The tool is in the form of a questionnaire with a five-point rating scale. The term organizational culture is considered in relation to one of the subcultures in the school’s organiza-tional culture, at the team level – teachers’ team subculture. The article also contains the results of research on the intensity of individual categories of artefact in the or-ganizational culture of teachers’ teams. The necessity of continuous examination of the organizational culture as one of the conditions for the efficient functioning of the organization was indicated as well as a gap in the selection of available research tools serving this purpose was pointed out.
