The sampling was available type and the volume of the sample was included 71 one. The tool of the research had been included the questionnaires of Rogers self-concept (1951), Abedi’s creativity (1992) and Sherer general self-efficacy (1982). To analysis data, the structural equations modeling method was applied using Lisrel software. The results showed that the indirect effect of self-concept on self-efficacy was significant with mediation of creativity in dimensions of fluency, originality and flexibility, but the effect of self-concept on self-efficacy through mediation of creativity in dimension of elaboration was not significant. As a result, the fluency, originality and flexibility dimensions were mediators of self-concept with self-efficacy.
