This study focus on the teacher satisfaction and work style based on the compensation given. This study aims; (1) to know the effect of compensation towards teachers’ work satisfaction, (2) to know the effect of work environment towards teachers’ work satisfaction, (3) to know the effect of  compensation and work environment simultaneously  towards teachers’ work satisfaction. The data analysis used in this research were descriptive analysis, pre-requirement test analysis, and hypothesis test including simple linier regression analysis that was used to know the effect of compensation towards teachers’ work satisfaction and the effect of work environment towards teachers’ work satisfaction and multiple regression analysis to know the effect of compensation and work environment simultaneously  towards teachers’ work satisfaction.  From the hypothesis testing, it is found that; (1) there was a positive effect of compensation towards teachers’ work satisfaction which revealed by Y=55.501 + 0.585 X₁ with the correlation coefficient as 0.834 with contribution about 0.695 or 6905%, (2) ) there is a positive effect of work environment towards teachers’ work satisfaction which revealed by Y=56.157 + 0.585 X₂ with the correlation coefficient as 0.740 with contribution about 0.547 or 54.7%, (3) there is a positive effect of  compensation and work environment simultaneously  towards teachers’ work satisfaction which revealed by Y=39.414 + 0.427 X₁ + 0.299 X₂ with the correlation coefficient as 0.887 with contribution about 0.788 or 78.8%.

To increase teachers’ work satisfaction, there must be the increase of compensation as the appreciation for teachers’ performance. Besides, a conducive work environment must be increased to increase teachers’ work satisfaction which will contribute to the increase of education quality
