Question

An employee of a company is badly hurt in an accident. When his disability insurance runs out a fellow employee anonymously gives him enough money to live for six more months until he’s able to return to work. The giver does not expect to be identified or repaid. This is an example of:A) altruism.

B) organizational citizenship behavior.
C) an individualistic approach to cooperation.
D) civic virtue.

Answer 1

A. Altruism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Altruism is simply the exhibition of a kind act or behavior by a person, that benefits another individual. The person who does the favor is usually not interested in his/her own well-being, but is genuinely concerned about others.

An altruistic person will usually not want to be repaid for his kind gestures.
