Abstract

The present quantitative study aims to explore the relationships between the professional mobility and creative teachers in the Tunis region, randomly sampled (n = 338).

The results obtained reveals higher creativity among mobile teachers compared to stable teachers. In addition, the study showed a significant positive relationship between professional mobility and creative teachers, especially younger ones.
