Since OCB concept is considered an issue related to professional achievement and performance in the teaching profession, as well as in any field of any other profession, it is important to examine OCBs of teacher candidates. However, very limited studies have been conducted to explain OCBs of teacher candidates who will work in schools after graduation. In this article teacher candidates' OCBs were examined according to their academic scores. The study sample consisted of 224 university students attending Faculty of Education.
