Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between managers' good behaviors and organizational citizenship behavior with the role of organizational intermediary mediators in employees of sport and youth departments in Ilam province. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population of the staff of the department of sport and youth in Ilam province was 146 people in 1397. Due to community constraints, the sample was considered equal to the total population of 146 people. In total, 101 questionnaires were returned to the researcher. In this research, questionnaires were used by Niko Nasr Esfahani (2012), Organizational Behavior of Podsakoff et al. (1990) and organizational and organizational ethics of Victor and Coulin (1987-1988). Validity of all three questionnaires was confirmed by specialist professors and the reliability with Cronbach's alpha was 0/90, 0/79 and 0/85, respectively. Data were analyzed using PLS SMATR-SPSS16 software. The results of the research showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between managers' good behaviors and organizational citizenship behavior with the role of organizational earmarked mediator. Hence, the good managerial and behavioral interest in sports organizations can create appropriate incentive policies and strategies to boost organizational citizenship behaviors in the staff.
