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...

...effects of part time job Chapter 1 Theoretical framework The theory that guides the researcher in this study is the general concept of the “Law of Causality” .Causality is simply an inquiry that uses the ability to find explanations on cause-and-effect (Pearl, 1996). This helped explain certain phenomenon occurring in the realm of education. Causality tells us what is possible, what can be changed and what is difficult, if not impossible to change (Losh, 2001).

...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...

...University work part-time Employment during school could improve grades if working promotes aspects that correspond with academic success, such as industriousness or time management skills, or instead reduce grades by reducing time and energy available for school work. Otherwise, working might be associated with academic performance, yet not directly influence it, if unobserved student differences influence both labor supply and grades. Unmotivated students might neither work for pay nor receive good grades because they put little effort into the labor market or school. In contrast, HRM students uninterested in academics might work long hours that would otherwise have been devoted to leisure. Students might misjudge the link between college achievement and future earnings when making labor supply decisions. If so, obtaining a consistent estimate of how such decisions affect academic performance is prospectively important for policy consideration. Some of HRM students in Taguig City University Students are more likely to work than they are to live on campus, to study full time, to attend a four-year college or university, or to apply for or receive financial aid. Students work regardless of the type of institution they attend, their age or family responsibilities, or even their family income or educational and living expenses. Most HRM students at Taguig City University face many challenges in their already busy everyday lives. Some students work full or part time while attending...

...THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Nonis and Hudson (2006) note that the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education has found that since 1987 the time students spend studying outside of class has declined each year, with only 47% spending six or more hours per week studying outside of class compared with 34% in 2003. Nonis and Hudson (2006) identify a need for empirical research to determine the impact of student work on academic performance, and its impact on the design of academic programs. Their study found a lack of evidence for a direct relationship between times spent working and academic performance. Sullaiman and Mohezar conducted a study at the University of Malaya in their MBA program. They found conflicting evidence of the impact of work experience on student academic performance. They note studies by McClure, Wells and Bowerman (1986), Schellhardt (1988) and Dreher and Ryan (2000) finding a positive relationship between work experience and academic performance, but studies by Dreher and Ryan (2000, 2002 and 2004) Dugan et al. (2006) and Graham (2001) and Peiperl and Trevelyan (1997) found no relationship between students working and their grade point average. Sullaiman and Mohezar’s study found that work experience is not related to MBA performance. De Zoysa and Rudkin (2007) undertook a pilot study examining the relationship between academic performance and student socio-economic circumstances, which did not find a direct significant...

It examines the differences in experience of domestic and international students. No direct significant relationship was found between paid employment and academic performance for the overall study sample. There was a positive relationship found between paid employment and academic performance with respect to domestic students. However, in the case of international students a negative relationship between paid employment and academic performance was observed. A significant positive relationship between a shift work pattern of paid employment and academic performance was found.

...increase in the number of students graduating at different levels of education and training. As a result; the number of educated people that are unemployed has increased steadily over the past two decades. Japan is one of today’s largest manufacturing economies. Starting from the early 1990s; Japan experienced economic recession that led to a dramatic decline in company positions available for prospective high school and university graduates. This was the start to an end of a favorable situation for the young Japanese job seekers, which had prevailed for a long time; and presented a great opportunity for most of these young job seekers to acquire permanent employment. During the same period, there was a great increase in the number of young people engaging in various unstable forms of employment, for instance, temporary part time workers referred to as “freeters.” “Freeters” is an expression in Japanese; for people who lack full time employment with the exception of students and housewives. These freeters earn their income from low skilled thus low paid jobs. In 1982, japan had approximately 0.5 million freeters, by 1987 the number had risen to 0.8 million, and 1.01 million in 1992. The estimates for 1997 were 1.5 million, 4.17 in 2001, and 2 million in 2002. Between the years 2000 and2009, there was a rapid increase in the number of freeters. If the trend continues, there will be more than 10 million freeters in japan by the year 2014. From a survey conducted by the Japanese institute...

