THE PROBLEM AND IT’S BACKGROUND

Introduction
Working while studying can cause dropping out of school. However, if they do

not work, they have nothing to spend on themselves and for studying. It's hard to balance

studying and working but it's especially necessary since the parents have been

unemployed since the pandemic started, and many companies have closed. When they

went home from school is very difficult because some people after going to school go to

their work, and it is hard to keep up with a part-time job. Most other students will work

because they do not have enough money to pay for school or they don't have money for

their needs at home. This is also one of the reasons why many students stop or drop their

grades because they work even when they are young. The part-time job gives them real-

life work experience. This work experience will help in getting a job after study

completion. Employers look for employees who understand the work environment and

work well as part of a team. Having part-time job experience shows that you have some

exposure to the professional world, and it all gives you an advantage over other

candidates during a job search. You can pay your bills, tuition fees, and buy the required

things, which reduces the burden of your study expenses on your parents. But, while

doing a part-time job, you'll have a busy schedule, and you'll get less time for studying

and yourself. You'll not have time to rest, so you feel tired and exhausted, and your study

will affect.

Many students quit studying because they want to work so that they can have

more money daily and some of the students lose hope because they cannot handle

working and studying. So, the result is that some of them prefer to work first to have
 2

money to buy their needs and important things. It is important to be able to manage the

time working and studying so that it is not difficult during the hours of working and

studying. If they don’t manage the time, we will have more difficulties.

Intensively, this research aims to help students understand the possible effects of

working on their academic performance. This research will help students to be more

knowledgeable about them, taking a part-time job and the possible consequences of their

decisions if this might harm their academic performance this could lead them to be better

students and a person.

Statement of the Problem

The study aims to know the effects of the part-time job of the selected Senior

High School students on academic performance.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following question:

1. How may the student’s demographic profile be described in terms of:

1.1 Age;

1.2 Gender;

1.3 Strand/Track

2. How may the part-time of the selected students be described in terms of:

2.1 Time management; and

2.2 Academic performance

3. Does the number of part-time hours of work affect the student’s academic

performance?

4. How does a student’s part-time job significantly affect their academic performance?

5. What plan of action can be made based on the result of the study?
 3

Significance of the Study

This study focused on the significant effects of studying while taking a part-time

job which may affect the academic performance of the selected high school students. The

results of this study will benefit the following:

Students. The students will be aware of the possible outcomes of taking a part-

time job and whether this job will give good feedback for them or not. Also, this study

will help them to be more aware that, there are positive and negative outcomes in terms

of being a working student. With this study, they will be able to determine on what are

the things that they should consider first and what are the possible outcomes that students

might suffer after having a part-time job.

Teachers. The results of this study will help the teachers help the student’s

academic approaches. Because of this, teachers should be able to see the difficulties that

working students face and will consider each working student's circumstances,

particularly when it comes to meeting their occasionally changing needs.

Parents. The outcomes of this study may help parents more aware of their

children. To help them understand their son's or daughter's situation so that the parents

can help the working students in handling between their excellent grades and their work

experience.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

The research study only focuses on working students at the La Paz National

High School, which can be seen as 22 respondents. We would make sure that all

responses are accurately recorded in order to generate a research study analysis that is as

dependable as feasible.

who mainly works and is also studying (part-time). 

Time Management. The coordination of tasks and activities to maximize the

effectiveness of an individual's efforts.

Academic Performance. Academic achievement or academic performance is

the extent to which a student, has attained their short or long-term educational goals.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-

depth search done by the researchers. This will also present the synthesis of the art,

theoretical and conceptual framework to fully understand the research to be done and lastly

the definition of terms for better comprehension of the study.

Related Literature

A. Foreign

Darolia (2014) found that working students in higher education is a common

phenomenon everywhere. Most research on working students focuses on the examination

of the effect of students’ employment on academic outcomes such as grade point average

and commitment to studies.

 6

According to Taylor et. al. (2020), working students face incredible demands on

their time and resources, yet little research exists assessing the degree to which they are

able to recover from their demands. The current study aimed to determine the extent to

which different types of psychological detachment from work as well as detachment from

school—contribute to the well-being of working students, and whether work can serve as

an opportunity to recover from school and vice versa. An additional focus of the study

was how perceived stress interacts with detachment both from school and from work to

impact well-being. To investigate these questions, data were collected daily for 12 days

from 268 undergraduate students who were also employed. Results revealed that neither

psychological detachment from work nor from school is beneficial, with psychological

detachment from work even having a negative relationship with vigor. However,

perceived stress due to school did interact with psychological detachment from school,

such that detachment had a stronger impact on vigor and fatigue on days when

individuals experienced more stress. A key takeaway from this study is the need for

future research on psychological detachment for working students to separate detachment

from work and detachment from school.

