This research was a correlational study of the structural equation modeling type. The statistical population of this research consisted of all managers and supervisors working in the mines and mining companies of Irankooh in the year 1403 (2024-2025). From among them, 180 individuals were selected as the sample size using the available sampling method. The instruments used included Kumar and Shekhar's (2012) Organizational Loyalty Questionnaire, Luthans et al.'s (2007) Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Francis and Barling's (2005) Job Security Perception Questionnaire, and Lee and Allen's (2002) Extra-Role Behaviors Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS software. The results of data analysis regarding the direct effects of variables on each other showed that perceived job security has a direct and significant effect on psychological capital, organizational loyalty, and extra-role behaviors. Furthermore, the direct effects of psychological capital on extra-role behaviors and organizational loyalty were significant. Moreover, the indirect effect of psychological capital in relationship between perceived job security and organizational loyalty and with extra-role behaviors was significant. based on the findings of this study, the need to pay attention to the role and impact of perceived job security should be at the core of attention for managers of the studied organization and other organizations.
