THE PROBLEM

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between part time
working students and their mental and physical health and academic performance. In
conclusion, it is recommended that several measures be implemented to help students,
to organize study and part time work to best effect.

Introduction
Working and studying while in college can be rewarding and tiring at the same
time. The number of college students who work and study during college has
dramatically increased over the years. Working and studying at the same time can be
seen as a common trend over the past few decades. Despite the load of work that
school provides, students have to deal with numerous issues at work. For students who
choose to work while studying, there are various reasons that lead them to undertake
this commitment, such as financial issues, experiences, networking, and many other
reasons. Over time, students need more and more financial support to cover their
expenses for living and studying since the price of every single thing keeps increasing.
All in all, understanding the reasons, benefits, and difficulties of those students is very
crucial for students to think carefully before deciding to work while studying, and for
teachers to understand their difficulties, and for family and friends to help them cope
with the stress and exhaustion.

Background of the Study

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 college students. This research used a
descriptive design to determine the effects of working while studying. 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 in their work and their studies.

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to determine the levels of academic performance of the working
students in Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Lipa during the School Year 2022-2023 (1st Sem).
Specifically, it sought answers to the following question:
1. What is the profile of the working students with regard their:
1.1 age;
1.2 sex;
1.3 sibling position;
1.4 parents educational attainment; and
1.5 monthly family income;

2. What is the level of performance of the working students as perceived by

themselves with respect to:
2.1 class participation;
32.2 task performance; and
2.3 comprehension?
3. Is there a significant difference on the level of performance of the working
students as perceived by the respondents with respect to the different aspects in terms
of their profile?
4. What action plan may be prepared to enhance the level of academic
performance of the working students?
Theoretical Framework
Students engaged in part-time and sometimes full-time employment while
studying is becoming a normal phenomenon everywhere. Job employment will
eventually prepare the students for their future profession. While ordinary experiences
will comprise the majority of the data content of this study, these data will be analyzed
and justified using particular theories. This study makes use of The Academic
Performance of Working Students by Cargo JM (2017-2018), The Effects of Working
While In School by Araya F. (2019), Academic Performance, Employment, and Sleep
Health: A Comparison between Working and Nonworking Students by Stephen (2020),
Academic Performance of College Students: Influence of Time Spent Studying and
Working by Gail I. Hudson (Dec. 2018) and The work–study relationship: experiences of
full‐time university students undertaking part‐time employment by Ralph Hall (July
2020).
The Academic Performance of Working Students of Cargo JM published in
October 2017 stated that this paper assesses the effects of general and emotional
intelligence and personality preferences on academic performance. A dream doesn’t
become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. It’s nice to
see such a hard-working student awarded for his dedication and hard work”. As a
working student you will be able to put theory into practice while still continuing with
your studies. You will work in specialized areas that give you real insights into your
subject and make a huge contribution to your students.
As indicated by Stephen (2020), Interest in overall health and well-being of
students in higher education has grown. Retention and success in college has been
linked to various health aspects including sleep and alcohol usage. The purpose of this
study is to: 1) assess sleep health and related behaviors, 2) examine relationships
between sleep health and work conditions, and 3) determine if there is a relationship
between sleep health and academic performance. Because many students work in
service industries due to the flexibility of these jobs, comparisons are made between
students working in service industries, students working in other industries, and non-
working students.
 The cited theory is relevant to the present study since it aimed to determine the
level of academic performance of the working students in Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Lipa.

Conceptual Framework
This study was guided by a Coombs’ Systems Approach utilizing the input,
process and output model. The first frame refers to the input which includes the working
students as respondents of the study described in terms of age, sex, and sibling
position, parents educational attainment, monthly family income, and academic
performance.
The second frame refers to the construction and validation of questionnaires on
the levels of academic performance of working student. Data gathering, analysis and
interpretation of data. The third frame refers to the output of the study which is a plan of
action to enhance the academic performance of working students in Kolehiyo ng
Lungsod ng Lipa. The line from output frame connecting process and input presents
feedback. It indicates that whatever will be the output or the response may get, this
means that there is a continuous process.
