The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between decision making skills and students’ behaviour management. The study was conducted at secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur by utilising a quantitative survey design. The samples of the study were 557 Form Four students who were selected based on random stratified sampling technique. As for data collection process, questionnaires with high reliability index were distributed to the respondents which covered student demography, decision making skills and students’ behaviour management. Data were analysed descriptively and inferentially by using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 24.0). Results from descriptive analysis indicated that students’ decision making skills level was average (mean=3.45, SD=0.51). The same was also found for students’ behaviour which was also reported as average level (mean = 3.61, SD = 0.68). Findings from inferential statistics by using Pearson Correlation revealed that decision making skillshad significant relationship and highly correlated with student behaviour management (r = 0.758). This study indicated that when students had high decision making skills level, their behaviour management was also high. It is hoped that this study could contribute to the theoretical and practical aspects for relevant parties so that they would concentrate on decision making skills factor in producing the next generation.
