This study examined the influence of subjective well-being and gender differences on prosocial behaviour among police personnel’s, in Ondo State, Nigeria. This is a cross sectional survey design utilizing accidental sampling techniques to recruit 128 participants, 65 (50.8%) were males, 62 (48.4%) were females, mean (Χ) age was 41.3 and (SD) was 7.9. Subjective well-being does not have any significant effect on prosocial behaviour [f (1,123) = .566, p > .05]. This implies that subjective wellbeing does not influence prosocial behaviour. Also, gender has no significant effect on prosocial behaviour [f (1, 123) = .244, p > .05]. This implies that police personnel’s gender (male or female) does not influence prosocial behaviour. It is therefore recommended that helping behaviour has nothing to do with those general parameters used to determine well-being or life satisfaction.
