Abstract

This paper presents a global investigation of the relationship between prosociality and labor market success, using experimentally validated measures of prosociality from approximately 80,000 individuals across 76 representative country samples. The study finds a robust positive correlation between prosociality and labor market success worldwide, regardless of continent or economic development, generalizing previous findings from WEIRD societies.
