In addition, organizational trust is one of the important factors that influence organizational citizenship behavior. The foundation of all values and behaviors in the organization is moral values, and managers must always consider the highest ethical standards in their organization.

The research tool was a questionnaire whose face validity and reliability by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient were assessed. Data were analyzed using the Delphi technique, Exploratory factor analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling.
Findings The relationship between ethical intelligence and organizational trust management and organizational citizenship behavior was significant and ethical intelligence had a 79% effect on organizational trust management and a 67% effect on organizational citizenship behavior. The relationship between organizational trust management and organizational citizenship behavior was also significant, and organizational trust management explained 84% of organizational citizenship behavior (p<0.0001).
