Abstract:
This study aimed at examining the effect of employees’ work motivation on organizational citizenship behaviors in Sport and Youth offices of Chaharmahal-va-Bakhtiari province. All employees (N=152) in these offices completed Motivation Sources Inventory (Barbuto et al.، 2004)، and their leaders evaluated their organizational citizenship behaviors by Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (Podsakoff et al.، 1990). Out of 150 distributed questionnaires، 140 (92. 5%) were returned and considered as the sample of the study. Results showed a significant and positive relationship between dimensions of work motivation and OCB (r=0. 29، P<0. 01). Multi-regression analysis also revealed that two dimensions of work motivation (internal self-concept motivation and instrumental motivation) could predict OCB significantly. Structural equation modeling showed that 24% of variance of OCB could be explained by work motivation. These results indicated that each dimension of work motivation could explain employees’ organizational citizenship behaviors to some extent and managers need to identify and improve these dimensions، especially internal self-concept motivation and instrumental motivation in order to enhance the incidence of their employees'' organizational citizenship behaviors and finally the effectiveness of their organization.

Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Education, Faculty of Humanities, Islamic Azad University, Arak Branch, Arak, Iran Abstract This research was conducted to investigate the impact of job motivation on organizational citizenship behaviors of employees of the Sports and Youth Departments of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.
All employees of the Sports and Youth Departments of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province (N=152) completed the Motivation Sources Questionnaire (Barbuto, 2004), and their direct managers assessed their organizational citizenship behaviors using the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (Organ et al.
However, a negative relationship can be expected between extrinsic self-concept and organizational citizenship behaviors, because this source requires some elements of reward or social recognition for employee effort; organizations do not formally provide rewards for organizational citizenship behaviors; therefore, it can be said that since this motivation is related to requesting positive feedback and acceptance from others, helping others at work also stems from this motivation.
Reflecting on these results and considering that few studies have been conducted in the country on the subject of the aforementioned variables, especially in sports organizations, the researcher decided to study has taken to study the variables of job motivation and organizational citizenship behavior and analyze their relationship in the General Office of Sports and Youth of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.
