Advantages and Disadvantages IV. CONCLUSION Abstract Most likely, every student transcends their limitations nowadays. They juggle time in working, education, and social life. For what reason that is, well, they do this in order to be able to pay up for education expenses. Some others just do this to earn a little extra spending money, for them to be able to buy something which they want to avail without them begging their parents for it. Basically, part time work is their only choice to get that money they need if they do not have student loans offered at their university. Some students need to pay up for rent, tuition, and etc. Working part time gives them the money and the thought of realizing how important it is. They are also provided with the thought of handling their responsibilities very well if they work part time during college days. Indeed, working while studying can be tough to handle. It forces you to manage your time and your responsibilities. Sometimes, it makes you choose...

...2013 Part-time students vs. Full-time The number of students attending college part-time seems to be rising more and more each year. Most students are more than likely to work while in college. Students attending college part-time has increased more than 10 percent within the last 30 years. Most students who are attending college have to get a job to support themselves along the way. Many of them believe that if they have a job while in college, they will have an even better job once they graduate and receive their bachelors or even master’s degree. Students that are attending college while working a part-time job like to think of their selves as young adults. They are trying to do everything they can to pay the bills and get themselves back and forth to school and work. Students who attend a community college tend to work more hours per week than students who attend a University. Most part-time students only make minimum wage due to the fact that most of their time is being occupied by going to class and studying. It is proven that “effects of working while in college varies by the type of job held and its relation to the academic environment”. (Working in college, 8) Part-time student employment has many advantages. It is a fact that students that are in class more than they are at work have higher GPAs than those who work more than they are in class. Professors believe that students who work part-time are have more performance than those who work full-time. Full-time employment...

...High school students in part-time employment: What effects on scholastic performance? Educators in the United States have long argued about the effects of part-time work on the academic performance of high school students. Though many studies claim that there is a relationship between a student’s grade point average (GPA) – the standard measure academic performance in high schools and universities in the US – and the number of hours the students is employed, there seems little agreement on what that relationship is. Several studies (Sneider, 1982; Wallace, 1988; Johnson and Payne, 1989) suggest that students who work after school do better in their school work than students who do not have a job. Peel and Maas (1990), meanwhile, suggest that students with part-time job generally do worse than their classmates who do not work at all. Still other research claims the amount of hours worked outside school hours is of very minor importance; much more important in influencing a student’s performance in school are the student’s habits and home life (Alvares, 1987). Of seven major studies on high school students in employment received by Bjarnes and Doi (1990), four studies specifically investigated the relationship between scholastic achievement and part-time work. Of these, two concluded that students who work beyond a certain amount of hours per week tent to have generally lower GPAs (Walson and Yin, 1990; Corbelli, 1989). These two studies noted...

...Increasing university fees and wish to be independent from parents is encouraging university students to have part-time jobs. During past ten years number of working students increased by 54% . According to the 'Guardian', 52% of university students in UK have part-time jobs to fund their studying an living costs. As this type of job might take up to 35 hours a week, we are going to investigate possible outcomes on social life and academic results. Research made in Australia shows, that students who have part-time jobs are more likely to be happy about many aspects of their lives, especially social ones. However if the biggest part of their free time is occupied with job, do they have to sacrifice their social life in order to keep high grades and be productive at work? Usually, part time jobs does not require deep knowledge or experience, so are students taking these jobs only for financial purposes, or they also have career perspectives in the field/company they are working in part-time? Lastly, have students ever considered leaving their jobs if studying results were decreasing, or maybe they had thoughts to drop- out of university as salary was satisfying enough not to seek further degree? To find out these answers 20 random university students will be surveyed. First, and most common error is stereotyping. Companies loose qualified and skilled workers only because of this kind of unintentional discrimination. Grouping and labeling people according to one of...

...Furthermore, the essay discusses the impact of this on their experience at university and on their performance. Typically, a lot of college students have part-time job while studying at university. This situation may have positive or negative effects on their scholastic performance. As Applegate and Daly (2006) stated that it is vital to realize that negative results might be happened when higher educational students undertaking paid work. Besides, there is potential advantage for scholars to ameliorate their organisational skills. Understandably, paid employment might have either advantage or disadvantage for undergraduate students. This essay will argue that in general paid work have negative influence on student’s academic performance although it is depending on the age and how many hours they work. Further, it is argue that students are sacrificing leisure time because of having part-time job. The essay also indicates that many factors may effect on student’s performance at university and their experience. There are more and more university students undertaking paid work. The condition might have advantage or disadvantage rely on their age and working hours. According to Mcinnis, James and Hartley (as cited in Applegate and Daly 2006) “students who are first-year in seven Australian universities, found that the percentage of full-time students in paid-employment had grown from 42 percent to 51 percent” (p.155). This means that there was increasing number of higher educational students...

...Student ID: 1000 120 | The Effect of Part-Time Employment on Academic Performance | Research Methods Assignment 2014 | Module title: Reseach Methods Module Leader: Artane Rizvanolli Lecturer: Richard Tomiak | Many students find themselves in the position of needing employment while trying to attend classes. Some take out loans, or qualify for grants or scholarships. Others, however, are left to pay their own way by working fulltime or part-time employment. Approximately 80 % of students are employed while attending college. This percentage has led students believe that those students who work will be effecting their GDP in a bad way. However, some believe that working can have a positive effect. Work is becoming increasingly common among college students. Most students are having problem with balancing their work and academic requirements to maintain their life. Those who take on part-time jobs are less engaged in school before they enter the labor force, and part-time employment, “especially for more than 20 hours weekly, further exacerbates this problem” (Steinberg...

