Once verified and validated; the study was applied to the sample population amounting to (1156) people from the directorates general of education across Oman who hold the posts below the directors of departments and section heads. To answer the questions of the study, the T test and the one-way analysis of variance were used.
The most remarkable findings of the study are as follows:
. The degree of organizational trust within the directorates general of education in
Oman with respect to the two dimensions of trust in the co-workers and the trust in the direct supervisor was high, while the degree of trust in the dimension of the senior management was moderate. There are no statistically significant variances for the degree of the organizational trust dimensions within the directorates general of education in Oman which are attributable to the gender variable with respect to the two dimensions of trust in co-workers and the direct supervisor. There are statistically significant variances for the dimension of trust in senior management in respect of males. . For the variable of academic qualification, there are statistically significant variances in the two dimensions of the trust in co-workers and trust in supervisor in respect of the holders of bachelor's degree. . For the variable years of experience, there are statistically significant variances in the dimensions of trust in co-workers and trust in the direct supervisor in respect of staff with over 10 years of experience. . As for the degree of practicing creative administrative behavior for employees in the directorates general of education in Oman, the degree of practice was high in all dimensions of the creative administrative behavior.

The results also show a positive correlation relation and a statistic function at the significance level of (a00.01) between the dimensions of the organizational trust and the creative administrative behavior of the employees of the directorates general of education in Oman.
