Chapter One

General research

1-1- Introduction

Nowadays organizations have found a high and prominent position in the cultural and social structure of societies. Many basic and vital activities related to life are carried out in organizations and life is impossible without the existence of various organizations. In spite of this, the achievement of comprehensive success and progress and provision of welfare and comfort cannot be realized by the mere existence of organizations, but for this purpose, efficient and effective organizations are needed (Enami, 2008). Stephen Robbins has defined the organization as follows: the organization is considered a social phenomenon that is consciously coordinated and has relatively specific limits and gaps and operates based on a series of permanent foundations to achieve a goal or objectives (Robbins, Stephen P., 2016).

One ??of the important elements in organizations is organizational culture. The organization's iceberg) is called the culture of that organization, and culture has been mentioned as a necessity for the successful performance of the organization (Martin and Linncock, 2009). The research efforts of "Alton Mayo[2]" and his colleagues defined culture as a system of social norms and institutions that emerges among different groups and affects their behavior (Zarei Metin, 2016).             

organizational culture is considered as a system of common inferences that the members have towards an organization, this characteristic separates two organizations from each other, thus the organizational culture determines the social identity of each organization and in the simplest way, organizational culture can be considered a combination of beliefs, values ??and presuppositions that exist in the organization and all the members of the organization are more or less equally exposed to it and there is some agreement and consensus about it (Safai) Qadiklai, Anderkhora, 2018). Denison [3] sees organizational culture as having four dimensions: work engagement, compatibility, adaptability and mission. Considering the key role of physical education managers and teachers in providing services to the country's young generation, it is necessary to understand the culture of the organization and provide favorable and constructive solutions for its improvement.                                         

Creativity is considered as a high human need in all dimensions of human life and it consists of wide-ranging developments and leaps in human thought and thought in such a way that it has an ability to combine previous factors or a new way, and because in today's competitive environment, lack of attention to customers can cause severe damage to educational and commercial organizations, it may bring the organization closer to decline, it can be done by taking advantage of the creativity of the path and the increasing improvement of the organization and system. We should always have growing and learning organizations, and since quality management has an important role in relation to customer involvement, it is possible to invent new and prosperous solutions by taking creativity and giving creativity according to the communication of our customers (Rezaian, 2013).                   

Therefore, in the research, it intends to examine the relationship between organizational culture and creativity in physical education teachers in Kohgiluyeh and Lande cities.

1-2- Statement of the problem

Most developing countries are faced with a kind of low organizational effectiveness and efficiency, and this is while the direction To solve this problem, it is necessary and necessary to have people with high organizational commitment who have common values ??and beliefs. The importance of this becomes apparent when we consider the administrative and organizational system as a tool for researching development goals in different dimensions. With this interpretation, the existence of a common sense and beliefs among the group of organization members is necessary to give coherence to different departments and components. In the last 30 years, the world has witnessed the revival of researchers' attention to the nature and influence of organizational culture in relation to modern work and organization (Hawkins, 1997). Robbins believes that a strong organizational culture creates a kind of behavioral stability and can be a powerful tool to replace complex formal rules and regulations in the organization. In other words, the culture of the organization is a tool that facilitates our dealing with the issues of the organization and shapes the way we change and interpret the events around us. One of the characteristics of human resource management practice is to focus on employees as a valuable asset. Organizations in the sense of the means of the pillar of the current society and management is the most important factor in the growth and development of organizations, and it is undoubtedly the duty of managers to guide the process of moving from the existing situation to the desired situation according to the organizational goals. On the other hand, the extensive changes at the global level have faced many problems and changes every day in order to achieve their goals. These changes have caused new developments in organizational management theories to take place day by day. It can be acknowledged that two theories have been presented during the 20th century. The noteworthy point in all theories is the emphasis on the important role of management and efficient human resources of the organization in order to achieve organizational goals (Islami, 2016).
