The purpose of this study was to design and test a model of some antecedents and outcomes of organizational creativity. In this model, organizational innovative climate, psychological capital, intrinsic motivation and psychological empowerment were considered as the antecedents of organizational creativity while organizational innovation and job performance were considered as the outcomes. The participants of the study were 340 employees, (including 304 males and 36 females) of National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) in Ahvaz, who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The instruments used to measure the variables were Situational Outlook Questionnaire (SOQ), Psychological Capital Scale, Intrinsic Motivation Scale, Psychological Empowerment Scale, Organizational Creativity Scale, Organizational Innovation Scale and Job Performance Scale. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), SPSS-18 and AMOS-18 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data relatively well. Better fit and more meaningful results were obtained by omitting four non-significant paths and using AMOS modification indices. All indirect effects were significant as well.

The aim of this research was the study of relationship between job stress and general health considering the moderating role of perceived organizational support in employees of Oil Company. Research statistical population was employees of Oil Company in Ahvaz city. Among them, one hundred employees were selected using simple random sampling method. To measure the variables, Job Stress Questionnaire (JSQ), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Perceived Organizational Support Questionnaire (POSQ) were used as the instruments in this study. Using SPSS-16, Pearson’s correlation and moderated regression methods were run for the analysis of the moderating effect. The results indicate that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between job stress and general health. It is also found that perceived organizational support modifies the relationship between job stress and general health.
