Sleep quality, cognitive performance and pro-social behavior among IT employees: A correlational study

Cognitive performance is the ability to retain memory and reduce forgetfulness. Prosocial behavior is being empathetic, helping others and sharing knowledge. IT employees face demanding workloads that may affect these domains. This study explores the relationship between sleep quality, cognitive performance and pro-social behavior among 144 IT employees aged 22–35 participated, with data collected via Google Forms using purposive sampling. Analysis using Jamovi version 2.5.6 and results showed no significant relationship between sleep quality and cognitive performance, nor between sleep quality and prosocial behavior. However, a moderate negative correlation was found between cognitive performance and prosocial behavior, suggesting that lower cognitive performance is associated with reduced prosocial behavior and vice versa. These findings highlight the complex interplay between these domains.
