Job Congruence
[edit]Job Congruence- The match between a persons abilities an the requirements of a job.
- In workplace psychology, much attention is paid to the ways and degrees to which people align with their jobs and careers. This is referred to as job fit, career congruence, and some other terms that are explained below. One of the interesting facets of this subject is that there are so many ways that a person can be aligned with his or her role at work.

- Description
Prosocial behavior occurs when someone acts to help another person, particularly when they have no goal other than to help a fellow human. So why does this altruistic behavior appear? One thought, of Kin Selection, is that it is a genetic response to supporting the broader gene pool. Social conditioning can also have be a cause and prosocial parents lead to prosocial children. The Reciprocity Norm may also have an effect, where people help others, knowing that one day they may want someone else to help them in the same unselfish way. Demonstrating such social norms is likely to get you admiration from other people around you. Prosocial behavior varies with context as much as between people. Men will tend to be chivalrous for short periods, whilst women will work quietly for longer periods. People who are in a good mood are more likely to do good, as are people who are feeling guilty. People in small towns are more likely to help than those squashed together in cities.
- Example
Evidence abounds of people helping others without asking for anything in return. This is the whole principle of charity. Their rationale for helping others is often Intrinsic Motivation.
