Abstract
This study examines the role of teacher interpersonal behavior in enhancing student well-being, with self-esteem as a mediating factor. Conducted with 395 elementary school students in Yogyakarta, the research utilized the Student Well-Being Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, and Teacher Interpersonal Behavior Scale. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships among variables. Results showed that teacher interpersonal behavior significantly and directly influenced student well-being (β = 0.558, p < 0.001) and indirectly affected it through self-esteem (β = 0.484, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the critical role of positive teacher-student interactions in fostering self-esteem, which in turn enhances overall well-being. The study underscores the need for teacher training programs to develop interpersonal skills that promote both self-esteem and well-being. By addressing this dynamic, the research contributes to educational psychology literature and offers actionable strategies for improving the quality of student-teacher relationships in schools.
