RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
Additionally, the study drew the
conclusion that the features of the
employment and the hours spent
working should be investigated since
they are critical to understanding the
impact of employment on academic
results (Hovdhaugen, 2013; Humphrey,
2006; Triventi, 2014). Most studies on
working students are undertaken at
universities. However, such studies are
lacking in knowledge concerning how
working students deal with their daily
life and how they solve any problems
that arise.
According to a study conducted by
Endsleigh (2015), eight out of ten (77
%) students are now working part-time
to assist with their financial needs while
in school. On the other hand, working
while studying has a major impact on
academic success. More so, students
seek education as a means of escaping
poverty. Wherein, financial
independence is one of the several
reasons students work while studying.
This study aimed to explore the
challenges of working students and
pertinent factors in flexible learning.
This may serve as an overview for
future students interested in part-time
employment.

RELATED THEORIES
Lockes and Latharns (1990)
developed The Goal Setting and
Task Performance Theory.
Wherein, Goals must be
specific, measurable, and time-
bound, according to Oluwuo
and Nwabueze (2016). This
indicates that when people are
given the time they need to
achieve a goal, as well as clear,
objective measures for the goal
and the opportunity to practice
or learn whatever is needed to
attain the goal, they are more
likely to succeed.
Glacer (1961) introduced Choice
Theory which is an approach that
places a greater concept of
individual responsibility. The main
objective of Choice Theory is for
students to improve self-discipline
and self-control by establishing and
sustaining positive peer
connections, making informed
decisions about their learning and
growth, and exercising direct
control over their actions and ideas.
Additionally, failure to learn upsets
us and drives us to seek out unreal
ways to satisfy our emotional
demands. Glasser's Choice-based
education is defined in any case by
people in terms of procrastination
and responsibility.
Gary (1965), proposed A Theory of the
Allocation of Time from which it may
be determined that employment
activities during college have a serious
effect on academic achievement due to
the trade-off with both study time and
working time. However, if the
working/studying schedule is well-
organized, there may not be a negative
connection between employment and
academic accomplishment (such as
choice of not compulsory lessons,
flexibility in academic planning
schedule, etc). Also, the exchange
between learning and working might be
lessened by exchanging leisure time for
working hours rather than study hours
(Dundes and Marx, 2006, Butler, 2007).

METHODS AND TECHNIQUES
This study will utilize the quantitative research method. The quantitative
research method is a descriptive method and it will be used as the research
strategy in this study, with the goal of presenting facts about the nature and status
of a situation as it exists at the time of the study and describing current
conditions, events, or systems based on the impressions or reactions of the
research respondents.

According to Aggarwal (2008), descriptive research is concerned with gathering

information about current conditions or situations in order to describe and
interpret them. The researchers will employ a descriptive research design in
order to identify, explain, and comprehend the study's problem. The researchers
want to understand and determine the challenges encountered by working
students in flexible learning.
