We present the perspectives on mental well-being of 63 Doctoral students (DS) undertaking a PhD in business schools in United Kingdom (UK) universities. Utilising a cross-sectional survey, the aims of this study are to 1. Capture business and management doctoral students' (DSs) views on their mental well-being and the factors that affect it. 2. Critically review the influence of the business school learning environment on doctoral student well-being. 3. Reflect on the effectiveness of business schools’ support for the well-being of doctoral students.

Findings indicate that many business school doctoral students viewed their mental well-being negatively and more than half considered their personal well-being as their own problem. Personal and interpersonal factors caused a very high percentage of their negative mental well-being issues, with the majority of research supervisors being viewed as a positive support.

However, in business school doctoral training programmes, respondents reported minimal input on managing and understanding their personal well-being, despite research which correlates faculty and departmental support for well-being and PhD completion. In the light of these findings we suggest that individual business schools should review their training curriculum for doctoral students to prevent over-reliance on the supervisory team and offer more formal training on managing mental well-being.

我们介绍了在英国（UK）大学的商学院攻读博士学位的63名博士生（DS）的心理健康观点。利用横断面调查，本研究的目的是：1.掌握商科和管理学博士生（DSs）对他们的心理健康及其影响因素的看法。2.批判性地审查商学院学习环境对博士生幸福感的影响。3.反思商学院对博士生的支持的有效性。

研究结果表明，许多商学院的博士生对自己的心理健康状况持负面看法，一半以上的人认为自己的健康状况是他们自己的问题。个人和人际关系因素造成了很大比例的负面心理健康问题，大多数研究主管被认为是积极的支持。

然而，在商学院进行的博士培训课程中，尽管进行了研究，将教职人员和部门对幸福感和博士学位的完成情况进行了相关研究，但受访者在管理和理解自己的幸福感方面的投入却很少。根据这些发现，我们建议各个商学院应审查其博士生的培训课程，以防止对监督团队的过度依赖，并提供有关管理心理健康的更正式的培训。
