Teachers' motivation and well-being are critical for the quality and sustainability of educational systems, yet they are increasingly threatened by systemic challenges and professional demands. This systematic literature review examines how teachers' Basic Psychological Needs (BPNs) (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), derived from Self-Determination theory (SDT), tend to be supported or undermined, and explores the outcomes commonly associated with their satisfaction. Following a rigorous screening process guided by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), 102 studies were included. The review identifies a range of factors linked to BPN satisfaction, including leadership styles, collegial and social support, professional control, personal attributes, and job demands. Across the reviewed literature, BPN satisfaction is frequently associated with teachers' motivation, well-being, and professional resilience. While patterns vary, BPN satisfaction often aligns with lower burnout levels, higher intrinsic motivation, and particular teaching approaches that emphasize engagement and innovation. Moreover, autonomy, competence, and relatedness often appear to interact dynamically with relational factors such as collegial trust and student-teacher relationships, playing a vital role in need satisfaction. By consolidating fragmented research on teachers and Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction Theory, this review provides actionable insights for policymakers, school leaders, and educators. While systemic and targeted interventions, such as leadership training and workload management, are frequently discussed, the broader influence of public policies on creating the conditions for BPN satisfaction remains underexplored. Addressing this gap may help understand how regulatory frameworks shape teachers’ well-being and motivation, offering new directions for research and practice.
