The development of education is crucial to enhance the quality of human resources and achieve a better quality of life. Quality generations are undoubtedly influenced by the role teachers in guiding students during the teaching and learning process at school (Eliophotou, 2021. Yang, 2. Teachers are one of the human resources in the educational Human resources are essential assets in an organization as they control and sustain the organization while also developing it to meet the demands of the times. Therefore, human resources must be taken care of, preserved, and developed (Muhammad & Ch, 2. Trining Triningsih. Setyaningsih. , & Herfina. /International Journal of Education. Information Technology and Others (IJEIT) 6 . , 326-341 Teachers play a significant role in the success of education. The crucial role of teachers as both instructors and educators is a determining factor in the success of education. Based on organizational behavior, teachers face various demands as professionals that have certain limitations (Saleem, 2. These limitations can be related to the teachers themselves or the expectations placed on the teaching profession (Karabatak et al. , 2. There are three categories of work behavior: individuals bound and present within the organization, obligated to fulfill specific roles in their work, and required to engage in innovative and spontaneous activities beyond their role (Shrestha & Bhattarai, 2. The last category is referred to as extra role or organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Organizational Citizenship Behavior is a positive behavior that benefits the organization but is not part of the core duties (Soparidah et al. , 2. OCB can enhance the effective functioning of the organization, including schools. Schools, as organizations that encompass teachers, are expected to function well (Demir. OCB is an individual behavior that is discretionary, meaning it is not directly and explicitly rewarded by the formal reward system, and overall contributes to the effectiveness of organizational functions (Akkaya, 2. It is voluntary in nature because such behavior is not required by role requirements or job descriptions that are clearly mandated based on the contractual agreement with the organization. rather, it is a personal choice (Klny, 2. OCB refers to positive behaviors of organizational members that are consciously and voluntarily expressed through working and contributing to the organization beyond what is formally demanded by the organization (Makvandi et al. , 2. OCB is a form of individual choice and initiative, for which no punishment is given if it is not exhibited (Romi et al. , 2. There are four characteristics of OCB: . it involves voluntary actions that are not included in the job description. it is spontaneous or not commanded. the behavior is not easily observable and rewarded through performance evaluations. it contributes to the effectiveness of the organization (Karabatak et al. , 2018. Saleem, 2. In the highly competitive field of educational services today, the display of extra-role behavior by all educators . is needed to attract and retain the interest and loyalty of students in using the educational services provided by a particular institution. Teachers who exhibit OCB are exemplary If an organization has individuals with high OCB, it can be expected that the organization will be capable of facing challenges that arise from both internal and external environmental changes (Shrestha & Bhattarai, 2022. Soparidah et al. Teachers with high OCB willingly engage in positive activities that contribute to the development of the school. They enjoy working in the school and feel that they are an integral part of it. On the other hand, if OCB is low, teachers may lack the motivation to perform their duties and tend to neglect the school's progress (Demir, 2015. Iik, 2021. Shrestha & Bhattarai, 2022. Soparidah et al. However, the situation in schools at the elementary level has not yet reached the ideal state of OCB. According to the 2016 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report presented by UNESCO, the quality of professionalism and competence among teachers in Indonesia is still low (Klny, 2. This is - 327 - Trining Triningsih. Setyaningsih. , & Herfina. /International Journal of Education. Information Technology and Others (IJEIT) 6 . , 326-341 supported by preliminary study findings that indicate out of the 30 elementary school teachers who were subjects of this research, 38% of them have not shown optimal concern for assisting their colleagues. This can be seen from the fact that not all teachers demonstrate concern for helping colleagues who are working Additionally, 40% of teachers have not fully taken responsibility, as not all teachers arrive early to the classroom before students enter, and not all teachers exhibit extra efforts in tidying up meeting rooms even after working hours. There are also 35% of teachers who have not shown understanding when the school faces water supply issues, and many still struggle to understand when education allowances are disbursed late. Furthermore, 35% of teachers have not optimally supported and promoted their organization, as evidenced by the ineffectiveness of teachers in collaborating with the school's surrounding environment and not fully participating in school KKG activities. One aspect that influences OCB is empowerment. Human Resource Empowerment is a leadership approach that involves granting power or authority to members to make decisions and be responsible for the tasks they perform (Tindowen, 2. Empowerment can also be understood as a collective decisionmaking process (Kiral, 2. Empowerment should be understood as a process of enhancing individuals' abilities so that they can solve