Abstract

Stress is always present in people's lives, including in the acade- mic environment, is responsible for changes and instability in the individual's health subject to possible manifestations, systemic, physiological and psychological disorders. This study aims to identify the predominant stressors in Business Administration students at the Federal University of Grande Dourados and to verify if the stressors influence the decision to stay in the course. To ob- tain the results, a field research was carried out with the support of bibliographic and documentary research. By its nature, it is characterized by the quantitative approach. The universe of the study was a student body composed by academics regularly enrolled in the second semester of 2019, from the Administration course of the Federal University of Grande Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. For data collection, questionnaires were applied on a given day of the year, students who were in the classroom and expressed their desire to answer, a total of 105 students who received the questionnaire and 95% of the questionnaires delivered were properly answered and returned. Secondary data were collected through documentary research in academic reports and the Pedago- gical Project of the Course provided by the Course Coordination. The study shows that as for gen- der there is a predominance of females. Regarding the time of entry to the course, most respon- dents were newcomers to the course in 2019. The predominant stressors indicated by academics are: fear of failing a subject or being dependent; complete undergraduate requirements (grades, internship, tcc); personal debts and difficulty learning certain content, the latter considered to be very stressful due to the pressures that the faculty passes on a new change. The results indicates that students who are finishing the course tend to be more influenced by stress due to the pressure to finish the course in time.
