Conclusion REFERENCES iii ABSTRACT At the moment, part-time student employment is viewed as a source of concern Students who work part-time have some benefits, but they also have some disadvantages, which is one of the things that affect HUBT students' learning This study's focus is on the consequences of part-time employment among HUBT students The survey on the supplied form received a flood of replies from the pupils, totaling around 100 Take into account the 100 responses and evaluate the benefits and drawbacks At the same time, give convincing proof that the average academic performance of students over the previous year, the duration of part-time employment, and the kinds of jobs held by HUBT participants have all been examined to determine whether there is a relationship between part-time employment and academic performance The study's conclusions point to certain advantageous characteristics, including students' increased independence, decreased reliance on family, and support for their personal development Additionally, it suffers when kids put forth more effort while ignoring their academics, which leads to poor grades Contrary to those students who not work a part-time job, many HUBT students are able to combine their studies and complete their degrees on time iv LIST OF ABBREVIATION HUBT – Hanoi University of Business and Technology v PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale for the study In today's society, the issue of doing is always a hot issue, not only interested by the press, agencies, and businesses but it has been deeply ingrained in the minds of many students while still in school Sitting at school, constantly accumulating knowledge and experience to achieve lofty goals in the future Regarding behavioral capacity, students are an important part of working age They can have a lot of energy and wisdom In terms of goals, graduates are expected to have the knowledge to be able to work and work after graduation Currently, in general, most students are aware that there are many different ways of learning and more and more students are choosing hands-on learning methods That's going to work part-time Parttime jobs are no longer separate jobs but have become a trend, associated with the academic and daily life of students while sitting in the lecture hall Students go to work In addition to income, they want to gain more experience and learn more practically And the reason that part-time work is now becoming a trend is that for students, especially when living in today's competitive society, social knowledge and practical knowledge have a great influence on their thinking ability as well as their work after graduation Budget (1987, p 304) said that "Many of the students work second, part-time employment And why is it vital to have a part-time job?".With the desire to delve deeper into this issue, we have chosen the resource issue “Effects of part-time jobs on the academic performances of HUBT students” as my research paper Aims and objectives of the study Examine how part-time employment affects the learning outcomes of HUBT students In order to help HUBT part-time students improve their academic performance, solutions and recommendations are provided Research questions This paper aims to answer the following questions: - Definition of the part-time job? - What are the reason why students work part-time while studying? - What are the advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs? - How part-time jobs affect the academic performances of HUBT students? - What is the solution? Scope of the study I conduct title research for HUBT Design of the study Part A: Introduction - introduces the rationale, purpose, object, scope, and design of the study Part B: Development Material collection – Based on some pre-existing materials such as some websites/articles mentioning the reality of students' part-time jobs Besides, students at the Hanoi University of Business and Technology are divided into two groups part-time employees and students who not work serve as the research subjects for this topic Both male and female participants must be between the ages of 18 and 22 The majority of the freshmen and sophomores in the study are third-year students Data/Material analysis – indicates methods, research setting, data collection instruments, and data analyses Result, remark – provides key information about effects of part- time jobs on the academic performances of HUBT students Part C: Conclusion - summarizes the main points of the study, the remaining limitations, and makes suggestions for the further research PART B: DEVELOPMENT Data collection This was based on certain pre-existing sources, such example websites or publications that discuss the realities of students doing part-time employment The topic mostly depends on primary data acquired through a pre-designed survey connected with questions issued via fan pages and student groups at the fan pages of the Hanoi University of Business and Technology 95 pupils, or around 95% of the class, work part-time in this situation, with the remaining 5% not working 1.1 Definition of the part-time job? For the most part, it is up to your employer to define what part-time means The Department of Labor (DOL) Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not contain any rules or guidelines that state how many hours a part-time (or full-time) job is Many employers have used the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) definition of part-time work: anyone working less than 35 hours a week However, 35 hours a week is something the BLS picked for statistical reasons, nothing more But the Affordable Care Act (ACA) does define part-time work as anyone working less than an average of 30 hours per week Anything above that and your employer is required to provide you with health insurance 1.2 What are the reasons why students work part-time while studying? Students are considered a healthy workforce, regardless of knowledge or good health should be able to enter any suitable profession Currently, a lot of students are looking for part-time jobs for many different reasons 1.2.1 Information about the state of student part-time employment today Vietnamese employees currently make up a sizable portion of the population between the ages of 18 and 23, particularly students enrolled in schools and universities around the nation Outside of school hours, many people opt to work part-time jobs to expand their horizons, develop their talents, and supplement their income As can be seen, there are many different types of part-time work available today, including paid product work, domestic