In simple random sampling, 24 subjects were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups, with 12 subjects in each group. Data were collected using the Kadozir (2002) Professional Ethics Questionnaire and the Spector (1997) Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90 minutes and only one session of positive thinking skills training as an intervention each week. While the control group did not receive any training.
