Multiple regression analysis was performed using SPSS-22 software to analyze the data. Used indices were contained R، R2، F and β . Results: The results of data analysis showed that rewarding ethical behaviors (p= 0. 001، β = 0. 56)، ethical behavior of colleagues (p= 0. 001، β = 0. 55) and the integrity ethical behaviors of head nurses (p= 0. 001، β = 0. 35) have a significant relationship with professional ethics of nurses. Correlation of punishment of immoral behaviors with the professional ethics of nurses was not significant (p= 0. 776، β =-0. 03).

Results: The clinical competence of nurses was good (74. 42 ± 11. 69) and their organizational commitment was moderate (91 ± 10. 77). Overall organizational commitment had a positive correlation with clinical competence in the areas of quality assurance (r=0. 256، P = 0. 002) and education and guidance (r=0. 176، P = 0. 037). In addition، emotional commitment had a direct correlation with total clinical competence (r=0. 170، P = 0. 045) and dimensions of quality assurance (r=0. 185، P = 0. 028)، education and guidance (r=0. 190، P = 0. 024)، and diagnostic measures (r=0. 205، P = 0. 015).

Standard questionnaires were used to collect information. Standard questionnaires were used to collect information. For Occupational stress variable، as independent variable، the Spealburger model، 1991، has three physical، psychological and environmental components and organizational citizenship behavior variable as an associated variable was used by Organ and Konovsky model، 1996، which has five types of self-esteem، conscience، chivalry، civic، and literate behavior. Also، organizational support variable as a moderator variable is considered from Eisenberger et al.، 1986 model. Validity of the questionnaires was verified by confirmatory factor analysis and content validity and its reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha (for all variables more than 0. 7). The research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling and using Smart-pls software. Results: The results of this study showed that Occupational stress with t-value of 2. 99 affects organizational citizenship behavior with coefficient (0. 441)، and organizational support has moderating role in the relationship between Occupational stress and organizational citizenship behavior.
