Abstract
The aim of the current research was to study the relationship between psychological ownership and knowledge creation and openness to change in physical education teachers. The current research is applied and correlational, and data collection was done in the field. The statistical population included 575 physical education teachers in Golestan province in 1401, of which 231 were selected as a stratified random sample using Morgan's table. To collect the data of this research, three standard questionnaires of psychological ownership (Shukla and Singh, 2015), knowledge creation (Song et al., 2010) and openness to change (Yilmaz, 2010) were used. The validity of the questionnaires was verified by 7 sports management doctorates. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS and SmartPLS software. The research findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between psychological ownership and knowledge creation and openness to change in physical education teachers. According to the obtained results, it seems that physical education teachers, by developing the level of psychological ownership and under the influence of individual and organizational factors towards their jobs, with methods such as creating independence from organizations, play an important role in promoting knowledge creation and accepting fundamental changes in education.
