Abstract
Motivated by a dearth of research on student’s stress, particularly in the context of Indonesia, the author attempts to analyze the relationship among stress, Type A personality, and academic performance in an Indonesian business school. Hierarchical regression is applied to examine this relationship. In addition, questionnaires were distributed to 628 students in various departments and semesters. As expected, this research reveals that students’ stress negatively affects academic performance. Type A personality has proven to have a positive effect on academic performance. Ultimately, university should create a positive competitive atmosphere, build competency to map students’ personality that specifically is causing stress, and present the stress management practice to lead students in coping with stress.
