Apart from civil servants, which hold the status of full-time and permanent employees, there are other type of government employees, called "honorary or part-time employees".

The data analysis indicate a significant effect of gratitude on job satisfaction with (F = 50.908, and R2 = 0.158, with p < 0.01). This result means that gratitude contributes 15.8% in shaping job satisfaction among the teacher. This means that the higher a person is grateful at work, the higher the level of job satisfaction, and vice versa, the lower a person is grateful at work, the lower the level of job satisfaction.
