Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between teachers' perception of organizational justice (POJ) and their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and to explore the mediating role of teacher burnout (JB) in the POJ-OCB relationship. Data were collected through a survey with a sample of 1,325 teachers from two cities in China: Chongqing and Chenzhou in Hunan Province. The survey response rate was 92.01%. Descriptive statistical analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, mediation effect testing, and dominance analysis were used to analyze the data. The results indicate that procedural justice positively predicts OCB, while burnout negatively predicts OCB. Furthermore, the study reveals that JB plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between POJ and OCB, particularly in the dimensions of passion burnout and professional self-efficacy burnout.
