[Abstract] Against the background of limited urban space and growing demands for school physical edu-cation in Macao, the teaching environment has become increasingly important to the profesional experience ofphysical education teachers. This study examined the current state of the physical education teaching environ-ment and teacher well-being among physical education teachers in private primary and secondary schools inMacao, as well as the relationship between the two. A mixed-methods design was adopted. The results showedthat both the physical education teaching environment and teacher well-being were generally at a relativelygood level. Among the dimensions of the teaching environment, the psychological environment received thehighest rating, while the physical environment received the lowest. In terms of teacher well-being, professionaldentity was relatively high, whereas teaching satisfaction was comparatively low. Correlation analysis indicatedthat all dimensions of the physical education teaching environment were significanly and positively associatedwith teacher well-being. The interview findings further suggested that facilities, resource allocation, schoolrecognition, and workload were important factors affecting teachers' well-being. These findings suggest that, un-der limited spatial conditions, schools in Macao should improve their support system for physical educationteaching through physical, peychological, and institutional-cultural environments, thereby enhancing teachersprofessional well-being and promoting the high-quality development of school physical education.
