Furthermore, there is a relationship between the work environment (X2) and job satisfaction (Y) if work facilities (X2) are included as a control variable but the effect is weakened to 0.601. So this study suggests re-evaluating the work facilities provided whether it is necessary to make adjustments or increase the provision of work facilities based on current developments so that their influence is stronger in creating a positive work environment for educators.
