Abstract

Work engagement is an important thing that must be owned by teachers, especially female teachers in carrying out the functions of educational goals in an institution, especially high schools. So to achieve high work engagement, female teachers must have an optimistic attitude. This study aims to determine the relationship between optimism and work engagement in female teachers. In this study researchers used the work engagement scale, and the Optimism scale. The sample in this study were female teachers who were married or who had a partner and took care of the household who taught at senior high schools with a total of 86 teachers. The analysis technique in this study uses the product moment correlation technique. The results of the analysis show that (1) there is a relationship between optimism and work engagement, the value of r = 0.747. This shows that the higher the optimism, the higher the work engagement of female teachers. It is hoped that schools will need to facilitate teachers in increasing work engagement because there is high optimism through work and career counseling approaches for teachers, so that teachers can be more aware and open to the constraints and problems they face so they can find solutions for educational success.
