Introduction
There is no doubt that today’s students are the future leaders for building the nation.
Students must study hard to enter school. However, poverty is the main barrier to finish
Students’ time is a limited resource like other limited resources. Time can be more
or less effectively managed (Anonymous, 2016). Because of their part-time jobs, some of
the students has a limited time in their social and academic task.
from the family origin (Stephenson, 1982). Some students want to have their own income
to help their family to support their studies. Somehow, working during studying may have
negatively affected the students’ performance in school and workplace. Time management
is one of the hindrances that a working student may have because of the responsibilities
given by the teacher and employer that the working students should finish in a given date
and time. The students may get confused on which is more important and which among the
two should be prioritized the most. Improper time management can be a cause of delay in
graduation, lower grades, tardiness in school and in job area, drop out or being fired by the
employer (Triventi, 2012). Improper time management occurs when students cannot
handle their tasks of being a student and as a worker at the same time. Nowadays, some of
the working students cannot focus on their studies because of being tired and it could be
the cause of having low grades (Triventri, 2012). Students consume their energy in their

job so that when the learners need to study the students have no energy and it will be a
The importance of the study is to inform the school to the situation of working
students. The students may not focus in their studying because of improper handling of
time. This study may help the other working students on how to manage their time in school
The main objective of this study is to have a broad understanding to the lives of
working students. This research aims to know if how being a working student may affect
the performance in school and in their workplace. The researcher wants to know how

time and how being a working student affect their performance in school and in workplace.
Parents. They are the people who give support to their children on their needs. If
they are able to read this study, they may know the possible behaviors and the performance
of their children in school, especially, if their children are working students. They may help
them to know if being working student positively or negatively affect their children.
Teachers. The one who teach the students. This study may help them to understand
the situation of their students who are also working for a job. Teachers may give advice,

during class and their experience in school which was measured through the General Point
Average (GPA). Their gender and age were also identified. Work performance of working
workplace. Lastly, time management was determined through accuracy and commitment
in the deadline. The performance of working students was analyzed in the study through a
survey questionnaire.
San Pedro National High School in Hagonoy, Bulacan was the school where the
study was conducted. Working students of San Pedro National High School in S.Y. 2017-
2018 from Junior High School to Senior High School served as the respondents of the
study.

of decline in academic performance and risk of dropping out (Heibutzki, 2017). According
to Kaushar (2013), time management is important, and it may actually affect an individual's
overall performance and achievements. However, some of the working students do not
have good time management skills that has negatively affect their work experience and
priorities which comes first is one of the factors that cause bad time management. The
learners get confused which is the most important and because of this confusion, the
students do not notice that their performance gets affected and it is a serious problem which

of the working students in school and in their working place and how working students
manage their time. This study will be held in San Pedro National Highschool.
Being a working student may affect their academic performance in school that is
why some of the working students may get a low grade because they cannot focus on their
studies because of being tired, late submission of their projects and they lack knowledge
and it may eventually affect their performance in school like fear of having recitation and
lack of confidence. The work is a stressor that upsets balance affecting the academic
performance. Actions that may require restoring the balance may require the dropping of
other subjects suited to their schedules (Arceo,et.al, 2013). Moreover, in many situations,
the simultaneous condition of worker and student may involve overloading commitment,
increasing psychological stress and anxiety related to fear of studying (Triventi, 2013).
Students spend their strength in their job so that when they need to study, they lose energy
to give effort for the assignment and their task in school and it could be the cause of getting
failure. But these jobs help students to become more effective and organized and provide
important skills and students will naturally assume that working will be determined to their
academic success (Smith, 2016). The optimal strategy for students is to combine study with
significant effect of being a working student because it may improve their skills and also
in multitasking and after their schooling they will not find it harder because they already

Moststudents take job for the financial benefits to help them pay for education related
expenses (Levy, n.d). According to Cunha (n.d) students who work during their college
career may have better time management skill than their counterparts. In the other side,
being stressed in having a part time job is when students will face a decline in their studies
because their job will occupy their precious time (Chen, 2011). The most important matter
to focus on is when they can manage their time effectively to develop study habits and have
a to-do list. The following are some of the tips on how time management can be achieved
successfully.
In relation to this present study, having a part time job can affect the life of an
individual who is studying because of being tired in his/her work and it can be a cause for

management will be able to beat procrastination and focus their full attention on their
studies (Mauller, 2017). Time management is arguably one of the most important life skills
that everyone must learn (Ultius, 2014). Moreover, time management is a skill that every
student must apply in their life to be able for them to focus their full attention on their study
and it is an important skill that they need to learn to be able to overcome their stress
although individuals within each generation lack effective time management skills
(William, 2005). The students nowadays are always stressed and there has been no enough

student may affect their academic performance in school; they may lack knowledge
because of being tired which may lead to having no energy to give effort for their tasks in
increasing psychological stress and anxiety related to fear of academic. Because of being
tired, it may affect their attendance in class which may cause to missing a lesson in class.

Relevant Theories
This study has a connection to Maslow's Hierarchy of needs and Expectancy theory.
The theories of Maslow and Vroom discussed the factors on how a working student
(5) levels:
1.Physiological- these needs must be met to a person survive, such as food, water,
and shelter.
Working students must meet the basic needs and safety to be emotionally healthy
and get self-esteem before they become motivated to achieve higher level of needs. The
hierarchy of needs is a step by step process, before you achieve the fifth level you need to
obtain first the lower levels. Therefore, some of the working students are focused on their
job than academic works because the students want to meet the fifth level of the hierarchy
of needs.
Moreover, Expectancy theory proposes that people will choose how to behave
according to its outcomes (Vroom,1964). In other words, people decide what to do based
on the rewards such as higher grades, higher salary and promotion that they expect to
10
1.Expectancy- the belief that your effort will result in your desired goal. This is
based on your past experiences, your self-confidence and how difficult you think; the goal
is to achieve
2.Instrumantaly- the belief that you will receive a reward if you meet performance
expectation.
Working students pay more time on their job than in schooling or vice versa. The
working students expect something in return or rewards when they get focused on job or
academic works. Somehow, it has a negative impact in the working learners' performance
in school or workplace.
