Abstract: Innovative behaviour is essential for improving school teachers' performance, yet models of innovative work behaviour in this context remain underexplored. This study investigates how learning orientation culture and self-determination influence teachers' innovative work behaviour, based on the theory of planned behaviour. Mediating factors include attitudes toward innovation, subjective norms for innovation, innovation efficacy, and innovative intention. Surveying 373 private school teachers across Java, Indonesia, covering K-12 education, the study finds that applying the theory of planned behaviour in this context differs from its general use. Background factors enhance innovative work behaviour through intention, mediated by attitudes and norms and directly via innovation efficacy without intention. The findings advance the theory of planned behaviour in education and offer practical recommendations for school management to foster a learning orientation culture and self-determination that support teacher innovation.

Keywords: innovative; teacher; theory of planned behaviour; learning orientation; self-determination.
