Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 8 indicators of teacher creativity and 10 indicators of learning motivation. Data analysis was carried out using AMOS through descriptive analysis, measurement model testing, and structural model testing. The findings revealed that teacher creativity was in the very high category with a mean score of 4.444, while students’ learning motivation was also in the very high category with a mean score of 4.392. The SEM results indicated that the proposed model had a good level of fit. Furthermore, teacher creativity had a positive and significant effect on students’ learning motivation, with a standardized path coefficient of 0.471 and a significance value of p < 0.001.
