Abstrak

Organizational culture within elementary education has proven to play a vital role in shaping a work climate conducive to optimal learning (Handayani et al., 2024; Hayati et al., 2023; Schein, 2016). This study aims to analyze the relationship between organizational culture and work climate in elementary schools and their impact on teaching and learning outcomes. Using a literature review of 60 primary sources (2020–2025), findings reveal that a supportive organizational culture improves motivation, job satisfaction, and teacher performance, while strengthening student character (Hoy & Miskel, 2008; Rahwanto, 2022). Multicultural values, effective communication, and inclusive leadership are key foundations for a productive work climate. Compared to previous theory and research, integrating organizational culture is a fundamental basis for positive work climates and successful learning. This study concludes that organizational culture is highly relevant as the foundation for elementary education success and calls for empirical validation through further research.
