O florescimento no local de estudo: sobre o bem-estar dos universitários FAGEN – UFU.

Abstract

The present study analyzed the level of flourishing among students in the Administration and Information Management programs at the School of Management and Business of the Federal University of Uberlândia (FAGEN/UFU), using a quantitative descriptive approach and the Flourishing at Work Scale (EFLOT). Sociodemographic factors influencing perceived flourishing were evaluated, such as program, gender, age group, family income, and year of admission. The results showed higher average flourishing scores for the Administration program compared to Information Management, especially among female students and those in higher age and income groups. Students who entered in 2021 had the highest scores, while cohorts affected by external events showed reduced flourishing. The dimensions evaluated – optimism, competence, purpose, life satisfaction, and meaning – scored above the neutral point, revealing high engagement and well-being among the participants. The study suggests further exploration of the relationship between flourishing and academic dropout, as well as managerial recommendations for strengthening weaker dimensions in specific groups. The findings help promote healthier, more inclusive academic environments that foster student flourishing.
