Background: Considering the fundamental role of organizational citizenship behavior and environmental behavior of hospital employees in the quality of services provided and the general health of society, the current research was conducted aiming to determine the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and environmental behavior in the employees of educational hospitals of Yazd University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The present analytic cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 on 181 employees of educational hospitals of Yazd University of Medical Sciences. Participants were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collection was conducted using the two standard questionnaires, including the Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) Questionnaire and the Environmental Behaviors Scale. The descriptive and analytical statistical method of Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used in SPSS 22 software for data analysis. Results: The total mean score of organizational citizenship behavior was reported as 52.28 out of 75, and the conscience subscale gained the highest score (12.79) and the politeness and consideration subscale gained the lowest score (5.96). The total mean of environmental behavior was obtained at 106.26 out of 140, and the highest mean score was related to saving gas consumption (20.75%) and the lowest was related to the use of products with environmental standards (15.6%). A significant positive correlation was also observed between the total score of the use of products with environmental standards (r=0.031; P=0.160) and protection of natural resources (r=0.011; P=0.190). Conclusion: Incorporating training into the curricula and in-service programs, encouraging a culture of appreciation, and also providing rewards are the keys to strengthening the synergistic association between these two behaviors.
