The case of maritime safety is a major concern of the International Maritime Organization. One of the most important areas of maritime safety is the Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping (STCW) that has always been the focus of IMO. This study seeks to examine the role of IMO in the formulation of STCW. On this basis, the descriptive-inductive method is chosen as the dominant method in this paper. IMO measures in this regard should be sought in both the structural and institutional contexts and the issuance of international regulations. On this basis, IMO formed the Maritime Safety Committee and then the Subcommittee on Human Factors, Specialized Training and Maintenance, under the supervision of the Maritime Safety Committee, on the issue of STCW. On the other hand, by adopting two basic conventions, namely the International Convention on the STCW of Seafarers and the International Convention on the STCW of Personnel Working in fishing ships, it has played an undeniable role in the field of maritime safety. Alongside these two, there is also the fifth chapter of the Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which has played a significant role in complementing the STCW.

The research was implemented using an applied approach and a survey-correlation method. The data collection instrumentation were questionnaires. Accordingly, the questionnaire of Sepahvand et al. (2017), a researcher-made questionnaire for job discipline, and the organizational citizenship behaviors of Organ and korsky (2006) were used to measure the religious capital. The statistical population consisted of 160 staff members of Khoramshahr Marine Science and Technology University, 113 of whom were selected as sample through Cochran formula. Data were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL software. The findings indicated that religious capital had a significant and positive effect on job discipline and organizational citizenship behavior. However, the impact of organizational citizenship behavior on job discipline was not confirmed. Additionally, organizational citizenship played a mediating role in the relationship between religious capital and job discipline with a positive indirect effect. Moreover, the results of the study reveal that the individuals who are over 45 years old are more likely to adhere to job discipline. On the other hand, individuals with higher education (Masters and higher degrees) and individuals with higher work experience (5 to 10 years) are less likely to have job discipline.
