“…However, students have also mentioned work as having a detrimental effect on their studying and on social activities (Manthei and Gilmore 2005). In line with these results, Hawkins et al (2005) found that more than half of students in their study perceived that work decreased their study time, with one-fifth of the students experiencing stress, fatigue and exhaustion from work. On the other hand, Robotham (2009) found that working enhanced students' ability to cope with stress.…”

Work experience in relation to study pace and thesis grade: investigating the mediating role of student learning

et al. 2015

University students often work during their studies, and working is considered to be one reason for high dropout rates or slow progress in studies. Moreover, the nature of students' work experience varies greatly. The study aimed to explore how working while studying is related to study success, and took approaches to learning and the nature of the work experience into account. A total of 1023 students completed a questionnaire at the time of their graduation. The results showed that doing other academic work was related to a deep approach to learning, and non-academic work was related to a surface approach and unorganised studying. Moreover, the results revealed that organised studying has an important role in terms of study pace. The study suggests that by emphasising students' organising skills and supporting their deep-level learning, students have better possibilities to create links between work experience and studies.

“…Among full-time college students, nearly half (48%) work full- or part-time and almost a third (34%) of all students work > 20 h a week (Fox, Connolly, & Snyder, 2005; Hawkins, Hawkins II, Smith, & Grant, 2005). Similarly, college students who work > 20 h per week are also at risk for increased substance use, lower academic achievement, and not obtaining a degree (Astin, 1993; Furr & Elling, 2000; Hawkins et al, 2005; Paschall et al, 2004).…”

Cross-sectional research has demonstrated a relationship between increased hours working (especially working > 20 h per week) and greater alcohol use in college student populations (Miller, Danner, & Staten, 2008).…”

Introduction: With many young adults pursuing post-secondary education and many working, understanding the importance of education and work roles on alcohol use are of developmental and clinical importance. Utilizing a sample of 18–20 year-olds transitioning from adolescence to young adulthood, the current study examined how social role statuses in education (i.e., not in school, 2-year students, 4-year students) and work status (i.e., unemployed, employed part-time, employed full-time) were associated with alcohol use, alcohol-related consequences, and perceived drinking norms. Method: Participants were 18–20 year old young adults (54% female) participating in a one-time online survey about alcohol use and sexual behavior. Regression models were conducted to examine associations between school status and work status with alcohol related outcomes. Results: Individuals who were unemployed had a significantly lower likelihood of any heavy episodic drinking (HED) in the past month, consumed fewer drinks per week, and experienced fewer alcohol-related consequences compared to individuals who worked full-time. Individuals who worked part-time consumed fewer drinks per week and had lower perceived drinking norms compared to individuals who worked full-time. No significant associations were found for alcohol use and consequences by education status. Discussion: Working full-time is a risk factor for HED, greater weekly drinking and negative alcohol-related consequences when compared to young adults who are unemployed, and to a lesser extent with young adults working part-time. Workplace interventions may be one approach to reach heavy drinking young adults.

“…The most significant contributing factor may be the necessity for so many community college students to work while attending classes. Working 20 hours or more a week is associated with negative effects on academic performance for college students (Furr & Elling, 2000;Hawkins, Hawkins, Smith, & Grant, 2005), which may further increase stress. Other contributing factors to high stress may include parenting while taking classes, financial worries, and health concerns (Johnson et al, 2010).…”
