Abstract :
Purpose: The objective of the present study was to present a model for training
organizational citizenship behaviors in the Education Organization based on grounded
theory.
Methodology: The present study was applied in terms of objective. For a rich
description of the experiences, attitudes and perception of the interviewees towards
training organizational citizenship behaviors, the qualitative research method was used
and in particular grounded theory (systematic approach) was used to achieve a paradigm
model. The population of this study included professors, university experts and directors
of education in Kermanshah Province. Sampling in the present study was purposeful, in
which 14 people were selected from the mentioned ones. In this study, interviews have
been used to collect their views related to the training of organizational citizenship
behavior in the Education Organization. Content validity was used to evaluate the
validity of the construct and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the
reliability. The research tool in this section was a questionnaire and for data analysis,
SMART PLS3 and SPSS23 software were used.
Findings: The results showed that causal conditions (employee empowerment;
decentralization; and employee awareness of organizational citizenship behavior); axial
phenomena (chivalry and forgiveness, conscientiousness; organizational spirituality;
respect and esteem; and civic virtue); strategic factors (organizational contexts, fair and
rapid feedback; observance of justice in the organization; policy making; and increasing
employee motivation); confounding variables (personality traits; and cultural, social,
political and economic conditions); background conditions (organizational culture,
transformational leadership, and organizational support) and consequences (effectiveness
and improvement of organizational performance; employee satisfaction; organizational
commitment, cooperation and participation) affect the training of organizational
citizenship behavior in the Education Organization.
Conclusion: The study results showed the effect of each of the different categories on
the training of organizational citizenship behavior. So, to succeed in this regard, special
attention should be paid to these categories. Therefore, in order to achieve higher
effectiveness and proper hiring of employees with extra-role behaviors, the Education
Organization should consider and implement the necessary program and preparation for
training organizational citizenship behaviors.
