Citizenship Behavior: a New Conception of Education

To this goal, the present paper aims to shed light on the concept of educational citizenship behavior, its dimensions, and the way to deal with it in educational contexts.In this digital age, as educational systems including universities, centers of higher education, schools,…move into an era of reorganization and are obliged to work in a competitive and complex environment, their effectiveness to a great extent depends on teachers who are committed to educational objectives and norms and are more eager to go above and beyond the call of duty to contribute to successful change, that is, to delve into such organizational citizenship behaviors. The concept of educational citizenship behavior is to investigate the extra-role behaviors that are not formally required or rewarded; such behaviors lead to more success, effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity of any kind of educational system. Today, as educational systems move into a new era of reorganization, performance defined as prescribed by task roles-is necessary but not sufficient for predicting school effectiveness. Therefore, educational systems will have to be more dependent on teachers who are willing to exert considerable effort beyond formal job requirements.
