Abstract

Job satisfaction is an important target in human resource management because it will directly or indirectly affect work productivity. Conversely, high satisfaction is desired by leaders because it can be associated with the positive results they expect. High job satisfaction indicates that a school organization has been well managed with effective management. This School Action Research was located at SLB Negeri Duri, which was addressed to teachers at SLB Negeri Duri. The main reason was that based on the observation, teachers’ job satisfaction was still low. The population in this study was all 15 teachers at SLB Negeri Duri. Based on the results of the study, it was known that 1) The aspect of giving rewards brought by the tutor increased teachers’ job satisfaction in the second cycle.
