Abstract:
The present research aims to explore the factors that contribute to the feeling of Monday Blues among employees in medium and top-level management positions across various industries in Mumbai (India). Fourteen facets were identified from the responses of 50 employees, which were used to finalize the contents of a questionnaire. Data was collected from 181 employees, and Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed three main factors: motivation to work, work environment, and work stress. These factors were then used as independent variables in a regression analysis with Monday Blues as the dependent variable. The results showed that motivation to work and work environment had an inverse impact on Monday Blues, while work stress had a direct impact on feelings of the Monday Blues.
