INTRODUCTION
In today's generation many students choose to have a part-time job while studying in
order to gain work experience and earn extra money. However, the impact of having a part-
time job on academic performance is a topic of on-going debate. Some people believe that
working while studying can have a negative impact on academic performance, while others
argue that it can have a positive impact. Having a part-time job can have a negative and positive
impact on academic performance. Students who work part-time jobs may struggle to balance
their work commitments with their academic responsibilities. This can lead to them being
unable to pass their activities on time, missing classes or not being able to study effectively for
exams. Students may also experience fatigue and burnout due to working long hours, which
On the other hand, having a part-time job can also have a positive impact on academic
performance. For example, students who work part-time jobs may develop time-management
skills and become more disciplined in their approach to studying. They may also learn valuable
skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which can be beneficial in their
future careers. Furthermore, having a part-time job can provide students with financial
independence and reduce their reliance on loans and other forms of financial aid.
Students from St.Benedict College of Maguindanao, Inc. is also facing this challenge where
they have to enter part time jobs to fulfil their education. Some students works at a coffee shop
as a waitress, cashier at a store, salesman and even bellboys. Although there is a definite
schedule for their classes, managing both academics and part time job is a huge responsibility
for the students who are in this position. To minimize the negative impact of having a part-time
job on academic performance, students should develop a schedule that allows them to balance
their work and academic responsibilities. This may involve prioritizing their coursework and
setting aside specific times for studying and completing assignments. Students should also
communicate with their instructors about their academic commitments and seek flexible work
arrangements if possible. In addition, students should make time for self-care activities such as

Part Time Job. Researchers defined part time job as a form of employment where an
individual works for fewer hours per week than a full-time job Nina Janza (2015). Generally,
part-time jobs require less commitment and offer more flexible work schedules than full-time
jobs. Part-time jobs may be ideal for individuals who are unable to work full-time due to
has a number of advantages, including financial gain, lessons in budgeting, improved time
management, and particularly the opportunity to gain early job experience. Although it is well
known that many students work part-time jobs outside of school hours, little is known about
the effects of this employment. It demonstrates that the students would become more mature
and independent since they are now learning for themselves in their daily life. Yet, there may
also be a negative impact because the students may not offer an appropriate attention between
a part-time work and academic achievement. The duration of part-time job may have an impact
on the students' co-curricular and academic activities. Due to less time available for their part-
time jobs, the length of the school year may affect how much information and learning a person
can absorb. The college students' part-time job may also help them develop their personal skills,
such as time management, sense of responsibility, and workplace organization. This aids young
people in enhancing their employment prospects in the future. The majority of part-time jobs
build non-cognitive skills and potentials, which are undervalued by organizations in school
Impact of Part Time Job. According to the research conducted by Watts and
Pickering (2000), while working part-time and studying full-time has a variety of positive
understandable that the money earned from part-time employment is spent usually on essential
living expenses. From the perspective of students themselves, part-time work is often an
introduction to the real world which will assist them both in personal and career development
especially in the higher education sector (Tymon, 2013; Tomlinson, 2007). Higher education
institutions should identify opportunities to increase the extent to which students could be more
familiar with work and expose them to educational, part-time vocational and career experiences
(Yorke, 2004; Glover, Law & Youngman, 2002). Jogaratnam and Buchanan (2004), specified
that new students who choose to do a part-time job while having full-time academic load were
most likely to suffer from stress and sleep deprivation. As many studies suggested, indeed a
combination of full-time studying and part-time working can cause a damaging effect on the
physical and mental health of students. It can create a negative impact on academic
performance (Hovdhaugen, 2015; Creed, French & Hood, 2015; Darolia, 2014). In the study
of Curtis and Shani (2002), they believed that students who are working part-time would most
likely miss lecturers with a lot of lessons to catch and feel that they could achieve higher grades
had they not been working. For that reason, universities should be aware of contemporary
The study of Elisabeth Hovdhaugen (2015), emphasizes that there are many possible
factors why students leave in a specific university before having the degree of completion, and
one of the most commonly cited is being engaged to work while studying. With the use of
survival analysis, this paper evaluates the impact of employment status on dropout rates. It
identifies that employment status does have an influence on dropout rates to students who are
less likely to complete their program due to working full time alongside studying full time than
students working short part-time or not working at all. However, it seems that working more
than 20 hours a week increases the risk of dropout as much as full-time work as if there is a
threshold to how much students can work. The integration of employment status into the
analysis does not change the effect of variables known to influence on dropouts such as gender,
grades, and social background, but it adds to further explain who the possible students that may
dropout are. This denotes that models for retention and dropout must also take such external
factors into justification, not just consider what happens at the university, as in the model of
student departure.
Time Management. According to Marie Anderson (2013), Most college students are
currently pressed for time, under stress, and as a result of the heavy workloads that students are
now dealing with, their academic performance is declining. This demonstrates how valuable
time is for all college students who have part-time jobs. Students in college should not squander
their time if they want to maintain a career while attending classes. Students need to be
competent in time management and organization, as well as know how to use their time
properly. College students should spend their time, which includes accomplishing the correct
tasks at the appropriate times. This might make it easier for the students to see what they have
to do in terms of scheduling time for studying while still being able to take care of their
obligations to their families, jobs, and schools, which might lead to better overall student
little time to study might cause panic, particularly if a term paper is due tomorrow and the
student is exhausted from work and hasn't had enough sleep after a long shift. This can
ultimately cause college students to lose it. This demonstrates that students believe they should
meet the deadline in order to be on time for both their jobs and their academic obligations. A
working student's likelihood of experiencing stress increases the less sleep they receive because
of their busy schedule and need to keep up for all the recruitment's they need to do. Only
students who devote more time to academic-related tasks throughout their everyday activities
outside of class, such as reading books, finishing projects, studying, and writing reports, may
achieve better academic success. On the other side, working while in school may encourage
young people to work harder in class to reach a certain professional goal. This study makes a
serious effort to aid students in understanding how employment could affect their academic
achievement. The results of this study will assist college students make better judgments about
whether to take a part-time job, if it will improve their academic performance, and how it may
Filipino students are still able to support themselves financially through working
although they have financial problems. According to The Working Student (2016), to set down
the job options of Filipino working students namely online jobs, paid corporate internship, fast-
food crew, and school jobs. Filipino students are struggling because they have to meet the
standards in their work so that they will not lose their job and maintain academic performance
so that they will not get a failing grade. Around 216,000 understudies in the Philippines are
right now juggling school and work, the most recent information from the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED). About 8% out of the total number of college students in the
Philippines is a working student (ABS-CBN News, 2010). According to CHED (2010), only
half of the employed students can finish college, as many cannot concentrate on their studies,
while others have poor health, and other give up because of financial problem.
In Davao Region, the low rates of the study accomplishments are the central concern
of the Department of Education (DepEd). The study of Ramento (2011), states that the low
educational attainments of the students in the City of Davao were due to a low salary which
leads the students to combine working and studying. Thus, the students that have financial
problems are spending more time working than studying, and because of this, they attained

The 2020 Global Gender Gap Report of the World Economic Forum (WEF) found
that Filipino women are enrolled in college are significantly higher rates than men, according
to an annual report that measures gender equality in 153 countries. It is found that 71.3% of
women are enrolled in secondary education and 40.4% in college, compared to only 60.2%
The percentage of full-time undergraduate students who were employed was lower in
2018 (43%) than in 2000 (53%). Similarly, the percentage of part-time undergraduates who
