Findings revealed that there were significant relationships among compassion, conscientiousness trait, and employee performance. Compassion, which is in the field of positive psychology and increasing in importance in the recent times, is separated from concepts such as pity, empathy, and sympathy due to many characteristics. Compassion is an emotional response that involves being respectful, being sensitive, giving close attention and active and positive participation towards others with a desire to help.
