Abstract

Organizational culture plays a crucial role in shaping teacher job performance in public basic schools. This study systematically examines the relationship between organizational culture and teacher motivation, engagement, and instructional effectiveness. Using a systematic literature review approach, the study synthesizes findings from multiple peer-reviewed sources to explore how school culture influences teacher commitment, job satisfaction, and student outcomes. The findings reveal that strong organizational culture characterized by transformational leadership, professional development, recognition systems, and participatory decision-making enhances teacher performance and retention. Conversely, schools with weak or fragmented cultures, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and inadequate support structures experience lower teacher engagement, high turnover, and reduced instructional quality. The study further identifies key cultural elements, including collaboration, workload balance, leadership styles, and innovation, that significantly impact teacher efficiency. Best practices for strengthening organizational culture are highlighted, including leadership training, reducing bureaucratic constraints, fostering mentorship programs, and implementing structured reward systems. These strategies create an environment that supports teacher growth, enhances job satisfaction, and improves student learning outcomes. The study concludes that education policymakers and school administrators must prioritize cultural reforms in public basic schools to sustain teacher effectiveness. Additionally, future research should explore long-term interventions and policy-driven approaches to enhancing school culture in resource-limited settings. This study contributes to educational leadership literature by providing a framework for fostering positive organizational culture in schools, ensuring sustainable teacher motivation and improved educational quality.
