It can be highly influenced by internal and external environmental factors, such as perceived teacher support. Methods: In order to explore the influence of perceived teacher support on student engagement among higher vocational students, this study conducted a questionnaire on 1,136 Chinese higher vocational students using perceived teacher support, basic psychological needs satisfaction, learning drive, student engagement and Optimistic attributional styles for explaining positive events (OAS_P) five scales. Results: The results show that: (1) Perceived teacher support can't indirectly predict the student engagement among higher vocational students through basic psychological needs satisfaction; (2) Perceived teacher support can indirectly predict student engagement through learning drive; (3) Perceived teacher support can indirectly predict student engagement through basic psychological needs satisfaction and learning drive; (4) OAS_P has a significant moderation effect on both learning drive and student engagement. Discussion: The finding of this study stated that perceived teacher support has a significant influence on student engagement.
