Abstract: Well-being is an essential element of life among people from all walks of life and the indigenous people communities are of no exception despite the fact that they still depend on nature and not entirely in the current state of modernity. This study will identify the level of well-being and the type of personality of Orang Asli community in Sungai Sayap, Terengganu. The data for this study were obtained from 20 respondents representing 65% of the Orang Asli community in Sungai Sayap. Descriptive and correlation analysis were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 20). The study found that there is a significant relationship between well-being and personality among Indigenous people (Orang Asli) in Sungai Sayap, Terengganu. The findings of this study are expected to help the responsible parties to ensure that the well-being of the Indigenous people is taken care of and proper attention to the factors affecting the well-being of Indigenous people is given priority especially in planning social intervention efforts to further enhance the well-being of the Indigenous people in Terengganu, Malaysia.
