chapter provides an attempt to critically examine the current condition of Part-time jobs for the
students. This research report comprises of an analysis of both the primary data and secondary
data which have been collected in the report by giving a clear understanding of the research.

2.1 Defining Terms:

2.1.1 Definition of Job:

A group of homogeneous tasks related by similarity of functions. When performed by an

employee in an exchanged for pay, a job consists of duties, responsibilities, and tasks that are
defined and specific, and can be accomplished, quantified, measured and rated. From a wider
perspective, a job is synonymous with a role and includes the physical and social aspects of a
work environment. Often, individuals identify themselves with their job or role like foreman,
supervisor, engineer etc and derive motivation from its uniqueness or usefulness. A job is an
activity, often regular and often performed in exchange for payment. Many people have multiple
jobs, such as those of parent, homemaker, and employee. A person can begin a job by becoming
an employee, volunteering, starting a business, or becoming a parent. Jobs can be categorized by
the hours per week into full time or part time. They can be categorized as temporary, odd
jobs, seasonal, self-employment, consulting, or contract employment.

2.1.2 Definition of Full-time job:

Employed for or involving a standard number of hours of working time. In general, one who
works for 35 hours or more usually 40 hours in a week. Full-time job often comes with benefits
that are not typically offered to part-time, temporary or flexible works. The Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) does not define full-time employment or part-time employment. This is a matter
generally to be determined by the employer. Full-Time status varies between companies and is
often based on the shift the employee must work during each work week. The "standard" work
week consists of five eight-hour days, commonly served between 9:00AM to 5:00PM or
10:00AM to 6:00pm totaling 40 hours.

2.1.3 Definition of Part-time Job:

Not meeting the requirements or standards of being full-time job. Participating in something
part-time job typically means spending a fraction of time compared to a full time counterpart.
A part-time contract is a form of employment that carries fewer hours per week than a full-
time job. There are many reasons for working part-time, including the desire to do so, having
one's hours cut back by an employer and being unable to find a full-time job. In some cases the
nature of the work itself may require that the employees be classified part as part-time workers.
"Part-time" can also be used in reference to a student usually in higher education who takes only
a few courses, rather than a full load of coursework each semester. The number of the students
working in part-time jobs has greatly increased in the past few years. One of the reasons for this
is the large number of students want to more flexible and gain practical experience during their
study.

2.2 Definition of Students Employment:

Working while you are students in college or universities one of the most plentiful, divers and
universal experiences of student’s life. It offers students the opportunity to explore career
options, obtain transferrable skills with experienced person and helps to ease financial burdens.
Student Employment is a form of financial aid, with programs to help you find a job that best fits
your needs.

2.3 Role of the Students towards Social development:

Students must realize the importance of the relationship between an individual and the society.
Man is belongs to a society, and students are an important part of it. Students cannot live in
complete isolation from the community-life. Students can play an important role in improving
and strengthening the society. The simple fact is that united we stand, and divided we fall. The
society is the manifestation of that united existence, and the students are part of the society. 

 Students should take an active role in literacy campaigns.

Page 6

 They can teach the illiterate to read and write.

 They should be enthusiastic about opening blood donation camps, founding gymnasiums,
blind schools, health centers, libraries, etc. Such enterprises benefit a large number of
people, and help in maintaining the society in a good condition.
 Funds can be raised through subscriptions, lottery, and through government help.
Students, urged by the spirit of social welfare, can also arrange for charity shows to raise
the necessary funds.
 It is the students who should undertake the responsibility of fighting anti-social activities
of a few corrupt people.
 They must solemnly vow to eradicate drugs and drinks from their localities.

 Whenever there is a general crisis like the outbreak of malaria, or floods or earthquakes,
students are expected to come to the aid of the distressed.

2.4 Importance of students Part-time Job:

A part-time job can help you become a better student and get a jump on your career track. One of
the only things a student cannot gain from the classroom is a work ethic, a work ethic is
something that is acquired over time and is vital to anyone’s success. A part-time job can consist
of many things – working at a sandwich shop, serving at a restaurant or even an internship at a
company in one’s desired field. Although it might not be direct experience in the field one
wishes to pursue, it still sets an individual apart from people who have no experience. The more
experience students have, the more they appeal to future employers. Through this experience
students gain not only a work ethic, but also time management and a professionalism they would
not gain unless in the work field. Another important thing about gaining work experience is
learning one’s likes and dislikes. Generally, students are given an allowance by their parents and
may go out and spend it all on one thing. By having a part-time job, students acquire their own
money that they worked for. This money has a much greater value than their allowance. All in
all, the extra money is great, but the real purpose of a part-time job is acquiring real world skills
that cannot be learned in a classroom. These skills are what employers are really looking for in
people they aim to hire.

