The study population included all staff of Kaleybar district schools who were selected by cluster sampling method and Cochran's formula, 200 people. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of method. Standard data questionnaires were used to collect data, all of which had good validity and reliability. The research data were analyzed using SPSS and lisrel software in the form of t-tests and structural equation modeling.The results show that the organizational virtue of schools directly has a significant effect on the organizational citizenship behavior of Kaleybar education staff; Also, the hypothetical model test shows that organizational virtue can influence teachers' organizational citizenship behavior by mediating work-life balance. The research findings emphasize the importance of organizational virtue of schools and the organizational citizenship behavior of employees, as well as the work-life balance of teachers.
