Abstract

The study conducted in Kolkata found that emotional well-being is crucial for management education. The researcher conducted a cross-sectional quantitative survey among 200 management graduates at 10 institutions. They found a significant inverse relationship between good emotional well-being and perceived stress and a slight positive link between negative emotional well-being and personal suffering. The study also found that 61.3% of differences in perceived stress ratings could be reliably predicted. This innovative approach aims to improve the sustainability of management education in the business sector. The findings can be interpreted using facial feedback and cognitive appraisal theories of emotional well-being. The study highlights the importance of incorporating emotional well-being programs in management education.
