    Prosocial motivation refers to the desire to help others, but can negatively impact job performance and satisfaction in some ways. Specifically, employees may be reluctant to help colleagues due to fear of embarrassment if their assistance is unwanted or causes disruption during busy periods. Additionally, observing little reaction from others to a situation reduces the likelihood that an individual will take action themselves due to lack of enthusiasm.

    Prosocial motivation is a degree to motivate, inspire someone to help

    other people. Besides its advantages, prosocial motivation still has some
    negative impact on the job performance, which directly leads to the job
    dissatisfaction:
     Fear of being evaluated or embarrassed: Sometimes people are
    shy to help other because they simply think that their help requests
    are unwanted and may be disturbed to others during the busy
    work. People gradually give up sending the help requests to
    colleagues.
     Other people’s reactions: People have a tendency on seeing how
    others react to a specific situation, if the situation is vague, if no
    one or a little amount of people only react, the low possibility for
    individual really happens, when the lack of enthusiasm actually
    occurs.