problems on their own by providing them with the trust to manage specific programs and make their own decisions (Iliman Puskulluoglu & Altinkurt, 2. On the other hand, empowerment is also defined as freeing individuals from rigid control and giving them the freedom to take responsibility for their ideas, decisions, and actions (Muhammad & Ch, 2. Empowering teachers is crucial in determining their OCB towards a better direction (Cobanoglu, 2. The indicators of empowerment include: . improving and enhancing employee morale, . promoting career advancement, . enhancing conceptual thinking, . fostering leadership, and . improving performance, which ultimately leads to increased rewards . (Ghalavi & Nastiezaie, 2020. Yorulmaz et al. , 2. empowering teachers, they are given the autonomy and trust to contribute positively to the organization, which can enhance their OCB and overall effectiveness in their roles as educators . nzkan Hdrolu & Tanryen, 2. Job satisfaction is also closely linked to organizational effectiveness. Job satisfaction is the result of employees' perceptions of how well their job provides them with important aspects (Shrestha & Bhattarai, 2. It refers to an individual's attitude towards their job, which is the result of their perceptions about their job and the extent to which there is a good fit between themselves as individuals and the organization (Soparidah et al. , 2. Job satisfaction involves an individual's evaluation of the job context, including the perceived characteristics of the job, the work environment, and the emotional experiences at Individuals with high job satisfaction have positive feelings about their work, while those with low satisfaction have negative feelings (Romi et al. , 2. Several factors are associated with job satisfaction, including: . payment - the amount received and perceived fairness of the payment. the job itself - how interesting the job tasks are and the opportunities for learning and responsibility. promotion opportunities or the availability of opportunities for advancement. supervision - the technical competence and interpersonal skills of the direct - 328 - Trining Triningsih. Setyaningsih. , & Herfina. /International Journal of Education. Information Technology and Others (IJEIT) 6 . , 326-341 . co-workers - how friendly, competent, and supportive the colleagues are. working conditions - the extent to which the physical work environment is comfortable and supportive of productivity. job security - the belief that one's position is relatively secure and continuing employment with the organization is a reasonable expectation (Jenaababadi et al. , 2013. Samancioglu et , 2. Indicators of job satisfaction include: . the job itself. promotion opportunities. co-workers. working conditions (Samancioglu et al. , 2019. Shrestha & Bhattarai, 2. When employees are satisfied with these aspects of their work, it can positively impact their commitment, motivation, and overall performance, which in turn contributes to the effectiveness of the organization (Haj & Jubran, 2. Several studies have stated that empowerment has a significant influence on OCB. Some studies also indicate the impact of job satisfaction on OCB. However, there has been no research examining the combined effects of empowerment and job satisfaction on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among teachers at a specific level, namely elementary schools. Based on the previously presented research background, this study aims to analyze the influence of empowerment and job satisfaction on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among elementary school teachers. RESEARCH METHOD The method used in this study is a quantitative approach with a survey design. The population of this research consists of 1,170 certified and highly accredited public elementary school teachers. The sample size for this study is 302 certified and highly accredited public elementary school teachers, selected using simple random sampling technique. The data collection method in this study involves the use of questionnaires. The validity of the instruments is tested based on the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The reliability of the instrument, specifically professional commitment, is tested using the Cronbach's Alpha technique. The statistical tests involved in this research include preliminary analysis, hypothesis testing using path analysis, correlation analysis, and coefficient of determination. The research hypotheses are as follows: H1 : y1 > 0 There is a positive influence between empowerment and the improvement of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). H2 : y2 > 0 There is a positive influence between job satisfaction and the improvement of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). H3 : y3 > 0 There is an indirect influence of empowerment and job satisfaction on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Data Description Organizational Citizenship Behaviour They also mentioned that thinking sometimes is unconscious and the unconscious mind can be directed with a purposeful activity. They stated that thinking is any mental activity that helps formulate or solve a problem, decide, or fulfil a desire to understand. It is researching for answers and reaching for These mental activities include observation, remembering, wondering, - 329 - Trining Triningsih. Setyaningsih. , & Herfina. /International Journal of Education. Information Technology and Others (IJEIT) 6 . , 326-341 imagining, inquiring, evaluation, and making a judgment. To solve problems or make decisions, some of these mental activities needed to be combined. For instance, if one needs to identify an idea, he or she needs questioning, analysing until a conclusion or decision is reached.