Furthermore, Johnston et. al. (2019), the result shows that student age is the first

major indicator for better grade regardless of working status. Then, the factor of students’

self-perception on the effect of working on academic performance matters a lot. A

pessimistic student, who believes in the negative impact of working on studying, needs a

balanced combination of course work and working load. However, for an optimistic

student, academic standing is important. Senior students with a positive perception of

working are more likely to validate this perception by good academic performance.
 7

While, for students in other academic standings, working for a job relevant to their major

can help. Otherwise, a moderate level of working load is still recommended. The analysis

approach can be easily applied to any academic counseling: to identify when working

intensity can matter, which group of students may be more vulnerable to a negative

impact of working, and what working aspects may play a role in academic performance.

According to Nurwulan (2020), the aim of the study is to review the impact of

students’ dual role as students and workers on the depression rate of working university

students in Batam, Indonesia. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed that

working while studying does not necessarily affect students’ academic performance.

However, depression is the most common health problem among university students.

However, working students tend to have a higher depression rate than non-working

students. Depression in students may be the cause of the high dropout rate in Batam. It is

important to administer depression-prevention intervention as early as possible, since

first- and second-year students are the most likely to get depressed.

In addition to the above studies, some researchers also focus on the time used by

working students. As a consequence, the more time a student spends working, the less

time he or she engages in academic studies Greene & Maggs (2015). Mathuews (2018)

described that students’ experiences of time constraints are normally related to the

working time poor.

B. Local

According to Balacult and Lopio (2022), in tertiary education, success is not

purely about intelligence; self-discipline, diligence, initiative, and determination are

pillars that one keeps there. This study delves into the academic challenges of working
 8

scholars at Northeastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU), a state university in

Surigao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines. This exploration sought to explore the academic

challenges of working scholars in terms of financial, social, psychological, teacher

factors, and classroom environment. The study utilized a mixed methods approach where

a researcher-made checklist survey questionnaire was employed to come up with the

quantitative result. Further, the researchers also conducted a Focus Group Discussion

(FGD) with the working scholars in which the responses were thematically extracted to

derive an elaborated result from the quantitative data, leading this study to a mixed

method design-an explanatory approach. It has been found out that university students are

working while studying to support their underprivileged families; sustain their scholastic

expenses for their dreams of having a better life; lack of financial support from their

families due to unemployment, death, and health concerns; and to prove to others that

poverty is not a predicament in education if one is determined to succeed. The primary

academic challenge of working scholars in their daily lives is financial problems, which

are attributed to school-related expenses (requirements), needs, and wants. In addition,

working scholars are also psychologically challenged because of external discouragement

and a lack of moral support from their families.

In the study of Mayan (2021), analyze the effect of working while studying on

the performance of Spanish students in upper secondary education. Using education and

labor histories, I construct the students’ grade performance as passing, repeating, or

dropping out. I estimate the effect of working while studying from the first year the

students are enrolled through their year of graduation. I find that working while studying

substantially reduces the probability of passing and increases the probability of repeating
 9

or dropping out during their first year of upper secondary education. Not accounting for

selection into working while studying would lead to underestimating the detrimental

effect of working. Sensitivity analysis shows that the results are robust.

Furthermore, Antipolo (2021), a lot of research on time management was done

to uncover a person’s efficacy and influence on their job; nevertheless, we can find very

limited literature addressing time management. Every working student should investigate

their time management to improve their performance both at work and in academics. The

purposive random sampling was applied in finding out their time management. There are

forty-three males and fifty-eight females among the respondents in this survey. The

descriptive research approach for this study was developed from Wayne State

University's Time Management Questionnaire. The study's findings revealed that male

working students have slightly more stressful time management than female working

students, and that organized time management is never declared by any of the male

working students, whereas some of their female counterparts have declared that they have

organized time management. Finally, it is stated in this study that male and female time

management is different.

