On the basis of document analysis and investigation by questionnaire, This paper discusses current primary and perceived organizational support(POS) of middle school teachers, OCB and the relation between the POS and OCB, explores the effective ways to promote primary and middle school teachers' OCB, hence provides some theoretical base for China's primary and middle school teaching and management.The methods we used in the study were literature summarizes, the purpose of this step was to think out the hypotheses model; and then the questionnaire survey to collect data and the conclusions were made through the analysis by the software of SPSS 15.0. Hypothesis one, two, five get support partly, while hypothesis three and four are supported completely. The results of the study follow that:the differences of POS concerning sex, educational background and professional title are not remarkable, but the differences of POS of teachers in different locations or from different types of schools are remarkable.
