Abstract
In this study, my goal was to investigate whether and how employees’ trait-like prosocial

motivation affects their decision to leave the organization. I wanted to examine such

relationship by considering the effect of other two variables, namely job satisfaction and

mission breach. Indeed, by the means of a moderated mediation, I investigated whether the

trait-like prosocial motivation affects turnover through the mediation of job satisfaction, being

the relationship between prosocial motivation and job satisfaction moderated by mission

breach. Therefore, I developed a research model including the association between prosocial

motivation and turnover, the mediator and the moderator, that is job satisfaction and mission

breach respectively. The model was tested in a mission-driven company characterized by a

prosocial mission, which is “helping save lives”. Through the analysis of survey data, I

achieved two significant results. First, I found that the relationship between trait-like prosocial

motivation and job satisfaction was significant, and it was moderated by the mission breach.

Second, I discovered that job satisfaction fully mediates the effect of prosocial motivation on

turnover. I concluded that prosocial motivation does not have a direct negative effect on

turnover, but it does affect it indirectly through job satisfaction. However, this effect is

dependent on whether the company is breaching its mission or is operating in accordance with

it.