In addition, Acaso et. al. (2019), working while studying is having part-time jobs

while studying to have extra income. It has a big impact on the academic performance of

students. This condition has a possible positive and negative effect. The researchers

gathered information about this particular topic to help working students deal with this

situation. This study focuses on the effects of working while studying in senior high

school. This research used a descriptive design to determine the effects of working while

studying. The survey questionnaire was administered to fifty (50) senior high school
 10

working students that were chosen through purposive sampling. The survey questionnaire

was constructed to determine how family, time management, class activities, and

academic achievements affect the working students. Based on Simon Willison's Pickle

Jar Theory on Time Management, it represents our daily life; what keeps us busy and

how to divide the time and task during the day. Most respondents agreed that working

while studying had effects on their academic performance. The most common effect was

poor participation in class activities. However, they could relate work skills to some

school activities. Likewise, the students learn to balance time for work and study. Lastly,

the most common factor that affects them was the family and how that serves as

motivation to work and study hard. Also, academic achievement could be effective in

getting high grades as payback for hard work. The results have enumerated some

solutions to address the situation and avoid the negative effects of working while

studying. Parents and teachers need to work hand in hand to motivate the students to stay

focused on their work and their studies.

Related Study

A. Foreign
According to, Chansophy et. al. (2017), this research study illustrates that most

of the students at UC worked while studying. The reasons that pushed them to work vary

from one person to another, but the ultimate reason was to be financially independent so

that they can make ends meet for their daily expenses. Working while studying provides

both positive and negative impacts. The main benefit was to experience a real working

environment and followed by many other benefits. However, through our findings, we
 11

can see that students tend to encounter exhaustion and stress more than those who did not

work.

In the study of Aisyha (2020), the current study explores the experiences of

working students, especially in higher learning institutions in coping with the challenges

of working while studying. It is expected that the suggestions and recommendations from

the study can improve working students’ experiences to be successful in both working

and studying. This qualitative research which documentation and interview had been used

in order to collect data on the experiences of working students at the International Islamic

University Malaysia. Some working students were purposively chosen and interviewed to

know the challenges they faced and how they overcome the problems. The findings of the

current study show that the informants fully understood the concept of working while

studying and considered it as a financial necessity and self-improvement. The informants

exposed several challenges of working students such as time constraints and commitment

to their studies. Despite the challenges, the informants considered working while

studying as a motivation to further develop themselves and acquire the necessary skills

for better employment. This study is important as many college students are working

while enrolled in higher education. They may experience time constraints managing the

responsibilities of both student and worker. Thus, it is significant to understand their

experiences that may affect the future of their academic studies. This study provides

some implications and recommendations for working students to overcome the

challenges. They include time management, commitment, discipline, and responsibility.

In Addition, A number of factors emerged from the qualitative analysis: Reasons

for working, nature of students’ part-time work, consequences of working, culture shock,
 12

and coping strategies. These factors provided the basis for understanding the respondents’

perceived and constructed systems. The study participants used quotes, phrases,

sentences, and sometimes photos to explain their experiences with the effects of working,

culture shock, and coping strategies.

Furthermore, Darolia (2014), a growing number of students are working while in

college to a greater extent. Using nationally representative data from the 1997 National

Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I analyze the effect of working on grades and credit

completion for undergraduate students in the United States. Strategies to identify the

causal relationship between working and academic performance include student-level

fixed effects to control for permanent, unobserved characteristics that may affect both

work and study intensity, and system GMM models to account for potentially

endogenous relationships between working and academic performance that vary over

time. I examine the consequences of working for heterogeneous subgroups, with a

particular focus on differences between full-time and part-time students. I find no

evidence that students’ grades are harmed by marginal work hours, but that full-time

students complete fewer credits per term when increasing work.

According to Darlena Cunha (2018), there are several benefits of being a working
student, in terms of money, lessons on budgeting, in time management, and especially for
early working experience. It is widely recognized that many students are employed part-
time out of school hours, little is known about the consequences of such employment.

 13

early working experience. It is widely recognized that many students are employed part-

time outside of school hours, but little is known about the consequences of such

employment. It shows that the major positive effect of this is that, the students will be

independent and they become mature as they are now self-learning in their lives but

somehow can be a negative effect because the students might not give proper

concentration between a part-time job and academic performance.

B. Local
Jones (2019) has clearly presented the statistics that 45 percent of Filipino

residents (46 million) and 74 percent (34,500) of public schools lack an internet

connection. This percentage would significantly include those students who are working

at the same time in order to meet their needs.

