Abstract
This study aimed to test the effect of basic psychological needs toward the school well-being. This quantitative study uses a causal relationship research design. A total of 150 students were taken from six primary schools using a multi stage cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected by using two types of instruments, namely instruments to measure basic psychological needs; and instruments to measure school well-being. Data then analyzed by using regression. The findings showed there was an effect of the basic psychological needs on school well being. The need for relatedness is the most predictor to school well-being; whereas the need of autonomy is not associated significantly with school well-being.
