AN EXAMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT ON THE STRESS LEVELS AND PERSONALITIES OF MANAGEMENT STUDENTS: A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE FUNCTION OF LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

In the age of digital transformation, bringing technology into the classroom has made it easier to talk to each other, learn, and grow professionally. However, excessive use of social media has created problems for kids' mental health, personality development, and long-term healthy habits. This research investigates the influence of social media usage on the stress levels and personality characteristics of management students via the lens of the Five Factor Model, contextualizing the results within the overarching paradigm of sustainable development. Sustainable development in school stresses mental health, balanced use of technology, and being ready for work. The research underscores the significance of logistics management—a crucial element of sustainable economic systems—in cultivating responsible digital communication practices, effective time management, and informed decision-making among prospective managers. The study employs a correlational research methodology and chi-square analysis to uncover substantial relationships between social media usage and personality traits, including agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. The results provide valuable information for educators, institutions, and politicians who want to improve mental health, make ethical decisions about logistics, and create sustainable academic ecosystems.
