Because of this reason, a lot of researches have been done to clarify creativity. Gilford (1950) believed that creativity is a collection of individual characters and abilities. In his view, creativity is a divergent thinking that means thinking in different dimensions. Other researchers like Baron and Harrington (1981) and Amabile (1989), asserted that creativity is a social subject. Henessy and Amabile (1989) write: " our inquiries have shown that social and environmental factors play the main role in creative work. We realized that there is a strong relation between personal motivation and creativity and mostly social environment effects on creativity".
