The purpose of the present study was to design and test a model of the relationships between individual (openness to experience and proactive behavior), group (proactive safety and team reflexivity) and organizational (organizational structure, transformational leadership and organizational climate) factors with organizational creativity considering the mediating role of creative self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation in employees of National Iranian South Oil Company (Aghagari District). The participants were 254 employees (male 241& female13) of Oil Company in Aghajari that selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments were Neo- Five Factor Inventory(NEO-FFI), proactive personality scale(PPS), team climate inventory(TCI), team reflectivity questionnaire (TRQ), transformational leadership scale (GTL), creative climate questionnaire (CCQ), creative self-efficacy scale (CSE), intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI) and employee creativity questionnaire (ECQ). The proposed model was examined through structural equation model (SEM). Results showed that the direct paths from proactive personality to creative self-efficacy, organizational structure to organizational creativity, openness to organizational creativity, team reflectivity to organizational creativity, transformational leadership to organizational creativity and organizational climate to organizational creativity were non-significant. The indirect relationships were tested using bootstrapping procedure in Preacher and Hayes Macro command. After omitting non-significant paths, the model fitted the data properly and all indirect effects were significant.
