Introduction: Today, human resources are the most important and valuable organizational assets that affect the success and growth of organizations. The educational performance of teachers, due to their role and importance in the education process, can play an important role in improving the activities of the educational system and can lead to the formation of an effective, consistent and quality education system.

Organizational citizenship behavior can promote employee productivity and efficient operation of organizational groups, for example: Involving new employees in auxiliary or dedication behaviors will help them gain the knowledge they need to improve service quality, so that new employees may quickly perceive new components of service delivery. Therefore, organizational citizenship behavior enhances the speed of service delivery and improves performance quality. On the other hand, civic engagement leads to improved and enhanced interactions between managers and employees and can be resolved quickly if the problem arises. High levels of attentiveness, respect, and kindness reinforce group spirit among colleagues and may spend more time on organizational or group productivity goals rather than arguing with colleagues and managers. Organizational citizenship behavior is categorized into five dimensions: altruism, conscientiousness, chastity, courtesy, and social customs.
