        abstract = {The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools such as ChatGPT has significantly transformed the learning environment in higher education. Management students increasingly utilize ChatGPT for academic activities including assignments, idea generation, summaries, and concept clarification. While ChatGPT offers advantages such as accessibility, speed, and personalized learning support, concerns have emerged regarding its influence on students’ critical thinking ability and learning behaviour. This study investigates the impact of ChatGPT usage on critical thinking and learning behaviour among management students. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to management students using a five-point Likert scale. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were employed to interpret the findings. The study identifies both positive and negative implications of ChatGPT usage in management education and provides recommendations for responsible AI integration in academic learning environments.},
