چکیده:
Abstract This study aimed to investigate a relationship between creativity and emotional intelligence elements in sport organizations. The study population includes 250 Iranian participants who were serving in different sport organizations including 125 males (Mage = 52.8 years, SD = 6.2years) and 125 females (Mage =45.3 years, SD = 4.6 years). Three instruments have been used in this survey: (i) General information questionnaire (ii) Emotional Intelligence questionnaire (iii) Creativity questionnaires (RAUDSEPP). The findings achieved through emotional intelligence and creativity questionnaires demonstrated that men and women were different in some aspects of relationship between creativity and emotional intelligence elements. Positive relationship between creativity and all elements of emotional intelligence except between creativity and controlling emotion element have been found. Other findings discussed various aspects of emotional intelligence and creativity in both genders. We can conclude that cognitive and behavioral systems of men and women are functionally distinct; so, existence of conflict in relationship between EI and creativity in men and women participants in this study may be due to gender differences.

We can conclude that cognitive and behavioral systems of men and women are functionally distinct; so, existence of conflict in relationship between EI and creativity in men and women participants in this study may be due to gender differences.
EI and creativity are significant in predicting a number of real-life outcomes, such as occupational and academic success and quality of interpersonal relations, in a differentiated manner than general intelligence or personality do (Lam and Kirby, 2002; Petrides et * Corresponding author.
Previous studies on the role of gender in creativity stated that men were more successful in science, art, literature, music and technical development in compare with women (Eccles, 1985; Eysenck, 1995; Maccoby and Jacklin, 1974; Reiss, 1999).
Three questionnaires including general information questionnaire, the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and Creativity questionnaire (RAUDSEPP) as evaluation tools, distributed among sport managers , sport administrators , coaches and physical education teachers from different sport organizations of Iran.
The results show that there was strong and positive relationship between two EI elements such as emotional understanding and optimism with creativity in women in comparison with men participants.
