Also, the correlation coefficients of the categories of causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, central phenomenon, strategies and consequences were less than 0.45 and were indicated their non-overlapping. In addition, according to the indicators of commonality and redundancy, the organizational citizenship model in the education had a good fit and the effect of causal conditions, contextual conditions and intervening conditions on the central phenomenon, the effect of central phenomenon on the strategies and the effect of strategies on the consequences were significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: The designed organizational citizenship model in the education can help to education managers, officials and planners in designing programs to improve the organizational citizenship in this organization.

Findings: The revealed findings were 179 extracted key terms (primary concepts), 292 secondary concepts (first category), 32 secondary concepts (second category) and 3 main concepts (dimensions). In order to confirm the reliability of the qualitative findings, a scale with a 3-option spectrum was used to measure the content validity ratio (Lavache coefficient estimation) and in order to ensure the reliability of the qualitative findings, the Holstein reliability coefficient was estimated at 0.97. The findings showed that the employee procrastination prevention model consists of 3 main dimensions including organizational dimension (with 14 components), individual dimension (with 15 components) and social dimension (with 3 components).