Information Technology and Others (IJEIT) 6 . , 326-341 the Empowerment (X. variable on OCB (Y), indicating that the stronger the Empowerment (X. among teachers, the higher the OCB (Y) will be. This research is in line with Suriansyah et al. 's . study titled "The Relationship Between University Autonomy. Lecturer Empowerment, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Indonesian Universities," which states that there is a significant influence between empowerment and OCB (Suriansyah et , 2. This is further supported by the study conducted by Herawaty et al. titled "Effects of Empowerment and Work Motivation toward Organizational Citizenship Behavior of Public Schools Teachers in Jakarta," which found an influence between empowerment and teacher OCB with a path coefficient of 0. This means that the more effective the empowerment of teachers in both school and non-school activities, the higher the OCB. Conversely, the lower the effectiveness of teacher empowerment, the lower the OCB. Therefore, the data in this research analysis further supports the findings of previous studies regarding the positive influence between empowerment and OCB. The findings of this research indicate that empowering teachers in schools is a process of building trust and OCB, enabling the organization to be highly effective in achieving its goals with high quality. That is consistent with the research conducted by Sinha and Negi . titled "Workplace Empowerment. Perceived Organizational Support and Their Impact on Organizational Citizenship Behavior: A Study of Garhwal Region in Uttarakhand State of India," which states that empowerment has a positive influence on OCB (Sinha & Negi, 2. Based on the SITOREM analysis, strengthening OCB can be achieved through enhancing empowerment by improving the following indicators: Delegating or involving . 05%) . Open communication . 70%) . and Providing credibility of rewards and competence . 46%) . Additionally, maintaining or developing the following indicators is crucial: Training accountability . 23%) . and Building trust . 46%) . This implies that the more teachers are trained to be accountable and entrusted with tasks aligned with their roles, the higher their OCB will be. Furthermore, the research findings indicate a direct positive influence between empowerment and OCB. Teachers who have high levels of trust will enhance their knowledge competence through various activities. Additionally, they will demonstrate consistency, loyalty to the organization, and openness to new ideas, which contributes to organizational development. This is supported by the hypothesis testing, which shows a direct influence between job satisfaction and OCB with a path coefficient . and a calculated tvalue of 5. Comparing it with the critical value . at a significance level of = 0. 05, which is 1. 96, we find that tvalue > ttable. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis (H. and accept the alternative hypothesis (H. This means that there is a positive direct influence of job satisfaction (X. on OCB (Y), indicating that higher job satisfaction among elementary school teachers in Depok City leads to increased OCB. Previous research has shown a positive influence between job satisfaction and OCB. Nurjanah et al. conducted a study titled The - 337 - Trining Triningsih. Setyaningsih. , & Herfina. /International Journal of Education. Information Technology and Others (IJEIT) 6 . , 326-341 influence of transformational leadership, job satisfaction, and organizational commitments on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in the inspectorate general of the Ministry of Education and Culture, which found that job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on OCB, with a t-statistic value of 296 . reater than 1. and a p-value estimation of 0. ess than = 0. This study aligns with the findings that job satisfaction has a positive and significant influence on OCB. This is because job satisfaction is an enjoyable or positive emotional state resulting from an individual's job evaluation and work experience (Nguni et al. , 2. A teacher who experiences positive emotional states will enhance their OCB in the school setting. This is supported by Ekowati et al. , whose research found a significant positive influence between job satisfaction and OCB with a path coefficient of 0. Based on the analysis of SITOREM, the reinforcement of OCB can be achieved through strengthening teacher job satisfaction. Strengthening job satisfaction can be done by improving weak indicators, such as Pay (Compensatio. Job itself . , and Working conditions . , as well as maintaining or enhancing indicators such as Supervision . Colleagues . , and Promotion opportunities . CONCLUSION Based on the findings and discussions of the research above, it can be concluded that: . There is a direct positive effect of empowerment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) with a path coefficient of 0. indicating that the development of empowerment can strengthen OCB. There is a direct positive effect of job satisfaction on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) with a path coefficient of 0. 127, indicating that increasing job satisfaction can strengthen OCB. There is an indirect effect of empowerment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) through job satisfaction with a path coefficient of 0. 356, indicating that the development of empowerment can strengthen OCB through the improvement of job satisfaction. Based on the hypothesis testing and discussion of the research findings, there is a direct positive effect between OCB and empowerment. If we want to enhance OCB among elementary school teachers, one approach is to focus on improving teacher empowerment. School principals who involve teachers both within and outside the school can build their self-confidence. High self-confidence will enhance OCB. Furthermore, if we want to increase OCB among elementary school teachers, efforts can also be made to enhance teacher job satisfaction. A teacher with high job satisfaction will be able to work comfortably, thereby enhancing OCB. BIBLIOGRAPHY
