Abstract One of the most important debates in public administration has been Political attitudes and activities of bureaucrats and their impact on their performance that has been studied in politics-administration dichotomy. In order to prevent of curroption in public service public administration researchers argue that administration should not involve in political patronage. Also political officials should not do extensive political appointees in all of the administrative levels. But we see that in developing countries, when winning certain political patry, many of the public administrators were changed. This paper purposes to argue the Cause of this process for politicization of the public organizations and it’s influence on individuals performance and behavior. In this regard, this research examined the effect of political attitudes of bureaucrats on their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The results showed that political attitudes have a significant correlation with OCB and that the bureaucrats that belong to the ruling party exhibit more OCB than others.
