The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationshipbetween job and organizational variables and teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviors, considering the mediating role of job stress. To this end, 200 female teachers from public schools in Ilam were selected via multistage random sampling. Research instruments consisted of teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior questionnaire, organizational trust questionnaire, organizational justice scale, Islamic work ethic scale, and job stress scale. The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-16 and AMOS-20 software packages. The results showed that the research model was fitted with the data and showed that organizational justice and Islamic work ethic had a significant direct effect on teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior; but the direct effect of organizational trust on teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviors was not significant. Bootstrap method for analyzing the mediator relationships showed that job stress mediated the relationship between organizational trust together with Islamic work ethic and teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior. However, the relationship between organizational justice and teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviors was not mediated by job stress.Due to the role of teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviors in school outcomes, considerable attention should be paid to the factors affecting on it; including the variables examined in this study.
