Dewasa ini, industri kreatif memiliki potensi yang besar guna mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia (Sugiarto, 2018). Meski memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap Negara, namun nyatanya karyawan yang bekerja di bidang tersebut memiliki pendapatan yang relatif rendah. Bekerja sesuai passion diketahui merupakan hal yang membuat karyawan menikmati pekerjaannya di bidang industri kreatif. Penelitian korelasional ini bertujuan untuk meneliti peran basic psychological needs terhadap hubungan antara perceived autonomy support dan harmonious passion. Penelitian ini melibatkan karyawan penuh waktu yang bekerja di bidang industri kreatif (N = 133). Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah Work Climate Questionnaire, Passion Scale, dan Basic Psychological Needs at Work Scale. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat efek tidak langsung antara perceived autonomy support terhadap harmonious passion melalui basic psychological needs (r = 0,28 , p < 0,01) dan masih terdapat efek langsung antara perceived autonomy support terhadap harmonious passion melalui basic psychological needs (r = 0,55, p < 0,01). Akhirnya, dapat disimpulkan bahwa basic psychological needs dapat secara parsial memediasi hubungan antara perceived autonomy support dan harmonious passion.