A study by Soria et. al. (2020) found that working students were more likely

than non-working students to have financial difficulties as a result of the pandemic,

including lost pay from family members, lost pay from on- or off-campus employment,

and higher living and technology costs. Working students are roughly twice as likely as

ordinary students to be anxious about financing for their education. They also take fewer

academic units because they must balance work and school. The study further compared

working students to non-working students. It said that working students are most likely to

have high risk of mental health disorders, greater issues transitioning to online learning,

confront hurdles linked to lack of sufficient study spaces and lack of gadgets necessary to

perform the learning activities, and are less likely to attend during scheduled virtual

classes. With these challenges, the question on how do working students manage and

balance their time with academic requirements remained to be a significant issue to raise.
 14

Rappler (2020) has featured the stories of a grade 12 student from Cavite and

second year work stresses should be given serious attention. Their plight can only be

understood when they are heard through studying their status, condition, and challenges.

Abenoja et al. (2019), found out that studying while working is undoubtedly

tough because it requires managing your social life, family time, school, and work. Some

studies show that students who work are more confident and possess better time-

management skills than full-time students.

This chapter will show the methods that will be used in the study and the sources

of our data. This covers the research design, respondents of the study, research locale,

instrument, and data-gathering procedure. This will guide the readers in understanding

the mechanics of this study.

Research Design
A correlational research design investigates relationships between variables

without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. A correlation reflects the

relationship's strength and/or direction between two (or more) variables. The direction of

a correlation can be either positive or negative.

Sources of Data
The researcher used a number of sources to validate and put up different ideas.

The following data sources were expected for this study:

Respondents - They are those people who completed the study. The answer to

the questionnaires which the researcher has provided them with is based on their own

perspectives. The researcher will be using their comments and opinions as a guide as they

arrive at a conclusion regarding the topic of the question.

 17

Internet - Google has been specifically used by the researcher to search for

definitions and quotations on the topic. This was used by the researcher to search for

additional Reviews of Related Studies and Literature.

Methods of Gathering Data

The researchers asked their respective teachers, who are in charge of the thesis,

for their approval. It was required to determine if a study would be approved. Before

conducting the research, they made sure that it didn't need any corrections or revisions.

Researchers began creating their questionnaires as soon as the study was granted on a go.

To be able to complete the study goals, the researcher employs pertinent questions. The

questionnaire was created and then distributed to each section or strand of Grade 11&12

students at La Paz National High School by the researchers. Students from Grades 11&12

at La Paz National High School answered a questionnaire whereby the researchers

collected. The information was gathered and analyzed by the researchers in each

question. They also researched to results and identified many solutions.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions, and

recommendations from the study.

Summary of Findings
This research was conducted to know the analysis of part-time jobs among

students in their academic performances at La Paz National High School. Based on the

result of the survey conducted by the researchers, having a part-time job while studying

will really affect the academic performance of Senior High School students. The 22

respondents of Senior High School students from different sections are the respondents.

1. Age and Gender of the Respondents - the number of our male respondents is 13 and

our female respondents are 9. The male has 23% of the 5 respondents who answered
 21

17 years old and 36% of the 8 respondents who answered 18 and above years old. The

female has 18% of the 4 who answered that they are 17 years old and 23% and

answered of the 5 who answered that they are 18 and above years old.

2. Students Survey Questionnaire and Data Interpretation – Many students agree

that part-time jobs also affect their academic performance in school. Many of them

work part-time jobs because they don’t have enough funds to cover their expenses and

to their personal needs.

3. Student's Data Interpretation - They manage their working time and studying time.

Many of them also affect their academic performance to their grades and many of

them think in that they can use their experience as working students.

Conclusion
In this part, the researchers made a conclusion based on the result of the survey

questionnaires about the SHS students’ part-time jobs and their effect on their academic

Performance.

1. Students’ academic performance is affected by taking a part-time job.

2. Having time management is very important for those senior high students who have

part-time jobs to help them do their responsibility both in school and at work.

3. Most students who are involved in this problem are late for class and not

able to do their tasks on time.

4. Part-time job affects students in terms of passing their requirements

needed in school.

5. Tiredness at work is one of the reasons why college students can’t give their best

performances and in making outputs.

 22

Recommendations
Based on the conclusion stated above, the researchers are able to make the

following recommendations for those who start having part-time jobs while studying.

1. Senior High School students should manage their time well so that their performances

and output will not be affected. Must pay attention to the time and task given by the

teacher and their manager to be able to manage their time and prioritize the things that

must be done first so that they can be able to sleep well and their grades will not be

affected.

2. Teachers must guide the students when it comes to their performance in class and give

some consideration to schoolwork.

3. Parents must help their children who are taking a part-time jobs and take some actions

to be able to minimize the problem.

4. Owners must be considerate to his/her student employees and give their time to rest a

little to regain their energy so that students will have the energy to do their academic

activities.

5. Students should more focus on their studies because education is very important.

Prioritize their dreams without forgetting their health.
