The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between prosocial behaviors, self-concept and parenting style on Bedesa New Generation volunteers. To this end, correlational research design was employed in carrying out this study. The target population was Bedesa New Generation volunteers at Bedesa Towns. Eighteen volunteers were sampled from the target population through stratified random sampling technique. The required data were collected through questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data that have been collected through close ended questionnaires. The findings of the study revealed that, that majority of the volunteers are high in prosocial behavior and there was significant positive correlation between age and prosocial behavior. That means when age increases the tendency of becoming prosocial also increases. Similarly, Self concept and Parenting style also have strong positive relationship with Prosocial behaviour. On the other hand, prosocial behaviour not significantly correlated with level of education. there was no statistically significant sex difference between male and female volunteers respondents in their prosocial behaviour. Parenting style and Self concept contributed 20.7% for the development of prosocial behavior of volunteers. the independent variable ‘parenting style’ has the strongest positive predictive power (β = .195) on the dependent variable ‘prosocial behaviour’; the independent variable ‘self concept’ has strong positive predictive power (β = .190) on the dependent variable ‘prosocial behaviour’. Though all independent variables have a statistically significant weighting on the dependent variable, the beta weighting of the independent variable ‘parenting style’ (β = .195) is higher than that of the independent variable ‘self concept’ (β = .190) on the dependent variable ‘prosocial behaviour’; this means that ‘parenting style and self concept’ is a stronger predictor of ‘prosocial behaviour sequentially. It was recommended that families, NGOs, private and governmental organizations at local levels should support and facilitate to maintain and enhance existing prosocial actions.
