In recent years, there has been a lot of research on the sustainability of our environment
and economy. The results of the aforementioned research are widely available. However,
less is said about social sustainability and, in particular, about the managers and
employees of the future farming organisations, who are still at school or university
at the moment. Yet, today's students will be tomorrow's leaders and employees. But
what are the characteristics of these young people? What are their expectations and
ideas for the future? How anxious are they? How happy are they? What stable network
of relationships do they have? How many of them can see themselves running a business
and what are they doing about it? How conscious are they of their actions or do they
just go with the tide? Our research questions will be answered by using the results
of a survey – which has been running since 2019, and which is based on the second
semester of 2022/23 including 609 subjects – regarding students studying at higher
education institutions of economics in Budapest. We are hopeful that our results can
contribute to the field of sustainable mental health by focusing on global well-being,
resilience, self-regulation and peer efficacy.
