This research explains the impact of the dimensions of positive psychological capital on organizational citizenship behaviors and the role of mediation in the psychological contract. This study was an applied research method and was, also, considered as Correlational research. The statistical population of this study was the administrative staff of all districts of Shahid Faghihi Hospital in Shiraz in the year 1397, which is considered 300 as the number of sample size. A simple random sampling method was, also, used. The measurement tools of the present study are the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Questionnaires of Podsakoff (1990), Patrick's Psychological Contract (2008), and Nguyen's Positive Psychological Capital (2012). Data were analyzed using SPSS 23 and AMOS 20 software. The findings indicate that the relationship between the variables of positive psychological capital dimensions, organizational citizenship behavior, and psychological contract has been confirmed. It was also concluded that the dimensions of positive psychological capital lead to increased commitment and responsibility in the psychological contract, which in turn increases the level of organizational citizenship behavior.
