The duties and responsibilities of working students have various positive and
negative effects. (What Are the Importance of Academic Performance | ipl.org, n.d.) Many working
students are able to pay their own bills, buy some things that they needed, and provide

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter includes books, articles, finished thesis, methodologies and
conclusions that provides explanations and logical connections which helps in
familiarizing information that are relevant and similar to the present study.
According to the College Board (2016), taking a job is not a matter of choice
anymore, but necessity. Students who are working need to work commonly because
they cannot afford to go to college or even to support their own family income. Some
also supplement their college scholarships and even work to enhance their confidence
and especially to improve their time-management skills.
When according to Balla (n.d.), non-working students are those students who are
capable of studying without spending time working. These theory explains the empirical
findings that will examine the relationship of the non-working and working students to
determine the possible outcomes in their academic performance.
Summary
One common advantage of a working students is that they will earn money. With
this they can relieve their parent’s burden and can support their own life. (Advantages
and Responsibilities of a Working Student | Bartleby, n.d.-b), studies prove that working
students are more confident and can mount better time management that the students
who are not employed because a simple part-time job can provide both training and
experience. It can also polish their organization and multi-tasking skills. In agreement
with Boshoven (2016), the admission representatives in jobs after college want to find
candidates who initiate maturity, responsibility, independence and the other said
features. The reason basically is because good workers certainly demonstrate those
important character traits, and employer can write excellent recommendation letter for
the following student who have outstanding.
Conclusion
Given the different articles about the working students and their academic performance,
the researcher can conclude that these can be use as the basis of the study.
