A researcher-made questionnaire adapted from related standard questionnaires was used to collect data. The reliability of the measurement model using factor loadings, composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha, as well as convergent validity with the AVE criterion and divergent validity with the Fornell and Larcker matrix were checked and confirmed by Smart PLS software. The results of data analysis by structural equation model with PLS software showed that HPM has a direct effect as well as an indirect effect through PCA mediating variable on OCB. so that HPM explains about 56.2% of the changes in the OCB variable directly and 26% of it indirectly through the path of the PCA mediating variable. Also, the results of analysis of variance using SPSS software showed that there is a significant difference between the average opinions of respected respondents in terms of gender, experience and age variables.
