Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of teachers’ perceived school climate on their organizational citizenship behavior toward individuals (OCBI), mediated by multiple dimensions of teacher self-efficacy (TSE). Data were collected from 4910 teachers in primary schools in China. The results confirmed the impact of school climate on OCBI and further identified TSE as a key mediator of school climate and OCBI. Of the three dimensions of TSE, TSE in teacher-student relationships had three times the effect on OCBI than TSE in classroom teaching. However, no significant relationship was found between TSE in school decision-making and teachers’ OCBI.
