Innovative organizational behaviors and empowering organizational environments can function
reciprocally toward ensuring organizational performance and sustainability in long term. This study aimed at
analyzing the relationships between Psychological Empowerment (PE), Perceived Organizational Support
(POS), and Creative Performance (CP). Through a literature review, we examined causal relationships among
these variables. The subjects of the study were agricultural personnel (n = 80) of Karaj city, Iran. Data were
analyzed through descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, and the structural equation modeling.
Results of this study, showed that agricultural personnel had moderate level of Creative Performance (CP)
(Mean = 3.35). Moreover, results of correlation analysis and structural equation modeling procedure showed
that Psychological Empowerment (PE) significantly affected Creative Performance (CP) more than that of
Perceived Organizational Support (POS) (β = 0.29, p<0.01). Overall, the present study recommended that the
agricultural organization environment should promote agricultural personnel’s creative behaviors through
improving their perceptions of psychological empowerment. Finally, the research provided managerial
implications.
Key words: Agricultural personnel, Creative Performance (CP), Iran, Perceived Organizational Support (POS), Psychological Empowerment (PE), ,
