Green organizational behavior is expressed as the attitudes put forward by the employees and managers in the organization that minimize the damage to the environment and also benefit from these behaviors. The study is based on the view that exhibiting green organizational behaviors will increase the level of exhibiting organizational citizenship behavior. In this direction, the study aims to determine the relationship between green organizational behavior and organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, it is aimed to reveal the relations between green organizational behavior sub-dimensions and organizational citizenship behavior sub-dimensions. The sample of the research, which was carried out with the relational scanning model within the scope of the general scanning model, consists of officers, non-commissioned officers, specialist gendarmes, specialist non-commissioned officers and civil servants in the central and provincial organizations of The Gendarmerie General Command. The dataset of the research was obtained in line with demographic information, green organizational behavior levels of employees and organizational citizenship behavior levels of employees. The obtained data were evaluated with descriptive analysis and regression analysis via SPSS. As a result of the findings obtained in this direction, a moderate and positive relationship was determined.
