Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between well-being of IT
students and their mindset towards sustainability. Methodology: Data related to well-being, well-being activities, familiarity with sustainability, belief, attitude, and intention towards sustainability was collected using survey form. For consideration of sustainability of IT products or services, SusAF data for Chat-GPT was collected. Four factors were identified for the SusAF results: Broadness, Depth, Timescale, and Synthesis. Kendall’s correlation and Wilcoxon rank sum test was carried out among various aspects of well-being (well-being scores and activities for well-being) and sustainability (belief, attitude, intention, metrics for SusAF Factors). Also, qualitative analysis was done among various well-being aspects and SusAF factors. Findings: Overall, participants were found to have better belief, attitude and intention towards sustainability, irrespective of their well-being scores and well-being activities done by them. Statistical difference was observed for some metrics of SusAF factors, and qualitative differences in few of the factors was also observed with respect to the various aspects of well-being and well-being activities. Conclusion: The findings of this study has mostly resulted in an inconclusive relationship among the well-being and sustainability mindset of IT students.
