The study considers the creative leadership, the organizational culture, and the learning institution's motivation. The study uses a cross-sectional survey research design and a convenience sampling strategy, sampling a target number of 612 preschool, primary, secondary, and high school teachers from the city of Bursa Turkey, during the academic year 2023–2024. The four structures of cultures’ mediating functions: Clan, Adhocracy, Market, and Hierarchy, were estimated by the structural equation model. The analysis indicated creative leadership had a significant motivational influence, but prime motivators were Adhocracy and Clan cultures which foster teamwork, confidence, and innovation. The Market culture had a double impact of increasing the level of performance as well as diminishing intrinsic motivation. The second case witnessed the interaction between creative leadership and the set of the motivational factors eliminated by the adverse contribution of Hierarchy culture, which elevated rigidity and control. This finding supports the claim for the necessity of having supple and caring cultural structures in place for educational institutions for achieving the optimum motivational influence of creative leadership
