In this survey study a sample of 160 high schools was randomly selected from a total of 280 using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using two separate questionnaires including Organizational Structure (three dimensions) and Organizational Creativity (six dimensions) measures. Both scales had satisfactory formal validities and reliabilities. Data were analyzed using T-test and two-way ANOVA. Results indicated that high schools with organic structure demonstrated more organizational creativity. Also, in all six creativity dimensions, high schools with organic structure were found to be higher than those with mechanic structure. Therefore, it can be concluded that organic structures tend more to take risks, to be open to vague views, and to encourage new ideas while they are less resistant against change and conflicting views.