...ABSTRACT College students are often struck by how quickly they can fall behind in their new academic environment. Balancing school work and a social life while coupled with the newly found freedom of living away from home is often a formidable challenge. Add a part-time job to that mix, and the burden can become overwhelming, affecting all aspects of a student’s life and his physical and mental well-being. This research aims to answer how the working students managed their time when it comes to working and studying, how college outweigh the stress and sacrifice that may come with keeping to a tight schedule and potentially tighter budget.

...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...

...Organizational Commitment of Part-Time and Full-Time Employees Julia A. Teahen Baker College ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT Abstract In recent years many educational institutions have increased their use of part-time adjuncts, especially with the introduction of distance learning courses. With this growing use questions about the efficacy of part-time and distance faculty have arisen. This paper tests whether organizational commitment, as described by Mowday (1979), differs between three groups of faculty: full-time, part-time, and part-time who work full-time for another organization. The 2 authors used a 15 item, seven-point scale instrument to measure commitment of a sample of 479 full and part-time faculty at two midwestern universities. Those that worked full-time for another organization are more committed to organizations for whom they work part-time than are those working only part-time. No significant difference in commitment was observed between full-time and part-time employees. ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT Organizational Commitment of Part-Time and Full-Time Employees With the rapid growth of non-traditional educational institutions and enrollment, many educational institutions have added significant numbers of part-time adjuncts to teach courses. With this growth a number of questions and rhetoric have arisen about the quality of instruction from part-timers (Fulton, 2000; Leatherman, 1998; Rewick, 2001), "overuse and exploitation of part-time, non-tenure-track" faculty...

...for a part-time job for helping to share the burden of their parents. And other students who want to have a part-time job are mostly because they want to get some social experiences. 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...

...24-hour shifts in an A, B, and C block schedule. There were two furlough days during the year, on specified holidays. This meant whether or not the firefighter was working on that specified holiday he or she would not be paid for it. Morale Furloughs had a detrimental effect on morale in the department. No one wants to work and not be paid for it. The furlough also made the people in the department believe that their hard work was not appreciated, and unneeded. It is unfortunate that short lived fixes, such as layoffs and furloughs are becoming the norm and are negatively affecting morale and the quality of service (Duggan, Lewis, & Milluzzi, 2010). Causes Strain Firefighters often have to work two jobs. People in the emergency service industry do not join this field for money. The majority of firefighters at the City of Charleston work at the fire department full time, and work another job part-time. They work two jobs out of necessity, not from the enjoyment of working two jobs. Most people do not want to work a 24-hour shift to have to go straight to another job without the ability to go home first. The furlough is causing many of the firefighters to work more hours at their part-time jobs, which makes them more tired. Excessive tiredness causes more accidents and mistakes on the job. An example of excessive tiredness causing a mistake would be; a firefighter skims over checking the truck off because he or she is tired from the previous day’s work at his...

...Jamikhan Wilson Dr. Stacy Downing Freshman Colloquium 27 February 2013 The Dangerous Consequences of Growing Inequality In today’s society the pressure of living an American dream has strained society. According to the article, The Dangerous Consequence of Growing Inequality, the author states one powerful consequence of growing inequality is erosion in the amount of free time families have. Families now have to work longer hours to make up for falling wages. Falling wages in the 1970s and 1980s were masked by the entry of a second wage earner in many households into the workforce. At the same time, temporarily and part time workers generally do not have paid vacations, and their numbers in the workforce are growing. Though advancements have been made in the work environment, many are working harder to earn the same wages to try to keep up with the changing economy. While unemployment and debt are increasing, there has been a decline with health insurance, diminishing retirement security, and the ability to earn a proper education. The U.S gap of inequality is continuously increasing with the changing economy. The article also states that, “Families continue to make up for falling wages in order to maintain a certain standard of living is by going deeper into debt.” Approximately sixty percent of all American households carry credit card balances, because they are unable to pay their full month bill. The article says that in 2004 the credit card industry claimed that...
