The results of descriptive statistical analysis of the collected data show that only the indicators of the work environment are perceived as quite well as part of the compensation system by honorary teachers. In other words, it can be concluded that the overall compensation system applied to honorary teachers has not met the expectations of honorary teachers. Therefore, the compensation system for honorary teachers must be improved, including by increasing the effectiveness of the provision of salaries, allowances, policies in the work itself, and adequate facilities to support the effectiveness of teachers in teaching. In addition, it is recommended that the school be clearer about the compensation policy given to teachers, so that it is in accordance with the workload carried out.
