This research, therefore, aimed at finding out whether teachers’ personality (big-five personality) and motivation affected on teachers’ citizenship behavior/CB (performance). A causal survey used by selecting 81 teachers randomly. Three instruments developed to measure personality with reliability of .930, motivation (.918), and citizenship behavior with reliability of .884. Data was analyzed by regression, correlation and path analysis. Research results showed that teachers’ motivation was good and non significant as mediated factor between personality and teachers’ CB, personality directly and significantly affect teachers’ CB, and motivation directly and significantly affect teachers’ CB. Based on these findings, it could be concluded that variation of teachers’ CB or in more specific, teachers’ performance, influenced by teachers’ personality and motivation variation, so when biological teachers’ performance would be improved, the role of teachers’ personality (big-five factors) and motivation should be taken into consideration, especially in making decision in improving continuously the quality of junior high school, particularly biological teaching and learning.
