Innovation and creativity among high school teachers of Gorgan City were evaluated considering various
indices, namely university degree (high school diploma, bachelor degree, master degree) and job history (1-4
years, 5-9 years, and >10 years). Two standard questionnaires were adopted for collecting data (Randsyp’s
standard questionnaire for creativity (1979) and Martin Patchen's Questionnaire to evaluate motivation for job
innovation). The findings acquired from the present study showed that there was no significant difference
between male and female teachers in job history (p>0.05). A significant difference was detected in innovation
between male and female teachers with high school diploma (p<0.05) while the difference was insignificant in
higher degrees (p>0.05). The mean scores of innovation for both men and women increased with higher
university degrees.
