The Relationship Between Undergraduate Instructor Self- Concept and the Degree of Prosocial Behavior Exhibited by Instructors to Online Undergraduate Business First Year Students

The primary goal of this quantitative study was to investigate the connection
between instructor self-concept and prosocial behavior and its impact on student learning;
thus, gaining more knowledge about assessment of instructor fit for online,
undergraduate, business first-year experience (FYE) courses. If an instructor’s selfconcept
is related to the degree of prosocial behavior exhibited, then an instructor with a
higher likelihood of exhibiting prosocial behavior may be a better fit for an online,
undergraduate, business FYE course.
The study failed to reject all null hypotheses, showing no correlations between
faculty self-concept and degree of prosocial behavior exhibited to online business firstyear
students. The results did show a correlation between instructor self-concept (RSCQ
score) and tendency to exhibit prosocial behavior (PTM score), which is outside of the
scope of this study, but informed future research considerations discussed in Chapter 5. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
