Abstract :
Background and Objective: Today, organizations with a rich working environment, relationships and social environment have become one of the important features of organizational life. In this research, the effect of employee’s perception of the organization and its managers (organizational trust and trust in supervisors), the quality of perceived communication (organizational support and the exchange of managers and employees) and the formation of creativity-related behaviors (information sharing, risk taking, evading social and political behaviors) on creativity were studied. The purpose of this research was to evaluate and analyze the social exchange model of organizational creativity in the Ministry of Jihad-e-Agriculture.Method: The statistical population (N=36285) of this research is composed of the experts of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, including graduate employees and managers of various organizational levels in 2017. In this study, a multi-stage sampling method with proportional assignment was performed. In this method, the provinces of the country were divided into 4 developmental levels and finally, the provinces of Isfahan, Gilan, Golestan and Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari were randomly selected (n = 304). Research hypotheses were tested using SMART.PLS2 software.Findings: The results of the study estimated the model's overall fit index to be 0.350, which indicates a strong fit and high quality of the model of measurement.Discussion and Conclusion: The hypothesis test showed that in the Ministry of Jihad-e-Agriculture, the factors under investigation could have an effect on creativity.
