This research is applied in nature, and from the perspective of data collection, it is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of all physical education teachers across Iraq, totaling 25,642 individuals. Given the distribution of physical education teachers throughout the country, a sample of 384 teachers was selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires, including the Organizational Conscientiousness Questionnaire by Naeimi (2013), the Job Leaving Questionnaire by Moghimi (2010), and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire by Allen and Meyer (1990). The face and content validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by the academic supervisor, and their reliability was assessed through Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, which were calculated as 0.93 for organizational conscientiousness, 0.91 for the tendency to leave the service, and 0.92 for organizational commitment. Data analysis was conducted using correlation coefficients, multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling. All computations were performed using PLS and SPSS software. The results indicated that organizational conscientiousness has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment, explaining 20.07% of its variance. Furthermore, organizational conscientiousness has a negative and significant effect on the tendency to leave the service, accounting for 33.40% of its variance. Organizational commitment also has a negative and significant effect on the tendency to leave the service, explaining 33.87% of its variance.</p> https://journalapes.com/index.php/apes/article/download/86/150
