the possibility to confront the problems, adoption and finally our success. To resolve a problem creatively, the human can use all his brain's ability (Lamzdyn, 2008, translated by Nasr azadani and Arbab Sherani, 2007). Creativity is a mental process that a certain person can do it at a certain time, a process that a new effect - including the idea of new and different something - can be produced. New and different products can be verbal or non-verbal and physical or mental.Creativity has been considered in all aspects of human's life as a superior human need and includes the wide range transformations and also a mutation in human thought so that provide an ability to combine the past factors in new form (Davenport 1998). Several definitions of creativity have been offered by experts. Bentley (2002) stated that: creativity is the application of knowledge and skills in new ways to achieve great results. Albrecht believes that creativity is a mental process to generate new and innovative ideas (Alvani, 2009). Eric From stated: the creativity is the ability to see (know) and answer (Rezaeian, 2008). Stephen Robbins stated that creativity is the ability to combine in a unique idea or creating continuity between ideas. Creativity has three dimensions: noncognitive, cognitive and motivative. Noncognitive aspects of creativity include the creative features in motion, art and special abilities that can be seen less in the same subjects. Cognitive aspects of creativity concern the existence a divergent thinking in person mind.creative individual have ability to produce more creative ideas and he enjoys the higher mental flexibility. He produced innovative and creative ideas during his ideas production that these ideas occurred to the mind a few people. Cognitive dimensions of creativity are represented the inner motivations and invoked a person to follow his desired activity continuesly and without an external reward. The cognitive theory is based on divergent thinking. However, divergent thinking has no certain answer for a same question, and there is multiple answers to same question, while in convergent thought, there is same response to the same question (Zamani, Goli, Naseri, 2005). The Ceske investigation (1985) of the characteristics of creative people showed that they enjoy rich intelligence , honesty, openness and flexibility, and with maximum benefit from their leisure time, they examine various issues by the openness and divergent thinking to achieve new solutions. In fact, there is time pressure in everyday life which is background of increasing anxiety. Obviously, severe anxiety is a pest of productive and creative thinking (Afrouz ,2010). One of the common characteristic of creative people, who is accepted among psychologists and researchers in this field, is the extraordinary imagination of all creative children and adults (Shariatmadari, 2011). The employees of every job could be creative (Bhatt, 2001) .So the organizational researchers must determine variables that caused to the encouragement of creativity so that the organizations can enjoy the creativity and the managers must know how to support these creativities (Duffy, 2000). High success rate of today organizations is based on creativity, innovation, discovery and invention. According to the existing needs, the organization are encouraged to efficiently change the behavior of individuals and organizations functions so that can survive , it seems the changes lead to the increasing emergence of new and benefit ideas rapidly. Among the organizations that have an important role in human life, are institutional organizations especially education system. In each country, the education system is one of the important social systems. The mission of this system is to transfer the cultural heritage and human experience to the next generation, to make desired changes in knowledge, attitudes and the behavior of children, adolescents and young adults. This system help to change the potential

people to the healthy, creative, balanced and developed humans in one hand and also provide the needs of human resourses in different cultural, social and economical divisions in society. The creative people in education system and other scientific centers are as a must because theses centers play important role to teach the committed and expert human resourses for all organizations and departments. The educational organization's duty is to provide a ground of creativity development and right application of individual abilities and talents which is a ground to make cultural, economic, and social developments in society in one hand and also need to improve and teach the creativity in organizational level to achieve the dynamism within organization. Teacher training and proper planning to education is considered as one of the most important elements of education, and also a key role to improve the creativity. The educator's attitude than creativity and also the teaching method have direct relation to empowerment the class and develop the students's creativity. So it is necessary to provide sufficient programs to help teachers to attain the necessary skills and to teach creativity (Hosseinee, 2008). To achieve a significant innovation in education is difficult (Simmin, 2008). One of the issues raised in the twenty-first century education is the education of thought art. According to Shatvk (1992), education is the place of research and innovation. Kyngl (1995) also sees education as an innovation institution. He believes the creative education is an educational place and is based on the knowledge quality production and improvement. With this new approach, it can be predicted that in the coming decades, the education will achieve the best place to research, creativity and innovation. Therefore, it is natural to presume that such education should be some differences with traditional training (Pirkhaefi, 2004).Training the healthy and creative thinkers in all human societies is the ideal goal for the future, so that to reach this stage is the main goals of the government and people of every society. In recent decades, sports and physical education and its role in the health and vitality is located one topics of interest to the field of sports medicine experts. A beneficial effect of physical activity in different applications is not hidden from anyone. The results of some studies suggest that regular , organized and sustained physical activity is an essential factor in the development of health and exciement of all classes of society (Saadati, 2008). Education is an essential component of human society and one of the main objectives of the training and education of children by teachers and administrators. Most experts and scholars of educational issues believe teachers are the biggest and most important factor in education. So it is not surprising to be said the foundation of a successful educational system are teachers. The first step toward a successful teaching staff is to understand the factors that affect the quality of teachers. Therefore, the issue of job satisfaction of teachers is more attention because of its direct relation to their functions. Teachers with more job satisfaction will do the best .So it is necessary to consider the teachers's job satisfaction more than before. Education is a fruitful and yet difficult task which teachers play the best role and are considered the beginning of the transformation of education. Having a compassionate teacher can create a fundamental change in the education system. Therefore, job satisfaction is essential to meet these needs. The job satisfaction means he loved his job and considers its overall value and has a posi...
