Abstract

This study examines four national teacher innovation teams formed through different approaches, analyzing their organizational culture using organizational culture theory. Findings reveal that sound institutional structures and supportive environments underpin team stability, while functional positioning and leader charisma shape team values. Preexisting cultural foundations promote autonomous and efficient operations. Clear construction goals enhance outcomes and shared beliefs, and leaders’ resource coordination affects efficiency and morale. Existing culture influences operational mechanisms and team stability. To strengthen cohesion and sustainability, the study recommends dynamic member adjustment, leader selection based on managerial competence and charisma, and the establishment of a dedicated resource coordinator to improve team effectiveness and innovation.
