The statistical population of the study was 150 employees of the educational field of the Kerman Province Red Crescent Society, of which 108 were selected as a sample based on statistical formulas and considering the size of the population.In order to collect data and information for analysis, standard questionnaires of resilience of Connor and Davidson (2003), entanglement of Crossley et al. (2007), job satisfaction of Greenhaus et al. (1990) and creative performance of Wang and Netmeyer (2004) were used.The validity of the data collection tool was calculated and confirmed.The results of the study showed that resilience has a significant direct effect on job satisfaction and creative performance, job embeddedness has a significant direct effect on job satisfaction, but job resilience has no significant direct effect on job embeddedness and job embeddedness has no significant direct effect on creative performance. Therefore, considering the significant values of the indirect effects, it is observed that resilience does not have a significant indirect effect on job satisfaction through the mediating variable of job embeddedness, and resilience does not have a significant indirect effect on creative performance through the mediating variable of job embeddedness.
