The Happiness of Honorary Paud Teachers: Between Devotion and Needs (Happiness Honorary Teachers: Between Devotion and Necessity)
Abstract
Demands for equal work between honorary teachers and civil servants but no social security or benefits are obtained and there is no equality of salaries of honorary teachers. The purpose of this study is to find out the picture of happiness in PAUD teachers who have honorary status. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Researchers used data retrieval methods with interviews and observations with guidelines based on happiness theory. Researchers took 3 participants in this study, namely PAUD teachers who have honorary status. The results explained that there are three factors that affect happiness, namely self-acceptance, social support and gratitude that the individual has. The higher the three factors, the higher the level of happiness of the individual.
