Abstract: The current research aimed to investigate the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and professional ethics of staffs at the Islamic Azad University and Payame Noor University in the city of Saghez. The population under study consisted of all working staffs at the Islamic Azad University and Payame Noor University in the city of Saghez for as many as 104 people where the sampling method was in a census form and the population was considered as corresponding to the sample. Tools used included a researcher made Professional Ethics Questionnaire and an Organizational Citizenship Behavior Inventory by Leiva Marcuzzi and Catherine Zein. The reliability coefficient obtained for the Professional Ethics Inventory was 0/95 and the same coefficient for the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Inventory was 0/91. Research findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and professional ethics. Other findings suggested that with the adding of an intermediate variable of education in the relationship between professional ethics and organizational citizenship behavior, the relationship would be again significant, indicating a real relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and professional ethics of staffs. Finally, the relationship between service years and professional ethics was found to be non-significant.
