A Study on the Factors Influencing the Incidence of Academic Stress among Management Students in Mumbai

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to define academic stress and investigate its constituent elements in postgraduate management students. Numerous stressors have been found by experts who have long studied academic stress in students. In order to pinpoint the specific reasons that are contributing to stress, the study also attempts to conduct a thorough investigation into each aspect of academic stress, including curriculum, group work-related concerns, evaluation, and placement. Variables for each stressor were gathered and incorporated into the questionnaire to gather primary data, based on qualitative information gathered from in-person interviews with 20 management students. 397 postgraduate management students from different management institutes located in Mumbai make up the sample for the quantitative study.
