The data analysis technique used to test the hypothesis was regression analysis.Results : The results of the study showed that work-life balance plays a positive role in gratitude. The higher the work-life balance, the higher the gratitude among female teachers. The Sig value < 0.05 or t count > t table, with a t value of work-life balance = 8.061 and Sig 0.000, which means that work-life balance has a positive effect on gratitude with a regression coefficient value of 0.335. This means that the higher the work-life balance, the higher the gratitude of female teachers in high schools.
