Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational effectiveness. This study examines the predictors of OCB among junior high school teachers in the local educational context. Utilizing a quantitative approach, stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify situational and dispositional variables that predict OCB. Seventeen predictors, including situational variables (type of school, organizational climate, and organizational justice) and dispositional attributes (sex, job satisfaction, work motivation, and personality traits), were analyzed. The findings reveal that while the initial hypothesis was not fully supported, specific variables significantly predicted OCB. Teacher job satisfaction emerged as a significant predictor of overall OCB and OCB towards schools and students. Community engagement, an organizational climate subscale, significantly predicted OCB towards colleagues and overall OCB. Additionally, academic press was a notable predictor of OCB towards students. These results highlight the importance of job satisfaction and community engagement in fostering OCB, aligning with previous research and Social Exchange Theory. The study highlights the need for intervention programs to enhance OCB in schools, emphasizing the role of a supportive organizational climate and the intrinsic motivation of teachers. The findings contribute to understanding OCB in educational settings, providing insights for improving teacher engagement and organizational effectiveness.
