Popis: The main purpose of this research was to investigate the moderating role of psycho-social needs in the relationships between job demands and organizational citizenship behaviors, task performance, and creativity. The statistical population included the employees of a company affiliated to Ministry of Petroleum in Bandarabas, and from among them, 187 persons were selected using simple random sampling. The research instruments consisted of: needs questionnaire (Yamaguchi, 2003), job demands and task performance questionnaires (Babakas et al, 2009), creativity questionnaire (Tierney et al, 1999), and organizational citizenship behaviors questionnaire (Bukhari and Ali, 2009). The data were analyzed with the use of hierarchical regression analysis. Results revealed that need for affiliation moderates the relationship between role overload and ambiguity with task performance and organizational citizenship behaviors, and need for power moderates the relationship between role overload and ambiguity with creativity. Also, need for power moderates the relationship between role conflict with task performance, with creativity and organizational citizenship behaviors. The results of the current research revealed that needs could relate behavioral tendencies to job stresses.