Chapter Three: Methodology

3.0 Introduction:

In every research, methodology needs to be clearly explained for better understanding of the
readers. Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of
study. Research methodology has been selected which is suitable for this research.

3.1 Methodology Approach:

The researcher has been used both methods that means primary data and secondary data
collected both methods.

The researcher has collected primary data by taking interviews from the different colleges and
universities students. In the interview researcher ask some question to the participate students
who are working part-time besides their study. The researcher has collected secondary data from
internet websites, different organizational websites, students related journals, Jobs related journal
,articles, newspapers populated with information in relation to the research topic of why students
prefers part-time jobs besides their study. Both methods of data collection have been discussed
later of this chapter.

3.1.1 Secondary Data:

Secondary data is the data collected by someone else other than the researcher himself. This data
can be gathered from government records, books, journals, national and international institutions,
statistics etc.

In this research report, the secondary sources have been used like the internet websites, journals,
and other research reports to collect the required data.

3.1.1.1 Advantages and Disadvantage of secondary Data:

Advantages of Secondary Data:

 It is time saving.

Page 10
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

 It helps to make primary data collection more specific since with the help of secondary
data, we are able to make out what are the gaps and deficiencies and what additional
information needs to be collected.
 It helps to improve the understanding of the problem.
 It provides a basis for comparison for the data that is collected by the researcher.

Disadvantages of Secondary Data:

 Secondary data is something that seldom fits in the framework of the marketing research
factors. Reasons for its non-fitting are:-
A. Unit of secondary data collection-Suppose one person wants information on
disposable income, but the data is available on gross income. In this case, the
information may not be same as we require.
B. Class Boundaries may be different when units are same.
C. Thus the data collected earlier is of no use to you.
 Accuracy of secondary data is not known.

 Data may be outdated.

3.1.2 Primary Data:

Primary data is original research that is collect through first-hand investigation, while secondary
data is research that is widely available and collect from another party. Primary data includes
information collected from interviews. Secondary data can be found in publications, journals and
newspapers and websites. The process of collecting original data about the research by the
researcher on its own is called primary data research. This research is carried out after getting
some knowledge from the secondary sources. One can decide to go for primary data research if
he/she feels that the data available from secondary sources is not fulfilling the requirements.
Primary market research can be quantitative or qualitative in nature.

This process of this research can either be done by the. Although, this type of exercise may be
lengthy and costly for gathering the information. This data research is not carried out frequently
and organizations generally depend of secondary sources for information. In order to go for this
process, the researcher has to take care of everything, starting from designing questionnaires,
collecting replies from respondents and then interpreting it depending on requirements.

Page 11

3 December, 2016

3.1.2.1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Primary Data:

Advantages of Primary Data:

 Basic data.
 Original data.
 Data from the primary population/market.
 Data direct from the population.
 Updated data. Usually secondary data is not so recent and it may not be specific to the
place or situation researcher is targeting. The researcher can use the irrelevant seeming
information for knowing trends or may be able to find some relation with the current
scenario. Thus, primary data becomes a more accurate tool since we can use data which
is useful for us.
 Data interpretation is better. The collected data can be examined and interpreted by the
researcher depending on their needs rather than relying on the interpretation made by
collectors of secondary data.

Disadvantages of Primary Data:

 Large volume of data.

 Huge volume of population.
 Direct and personal intervention has to be there.
 High Cost. Collecting data using primary research is a costly proposition as researcher
has to be involved throughout and has to design everything.
 Time Consuming. Because of exhaustive nature of the exercise, the time required to do
research accurately is very long as compared to secondary data, which can be collected in
much lesser time duration.
 More number of resources is required. Leaving aside cost and time, other resources like
human resources and materials too are needed in larger quantity to do surveys and data
collection.

3.2 Sampling:

Sampling is the process of selecting a number of subjects from all the subjects in a particular
group or "universe."

In other words, it is the process of deciding, out of the entire population of interest, from whom
you will collect data.

Sample: The small selection is called sample. It’s denoted by “n”.

Population: The large number of items of units of particular characteristic is called population.
It’s denoted by “N”.

3.2.1 Sample and Sample sizes of this Research:

Sample of this research was some different colleges and universities students. Sample was 25
and among them 4 college students, 15 private university students and 6 public university
students.

3.2.2 Sampling Strategies:

Sampling strategies are divided into two main categories.

 Probability
 Non-probability

3.2.2.1 Probability:

A probability sampling method is any method of sampling that utilizes some form of random

selection. In order to have a random selection method, you must set up some process or
procedure that assures that the different units in your population have equal probabilities of being
chosen.

