    Key words: organizational creativity, demographic characteristics, productivity of organizational tasks

    Undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful characteristics of human beings is the power of creation and creativity[1]. Through this lens, man can flourish his abilities and reach his maximum inner forces and use them to express his deepest feelings and emotions, help to complete human achievements and even create a new revolution and development in various aspects of life and present the foundation of his existence to human society. use their resources and make the most of them. One of the important organizational resources is creative human resources[3]. All organizations need new ideas and innovative ideas for survival and improvement of productivity[4] and progress (Morhamati, 2013).

    This article, with a psychological approach, examines the phenomenon of creativity and demographic characteristics with the productivity of organizational tasks of employees and tries to study the relationship between these categories from a theoretical and practical perspective. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to state the problem, the importance and necessity of the problem, the goals and variables of the research.

    Problem statement

    Efficiency, in general terms, is a measure of how effective and efficient the consumption of resources as input [5] (institutions) has been to produce output [6] (staffs) needed by society in the long term? If productivity is considered in its simplest form as the ratio of outputs to data, or the efficiency or returns, it is obvious that the lower the denominator or data, the higher the productivity or efficiency. In order to achieve this goal, it can be done in three ways:

    reducing the amount of data and taking the same previous value of the output according to increasing the efficiency and improving the performance of the system

    2. Increasing the amount of output by taking advantage of increasing the efficiency and improving the performance of the system and the same previous amount of data

    3. Simultaneously increasing the amount of output by taking advantage of increasing efficiency and improving system performance, as well as reducing the amount of data (Akbari, 2018).

    Efficiency in the general sense is the estimation of output in spending the least amount of energy, money and time.  Productivity is a thought system, a kind of rational attitude to life and finally a kind of culture. A culture in which a person tries to match his satisfaction with values ??and realities with his thoughts also tries to get the best material and spiritual result of his life. In other words, productivity is: how to use human and material resources which has two components of efficiency [7] and effectiveness [8] (Khyabanchi, 2013).

    When we talk about effectiveness, we mean "doing the right things" and when we think of efficiency, we mean "doing things and activities that help us achieve personal, family, group, organizational and national goals. The requirement for economic growth and people's comfort in any country is to increase the level of efficiency and effectiveness of people in any type of activity (Saatchi, 2013).

    Productivity measurement and development From various aspects, it has always been important to measure productivity, creativity, and quality of life. One of the obstacles to development and progress, especially in third world countries, is that an organization with better management can achieve its goals Nazim, 1387).

    And there are many models related to the factors influencing the improvement of human resource productivity, in one of these models, the quality of work life, employee empowerment and incentive system are considered as organizational factors effective in improving the productivity of human resources. Employee empowerment and productivity: studies conducted on leadership and management skills indicate that activities related to employee empowerment are the main part of managerial and organizational effectiveness activities; Empowerment in organizations is known as a tool that facilitates the creation of motivational behavior and behavior that increases productivity. And recently, in the research conducted by Peter and others, decision-making power, autonomy, initiative and creativity, knowledge and skill have been mentioned as dimensions of empowerment (Sabzi Aliabadi, 1388).

    In this research, the possible relationship between creativity and productivity and its role in improving productivity is discussed. Today, creativity is known as the secret of survival and the key to the success of individuals and organizations. Accelerated global developments in science and technology, industry, management, and values ??and standards in general have made many successful organizations and companies in the world to direct their goals, tendencies and interests in the direction of using creativity. Experts consider creativity to be the center of global movement in the 21st century. In the current changing conditions, creativity and innovation are the conditions for survival and the key to the success of organizations, and the necessity of its existence in organizations is such that some sources have equated the lack of creativity and innovation with the destruction of the organization in the long term (Falahshams, Khaje Nobar, Asghari, 2013). That is, creativity is one of the manifestations of the human mind and thought, and it exists in all human beings as a divine gift with different degrees of intensity and weakness (Mal Amiri, Niknam, 2009). In the definition of creativity from an organizational point of view, it is said: Creativity means providing new ideas and plans to improve performance and improve the quantity or quality of organizational activities. Accordingly, creativity is a mental/psychological process, the product of creativity can appear in the form of a work (thought, solution, etc.), the product of creativity is a new phenomenon and therefore has value. Creativity can be cultivated and has a direct relationship with the social environment of the creative person (Saatchi, 2018).  In the research conducted by John Depolites[9], it was shown that some aspects of the work environment are the source of creativity and, as a result, increase creativity and productivity. In this study, it was shown that the role of the leader by providing the right environment and situation can be effective on the growth of creativity and productivity (Harikatjo, Nazim, 1387).

    Ernest Dill[10] (1989) believes that having creative and innovative managers is perhaps the best factor in ensuring the survival of the organization to present new and pristine ideas, also Fuksall and Hackett believe that creative and innovative people by proposing many changes lead to the growth of new ideas and thoughts and achieve They look at effectiveness with a broader perspective and probably threaten or eliminate the traditional and accepted framework of regulations. It is through this cognitive phenomenon that new and innovative thoughts and views are breathed into the body of the organization like a soul and saves it from nothingness and destruction (Amari, Kozechian, 2013).

    Also, several factors affect the emergence of creativity, one of these factors is demographic characteristics, and the most important of these characteristics are - education, age, educational system, social status, role model, work experience (Aslani, Farshid, 1390).
