Data were collected through two questionnaires including Beugre OJ scale and the OCB questionnaire made based on Organ dimensions of citizenship behavior (conscientiousness, altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, civic virtue). The Structural Equations Modeling (SEM) was used to determine the effect of the variables. Data analysis method was SEM and the softwares SPSS and Amos have been used.
