Prosociality is an important part of the work context. Employees, leaders, and organizations show various forms of prosocial behavior such as supporting colleagues suffering from heavy workload, voluntarily organizing social events fostering a good organizational climate, or providing goods and services that benefit society at large. From the plethora of constructs related to prosociality at work, I herein provide a brief introduction to the currently most prominent ones with regard to organizational members in general (organizational citizenship behavior) and leaders (servant leadership), respectively. Moreover, I briefly sketch how research on prosociality at work would likely profit from a stronger integration of research from related fields, within and beyond the organizational literature.

亲社会性是工作环境的重要组成部分。员工、领导者和组织表现出各种形式的亲社会行为，例如支持工作量大的同事，自愿组织社交活动以营造良好的组织氛围，或提供有益于整个社会的商品和服务。从大量与工作中的亲社会性相关的结构中，我在此分别简要介绍了目前最突出的关于一般组织成员（组织公民行为）和领导者（仆人式领导）的结构。此外，我简要概述了工作中的亲社会性研究如何可能从组织文献内外相关领域研究的更强有力的整合中受益。
