Purpose: In this study, the relationship between spatial visual observation and working memory with creativity and math anxiety has been investigated through mediation of mathematical self-efficacy and social intelligence among female students. Methodology: The method is correlation with a path analysis. A total of 477 students were selected randomly from a multi-stage cluster randomly from all female students of fifth grade elementary school in public schools in Tehran during the academic year of 2017-18. Students were examined by the non-verbal creativity questionnaire of Torrance Form A, MARS-R Mathematic Anxiety Scale, working Memory for Children (SMBK), Liv, Kivevala and May, s Mental Self-Efficacy, Traumous Social Intelligence (TSIS), and Processing Test Binet's spatial visualization completed. In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation and path analysis were used. Results: Based on the proposed model (RMSEA = 0. 001), in this study, Visual-spatial Processing variables were only indirectly mediated by social intelligence and math self-efficacy variables on math anxiety (P-value <0. 05, = β ) and showed a relationship with social intelligence mediating with creativity (P-value <0. 05). Also, the working memory variable was displayed only directly (P-value = 0. 03, β = 099) with creativity. Conclusion: Considering the confirmation of the main goal of this study, one can mention the two variables of social intelligence and mathematical self-efficacy as the variables that influence the educational priorities of the educational system in order to increase creativity and reduce the math anxiety

Background: Managing organizations in today's competitive world is extremely complex and difficult. In these circumstances, past solutions, no longer meet today's problems. In the meantime, organizations that have the capacity to innovate respond faster and better than non-creative organizations to environmental challenges. The University is one of the social environments where students spend most of their time and they have a great deal of influence in terms of education, motivation and skill.

The reliability of the study was estimated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and partial least squares analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results: The path coefficients for the main hypothesis and sub-hypotheses were 0. 221, 0. 554, 0. 968, 0. 927, and 0. 548, respectively, and the t values were 2. 202, 2. 461, 2. 748, The values of t for these parameters were greater than 1. 96 and 2. 227 and 2. 271, so all hypotheses are confirmed by 0. 95. Results: Creative detectives have a moderating role in the impact of strategic innovation on detectives' willingness to exploit criminal intelligence functions. Optimizing criminal intelligence functions, reengineering the criminal information approach, reforming the criminal information system, redesigning criminal intelligence reporting have a significant impact on detectives' willingness to exploit criminal information given the moderating role of creative detectives.

This study aimed to predict self-efficacy in career decision making based on creativity and thinking styles. The research was descriptive and survey. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate students of the Faculty of Literature of Tehran's Alzahra University during the years 2018 – 19. In this research 205 individuals were selected by simple random sampling. Research tools included a demographic-researcher-made checklist, creativity questionnaire, thinking style questionnaire, and self-efficacy questionnaire on job decision making. Research data were analyzed using descriptive methods (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation), Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis with simultaneous logistic regression. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between creativity and self-efficacy in job decision making (r = 0. 846, P <0. 05). The relationship between evaluative thinking style (r = 0. 671, P <0. 05) and legalistic thinking style (r = 0. 743, P <0. 05) with self-efficacy in job decision making were also significant, but this relationship was also significant. There was no significant difference with executive thinking style variable (r =-0 / 041, P <0. 05). Also, regression analysis with concurrent admission showed that predictor variables together could not explain 38% of the changes related to self-efficacy in job decision making among students.
