This study aims to reveal the relationship between the perceptions of teachers serving at state secondary schools located in central districts of Ankara with regard to their own organizational citizenship behavior and the achievements of the 8th grade students who were registered in these schools during the 2012-2013 academic year. This descriptive study was conducted using a relational survey model. The sample was calculated by simple random sampling method. Research was completed with 533 teachers at 85 public secondary schools. As the criterion for the students' school success, the average grades from the last three years of 8th graders studying in the 2012-2013 academic year have been taken. At the conclusion of the study, it was discovered that teachers generally have the perception that they show organizational citizenship behaviors. When seniority of the teachers increases, their organizational citizenship behavior also increases. Besides, the working years of teachers at their current schools positively affect their level of organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, "students' success" increases positively as the teachers' "compliance", "loyalty" and "individual initiative" behaviors increase. Based on the findings of the research, school administrators and educational authorities are advised to spread and improve organizational citizenship behavior in educational organizations.
