Abstract: This study explores the factors influencing stress levels among Malaysian undergraduate students. Employing a survey research method, data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 110 undergraduate accounting students from a public university in Malaysia. The results indicate that academic performance satisfaction is significantly and negatively associated with stress levels, while financial difficulties show a significant positive relationship with stress. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and university administrators committed to improving mental health and well-being among university students.
