The research population consists of 700 teachers from 90 primary schools in the central district of Mardin/Turkey in the academic year of 2015-2016. The research sample consists of randomly selected 346 teachers from 40 primary schools. Some of the important findings: (1) The perceptions of the primary school teachers about organizational alienation were found to be in the dimension of "powerlessness" (M = 1.94) "normlessness" (M = 2.16), "isolation" (M = 1.87), "self-estrangement" (M = 1.86, Rarely) and "meaninglessness" (M = 1.66, Never). As for the score regarding the whole scale, it was found to be (M = 1.87, Rarely); (2) The perceptions of the primary school teachers about organizational citizenship behaviors were found to be in the dimension of "civic virtue" (M = 3.86), "altruism" (M = 4.15), "conscientiousness" (M = 4.20, I agree) and "gentility" (M = 4.21; I totally agree). The score regarding the whole scale was found to be (M = 4.11; I agree); and (3) In the study, the relationship between organizational alienation and organizational citizenship behaviors was detected as (r = -0.510, p < 0.01) a mid-level, significant and negative oriented correlation.