Where the researcher has a significant measure of control over who is selected and on the
selection methods for choosing them.

Main Methods:

 Simple Random Sampling

Page 13
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

 Systematic Sampling
 Stratified Sampling
 Cluster sampling

3.2.2.2 Non-probability:

A core characteristic of non-probability sampling techniques s that samples are selected based
on the subjective judgment of the researcher, rather than random selection, which is the
cornerstone of the probability sampling techniques.

Where the researcher has little initial control over the choice of who is presented for selection.

Main Methods:

 Convenience Sampling
 Voluntary Sampling
 Purposive Sampling
 Snowball Sampling
 Event Sampling
 Time Sampling

3.2.3 Sampling Method of Research:

The researcher has been used ‘stratified sampling method’ for sampling of my research.
Stratified Sampling means sampling within particular sections of the target groups. Researcher
has used it because the researcher could easily analyze target groups participates by using
stratified sampling method.

Page 14

3.2.3.1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Sampling Method:

Advantages:

 Very accurate
 Economical in nature
 Very reliable
 High suitability ration towards the differs interviews and survey
 Take less time
 In case, when the universe s very large, then the sampling method is the only practical
method for collecting the data.

Disadvantages:

 Inadequacy of the samples

 Chances for bias
 Problems of accuracy
 Difficulty of getting the representative sample
 Untrained manpower
 Absence of the informants

3.3 Data Collection Methods Involve:

In this research, researcher has used Qualitative methodology involve data both for collecting.
Data Collection is an important aspect of any type of research study. Inappropriate data
collection can impact on the results of a study and which make error results.

In this research report, data collection methods mainly categorized qualitative methods.
Qualitative methods are described in detailed in the following section. Qualitative and methods
of data collection have different techniques. Qualitative research report’s data collection
concerns more of the attitudes, behavior and the responses from the selected population.
Qualitative data is more subjective in respect to quantitative data which represents a more

Page 15
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

statistical and numerical presentation of the data gathered which makes it more objective
(Saunders 2012).

There are some strengths and weakness of qualitative methods which describe in following table:

Strengths Weakness
 Flexibility  Lack of validity
 Sharing of experiences  Subjective and
and Qualitative impressionistic
 feelings of participants  Not Generalized
Research
 Sample size is smaller  Difficult to make
Methodology
 More explanatory and comparison

3.3.1 Qualitative Methods of Data Collection:

In this research report, qualitative methods of data collection have been used.

According to Habib (2014) et.al, Anderson (2006).

“Qualitative Research is collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data by observing what people
do and say”. (p3)

Source: Habib (2014) et.al, Anderson (2006)

Qualitative Research is primarily exploratory research. Qualitative data collection methods play
an important role in impact evaluation by providing information useful to understand the
processes behind observed results and assess changes in people’s perceptions of their well‐being.
Furthermore, qualitative methods can be used to improve the quality of survey‐based quantitative
evaluations by helping generate evaluation hypothesis; strengthening the design of survey
questionnaires and expanding or clarifying quantitative evaluation findings. These methods are
characterized by the following attributes:

 They tend to be open‐ended and have less structured protocols They rely more heavily on
interactive interviews; respondents may be interviewed
 several times to follow up on a particular issue, clarify concepts or check the reliability
of data.
 They use triangulation to increase the credibility of their findings
The qualitative methods most commonly used in evaluation can be classified in three broad
Categories:
 In‐depth interview
 Observation methods
 Document review

3.3.1.1 Purpose of Qualitative Research:

For the better understanding of the data, it is clear that the data gathered is most preferred to be
in the narrative form which enables the researcher to have a clear view of the research problem.
Of the few researches which have been discussed in chapter two has given an insight into

Page 17
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

different factors which include the social, economic and environmental issues which are directly
linked to the students part-time jobs. Deeper insight into the research problem has also been
possible by the use of the qualitative method of research.

3.4 Interviews:

According to et al (habib 2014) Harish et al. (1999):

“Interview is the verbal conversation between two people with the objective ofcollecting
relevant information for the purpose of research.”

Researcher collects research data from both the primary and secondary methods. Researcher
collects the primary data by taking direct interviews with different institutions students. In this
interview, researcher ask questions to the participate students about the research topic.