...college-level work than their predecessors. Once they get to college, they tend to spend fewer hours studying while spending more hours working, some even full time (D. T. Smart, C. A. Kelley, & J. S. Conant, 1999). In this study, the authors examined the effect of both time spent studying and time spent working on academic performance. The authors further evaluated the interaction of motivation and ability with study time and its effect on academic performance. The results suggested that nonability variables like motivation and study time significantly interact with ability to influence academic performance. Contrary to popular belief, the amount of time spent studying or at work had no direct influence on academic performance. The authors also addressed implications and direction for future research.

Its effect on the academic performance of students has been questioned by many researchers (Green, 1987). Some of the issues raised in the literature concern matters such as the number of hours worked, whether or not the students' jobs pertain to their majors, and the students' workloads. As more students are employed, they face having to balance their academic requirements, extracurricular...

However, the students who have a part-time job have less time to keep interpersonal relationship, stay healthy, and study. To have a good interpersonal relationship in college is very important. Making good use of the time after school to join the associations, going out or discussing lessons with classmates after school all can improve the skills of social interactions. Nevertheless, the part-time job takes the students most of the time after school. So the students who have a part-time job after school might lose the chance to make friends, and build up desirable interpersonal relationships. To keep up the health is important but difficult to the students who have to work after school due to some reasons. First, the students who have to work after school might have to stay up to do their homework or reports; second, they might use their rest time to work; third, their immunity against disease might decrease. Therefore, it could be difficult for them to keep their health. Also they might sleep in classes or miss the classes because of insufficient rest and sleep as the result of long-time working after school. To focus on studying is the duty of students; however, it is usually difficult to those students who have a part-time job. Most of those students have less time to prepare...

...RESEARCH JOURNAL Published March 17, 2005 The Effects of College Student Employment on Academic Achievement Faculty Mentor: Dr. Jana Jasinski Lauren E. Watanabe ABSTRACT: With college tuition and the cost of living rising, many students find themselves in the position of needing employment while trying to attend classes. This study examines the effects that employment has on college students’ academic achievement and other possible factors that might have contributed. Republication not permitted without written consent of the author. www.URJ.ucf.edu 38 THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL 1: 38–47 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of college student employment on academic achievement. Presently, 55% to 80% of students are employed while attending college (Miller, 1997; King, 1998). These high percentages have led some to believe that students who work suffer from decreased academic performance (Steinberg, Fegley, & Dornbusch, 1993). However, others feel that employment can have a positive effect if in the proper proportions (Dallam & Hoyt, 1981). Research regarding this topic is mixed. Consequently, the current study will attempt to provide further empirical evidence with which to better understand the effects of employment on academic achievement. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Employment among college students has been increasing rapidly. Its effect on the academic performance of students has been...

...into different parts and each individual should be assigned only one part of the work according to his ability and taste rather than giving the whole work to one person. When a particular individual performs the same job repeatedly, he will become an expert in doing that particular part of the whole job. Consequently, the benefits of specialisation will become available. For example, a furniture manufacturer gets an order for manufacturing 100 lecture stands. He has five workers who will do the job. There are two ways to complete this order. First, every worker should be asked to complete 20 lecture stands. The second method can be distributing different parts of the lecture stand-legs, top board, centre support, assembling and polishing-to all the five workers in a manner that only one worker does the same job for all the 100 lecture stands. Here, Fayol’s indication is to the second way to do this job and not the former one. The principle of division of labour applies not only to the workers but also equally to the managers. For example, if a manager is tuned to work on the same kind of activities for a long period of time, he will certainly be an expert in his particular job. Consequently, more and beneficial decisions can be taken in a comparatively less time by him. Positive Effect advantages of specialisation are obtained, such as increase in the quality of work, increase in the speed of production, decrease in the wastage of resources. Violating Effect the above-mentioned...

...There are many causes and in-turn, effects from unemployment: with unemployment comes negative effects; outsourcing jobs, growth of unemployment; economic recession, drastic statistical changes in Employment Security Department; Obama's job creation Act. However, the fall of the economy and push into a recession is probably the major catalyst for the current U.S. Unemployment problem which the other causes stem from The recession is causing the growth of unemployment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 114,000 new jobs were created last month, according to its Establishment Survey of business payrolls that has been stressed by the Obama Administration. This is a joke, especially because it is supposed to be the fourth year of a recovery since the National Bureau of Economic Research scored the recession officially over in June, 2009. The working age population grew by 206,000 last month. With two-thirds of those working during a normal recovery, 138,000 new jobs would have been in September just to keep pace with population growth. The working age population has increased by 8.4 million since President Obama entered office. But new data shows that during President Obama’s entire term in office, a total of only 787,000 jobs have been created overall. And all of that growth came in the last month. Obama's Job Creation Act lead to many interesting findings by The Bureau of Labor Statistics. They reported that full time jobs declined by 216,000 last month. The...

...program are used to examine the relationship between working during school and academic performance. Particular attention is paid to the importance of biases that are potentially present because the number of hours that are worked is endogenously chosen by the individual. A “naive” OLS regression, which indicates that a positive and statistically significant relationship exists between hours-worked and grade performance, highlights the potential importance of endogeneity bias in this context. Although a fixed effects estimator suggests that working an additional hour has an effect on grades which is quantitatively very close to zero, we suggest that there are likely to exist causes of endogeneity which are not addressed by the fixed effects estimator. Indeed, an instrumental variables approach, which takes advantage of unique institutional details of the work-study program at this school, indicates that working an additional hour has a negative and quantitatively large effect on grade performance at this school. The results suggest that, even if results appear “reasonable,” a researcher should be cautious when drawing policy conclusions about the relationship between hours-worked and a particular outcome of interest unless he/she is confident that potential problems associated with the endogeneity of hours have been adequately addressed.
