Abstract

—This research has been carried out; with the objectives of identifying the relationship between the Ethical Climate and the Organizational Citizenship Behavior of the employees within the Ministry of Education headquarter in the north Khurasan province. In this study, the relationship between six dimensions of Ethical Climate and Organizational Citizenship Behavior were reviewed. In order to evaluate these elements, from the sample of 200 people, through random test of all categories, results from 127 employees were obtained. A sample questionnaire was used for the final evaluation, by applying the Kronbach alpha, rendering the results more credible by the application of the aforementioned tool, in such a way that the alfa kronbach of the Ethical Climate questionnaire stood at 0.832% and the alpha Kronbach of the questionnaire on Organizational Citizenship Behavior stood at 0.637%. The findings have indicated that the Ethical Climate and the Organizational Citizenship Behavior are correlated. Similarly, the Ethical tool value has the least correlation with the Organizational citizenship Behavior and the independent Ethical Climate has no connection with the Organizational citizenship Behavior
