense interest, sensitivity, active and positive participation, respect for one's desire to help. The high level of mental ability positively affects employees' performance outcomes. Therefore, merciful employees create more productive and trustworthy workplaces. In this context, the research is to examine the relationship between intentional compassion, responsibility personality and employee performance. Methodology- Research data were obtained from employees working in various sectors. The obtained data were analysed through IBM SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 22.0 packet programs. Findings- As a result of the research, significant relationships were found between employees' values of compassion, responsibility and performance. Employees with higher levels of compassion and responsibility were found to have a higher contextual and task performance than employees with lower levels of compassion and responsibility. Conclusion- Only employees' good qualifications should not be set as criteria in purchases to workplaces. It is suggested that humanitarian aspects such as compassion and responsibility should be examined.
