The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of work life with creativity among the female and male teachers working in the education of the city of Deilam and the countryside. The statistical population consisted of female and male teachers working in the education of Deylam and the suburbs (Imam Hassan section) who taught in the academic year 2015-2016, Using the Krejcie and Morgan table and in an accessible way, 280 people (130 males) and (150 females) were selected as stratified random sampling. To collect the data, Sherer’s general self-efficacy questionnaire, Quality of Work Life Questionnaire, used by Casio and Abedi’s Inventory of Creativity was used. Validity of the questionnaires was verified using content validity and reliability through Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive statistics (mean) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation test & multiple regressions) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that, with increasing self-efficacy, the quality of work life and creativity increased. 2. Self-efficacy is able to predict the variables of creativity. The quality of working life, social fitness, and work life is a strong predictor for the variable of creativity.
