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.
