Cognitive abilities, personality, motivation, knowledge, behavior, emotions, development factors are essential for teachers. The purpose of this study is to provide capacity-building strategies to encourage teacher innovation through personal activities and the external work environment. This study was directed in a descriptive way based on the 2018 UKG scores, which were obtained from the NPD Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemdikbud) website. Our analysis shows that innovative teacher work behavior can be a reference and valuable contribution to improving teacher competency both in terms of pedagogical and professional abilities. Teachers must work in a climate fostering creativity and innovation to ensure a globally competitive educational output.
