In the 21st century, the most important intellectual capital that makes organizations successful is the employee. The critical point for fierce competition and survival of the organizations is the ability of management of employees' attitude and directing their behaviors towards organizational purposes. Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) could be defined as the performance that supports the social and psychological environment in which task performance takes place. Apart from the roles and responsibilities given, employees who engage in behaviors outside of their tasks and roles and those who serve these behaviors for organizational purposes play a crucial role on the benefits of the organizations. Entrepreneurship is the most important factor that enables organizations to gain competitive advantage in the industry that they operate. Supporting innovative and entrepreneurial behaviors and attitudes is expected to create an advantage in the competitive environment. Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) could be defined as a construct of two dimensions including entrepreneurial behaviors and managerial attitude towards risks. Entrepreneurial behaviors could be defined as innovativeness and proactiveness; whereas managerial attitude towards risk could be defined as an inherent managerial tendency existing at the level of the senior managers tasked with developing and implementing strategies-favoring strategic actions that have uncertain outcomes. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and entrepreneurial orientation by conducting a quantitative research in the hospitality industry.