3.4.1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Interviews:

There are few advantages and disadvantages of the chosen method of data collection are which
are explained in the following table:

Advantages of Interviews:

1) Easy correction of speech: Any misunderstanding and mistake can be rectified easily in
an interview. Because the interviewer and interviewee physically present before the
interview board.
2) Development of relationship: Relation between the interviewer and the interviewee can
be developed through an interview. It increases mutual understanding and co-operation
between the parties.
3) Selection of suitable candidate: Suitable candidates can be selected through interview
because the interview can know a lot about the candidate by this process.
4) Collection of primary information: Interview can help to collect the fresh, new and
primary information as needed.
5) Sufficient information: Sufficient information can be collected through
the interview process. Because the interviewer can ask any question to the interviewee.
6) Time saving: Interview can help to save time to select the best suitable candidate. Within
a very short time communication can be accomplished with the interview.

Page 18
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

7) Less costly: It is less costly than other process of communication. It is very simple,
prompt and low cost method of communication.
8) Increasing knowledge: Any interview increases the knowledge of both the interviewer
and the interviewee. They can interchange their views and ideas.
9) Explore cause behind the problem: In business, executives need to solve different types
of problems. To explore or to find out the actual reasons behind the problem interview
method can be used.
10) In depth analysis: Through planed interviews detailed information can be collected
which enables proper analysis of a problem. Abstract factors like attitudes, feelings,
opinion etc. Can be successfully evaluated or analyzed through interviews.
11) Solving labor problems: Labor unrest and other disputes are very common in the
industries. Sometimes human resource managers use the interview as a means of reveling
actual causes behind the labor deputes.
12) Flexible: One of the major advantages of interview is feasible. That depends on the
situation it can be framed differently.

Disadvantages of Interviews:
1) Incomplete process: Suitable candidate cannot be selected by interview only. The
written test is more important than the interview.
2) No record: In the case of the interview some confusion may be arisen in the future as,
there is no evidence actually that have been discussed at interview.
3) Lack of attention: Much attention is required for a good interview. But sometimes it is
observed that both the interviewer and the interviewee are less attentive. That is why real
information cannot be collected.
4) Disappointed: Interviewee may be disappointed while she or he faces the interviewer’s
questions which are not related to the field. That is why suitable candidate may be
neglected.
5) Time consuming: Time constrain is one of the major limitations of the interview process.
Preparation for the interview, taking interviews and interpretation of the responses
required much time, which makes the interview method time consuming.

Page 19
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

6) Biases of interviewer: Always there is a possibility that the interview process can be
influenced by the biases of the interviewer.
7) Costly: Generally interview method is expensive.
8) Inefficiency of the interviewer: Interview is a systematic process of data collection. The
success of an interview depends on the efficiency of the interviewer. This inefficiency of
an interviewer can lead to misleading results.
9) Not suitable for personal matters: Personal matters may not be revealed by interview
method.

3.4.2 Forms of interview techniques:

The two main types of interviews conducted in marketing research are structured and
unstructured.

1) Unstructured informal interview: The unstructured informal interview is normally

conducted as a preliminary step in the research process to generate ideas/hypotheses
about the subject being investigated so that these might be tested later in the survey
proper. Such interviews are entirely informal and are not controlled by a specific set of
detailed questions. Rather the interviewer is guided by a pre-defined list of issues. These
interviews amount to an informal conversation about the subject.

2) Structured Standardized interview: With structured standardized interviews, the

format is entirely different. A structured interview follows a specific questionnaire and
this research instrument is usually used as the basis for most quantitative surveys. A
standardized structured questionnaire is administered where specific questions are asked
in a set order and in a set manner to ensure no variation between interviews.

3.5 Research Design Structure:

A research study is the combination of different elements which include the factors of data
collection and synthesis. A suitable structure has to be in place in order to get the expected
results. This structure comes with qualitative methods.

3.6 Research Question Design:

Research questions are a designed as a form on inquiry for a concerned issue, which is discuss in
the first stage in a research report. To investigate the research questions, it is required to carry
out a process which involves collecting the data over a period of time. One form of data

Page 21
 Research Report for BBA Business Research
3 December, 2016

collection as part of the qualitative method of research is the direct or face to face interview
method.

According to Berg, 2007:

The interview questions should capture the central aims and focus of the research study; and
must be considered in conceptualization and contextualization of the questions to be used for the
research process.

There are mainly four types of interview questions according to Berg, 2007. They are given in
the following table:

Essential Questions: Questions that address directly to research focus.

Extra Questions: To check the validity and reliability of the research.

Types of Interview
Questions
Throw away Questions: Questions that are used as ice-breakers during an
interview session.

Probing Questions: Questions specifically addressed to extract facts.

Table 3: Types of Interview Question

Source: Berg (2007)

The researcher’s job is to select the right questions which are relevant to the study and perform
during the interview in that manner. The selected interviewees are from different educational
institutions which have prompted the researcher to invest more time in designing questions of
interviews for the strategy analysis and the opinions being provided towards a better strategy
design and improvement.
