Finding Meaning through Volunteering: Why Do Employees Volunteer and What Does It Mean for Their Jobs? (2013, background): “This is particularly relevant for jobs that favor agreeable and extraverted employees, because individuals with these traits are also more likely to volunteer (Carlo et al., 2005).”
Motives for Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Personality Correlates and Coworker Ratings of OCB (2012, background): “In line with this, Carlo et al. (2005) noted that Agreeableness reflects a positive disposition toward others and therefore forges a theoretical link between this personality dimension and being motivated by prosocial values to engage in such volunteering behavior.”
Who gives what and when? A scenario study of intentions to give time and money (2010, unknown): “The results on conscientiousness and helpfulness are at odds with prior research in the US and Canada (Ashton et al., 1998; Carlo et al., 2005), but consistent with prior research in The Netherlands (see Bekkers, 2005, 2006 for interpretations).”
Political Interest, Cognitive Ability and Personality: Determinants of Voter Turnout in Britain (2005, result): “This is a multiple of any of the other estimated coefficients, and confirms previous work by Sabucedo and Cramer (1991), Clarke et al. (2002) who note the importance of political interest for voter turnout in the British context.”
The Development and Validation of the Motives to Donate Scale (2018, background): “In general, the other four traits (Openness, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness) showed the reverse pattern, with a tendency toward more public-benefit, and less private-benefit, motives for donating (Table 6).”
Dirty Dozen vs. the H factor: Comparison of the Dark Triad and Honesty–Humility in prosociality, religiosity, and happiness (2014, background): “While Big Five Agreeableness considered as the core trait contributing to prosocial behavior (Carlo et al., 2005), Honesty–Humility well represents the two norms for prosocial behavior, reciprocity and fairness (Ashton & Lee, 2007; McCullough & Tabak, 2010).”
Personality and the prediction of consequential outcomes. (2006, background): “The link between volunteerism and the interpersonal traits of extraversion and agreeableness was also found in a large college student sample (Carlo et al. 2005), where there is some evidence that the trait-behavior link was mediated by prosocial motivation.”