help, and part-time work You can choose the job that best meets your needs because the recruitment process varies depending on the job Students who work a part-time job have a steady monthly income that enables them to pay for living expenses, education, and other requirements This is the main cause of the sharp rise in enrollment demand As a result, the student job market is lively and competitive The majority of part-time students will focus on major cities including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Can Tho 1.2.2 The variety of part-time jobs currently available to students It is not difficult for students to find a part-time job for themselves after every school hour With the keyword "part-time job for students", within just 0.73 seconds, google gave about 247,000 related results (illustration image below) As we can see, part-time jobs are diverse Extremely diverse students It is not difficult for students to find a part-time job for themselves after every school hour With the keyword "part-time job for students", within just 0.73 seconds, google gave about 247,000 related results (illustration image below) As we can see, part-time jobs are diverse 1.2.3 The reasons for HUBT students' part-time employment According to a survey of 95 HUBT students, the reasons for working part-time are mainly the following reasons: - They have to take care of accommodation, tuition, and many other miscellaneous expenses - Many families have difficult circumstances, and students cannot rely on family support - Earn more money, be it to gain experience or to build relationships Data analysis 2.1 Employment of part-time employment in terms of genders and qualifications 2.1.1 Gender of the HUBT percentage 100 HUBT students made up the sample for the survey The percentage of students who are currently employed part-time was 80%, while the percentage of students who are not now employed part-time was 20% of the total Biểu đồ 2.1 (Reference: Survey findings on the subject) Male Female Total 60% 40% 100% 2.1.2 Part-Time Employment Rate of HUBT Students This shows that the vast majority of students today work part-time jobs while continuing their studies After-school part-time workers focused on the study's freshmen, sophomores, and third-year students The number of firstyear and fourth-year students is not insignificant because first-year students are still unsure of themselves and focus mostly on their academics In order to spend more time on their studies and graduate on time, fourth-year students are working on their graduation reports and finishing the subjects that are assigned to them University tests and coursework become considerably more focused in the fourth year Biểu đồ 2.2 (Reference: Survey findings on the subject) 2.2 STUDENTS PERCENTAGES First-year 20% Second-year 15% Third-year 55% Fourth-year 10% Areas for Part-Time Work There are various options for part-time employment According to a survey of 100 HUBT students, HUBT students are more inclined to accept any valid part-time job that pays well when it comes to part-time employment The majority of students who apply for jobs (29,3% of all applicants) are seeking opportunities in the service industry, including cashiers and servers (both male and female) My research and observations indicate that there are many stores and restaurants close to HUBT Many HUBT students have applied for part-time work at two sizable cafes, a wedding restaurant, and a wedding venue that is all located right across the street from the school The remaining 24.4% of the total is made up of marketing, leaflet delivery, and even subsequent advertising Sales in stores, online, and on other social media platforms make for a fairly high percentage (14.6%) Additionally, HUBT students select careers like tutoring (13.2%), consulting, call center customer service professionals (11.6%), technology driver or shipper (6.9%), etc., if they feel the position is a good fit for their skills 2.3 What are the advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs? 2.3.1 Advantages of part-time jobs? - You acquire marketable talents: You can learn important skills from work experience that a university or college degree won't teach you with a part-time job Working in a fast-paced atmosphere, for instance, will teach you how to work independently or in a team, as well as how to use your initiative and develop a keen attention to detail These are all important skills that you can use in a variety of jobs as well as in other facets of your life - You become more confident: Part-time work can help you break out of your shell and boost your confidence if you're timid and introverted Additionally, since the majority of student jobs are in the customer-facing industries of hospitality and retail, you'll be compelled to communicate with many people you wouldn't typically You'll become more socially adept as a result of this - You expand your network of business contacts: Part-time employment allows you the opportunity to network with individuals wherever you work Therefore, even if you are not working in a field that you are interested in, you are still developing your professional network 2.3.2 Disadvantages of part-time jobs? - Working part-time will require scheduling time for both work and study, but if students don't balance the two, neither job will produce effective outcomes - For university students, it can be noted that there is a significant quantity of material that has to be retained while doing the exercises; if you not put in the necessary time and effort, it will be challenging to finish successfully and take up a lot of your time more challenging each time - Additionally, not all students' part-time jobs provide them with "experience" for future employment - The Langmaster International Education Organization hosted a seminar with the title "Should students work part-time?," and T.S Le Tham Duong added, "Experience is not only the collision created by life, but right in the school chair, students have learned a lot about the experience from teachers, from internships, practical exercises, classroom activities, not to mention activities organized by clubs and schools To seek life experience, you are too young Result, Remark 3.1 HUBT Student’s Latest Semester Results, Remark The study found differences between students' academic outcomes prior to and following part-time employment When students work part-time, their academic performance suffers compared to when they not The percentage of successful learning outcomes is quite high (65.7%), whereas the average learning outcomes were 33.3%, results that were below average were 1%, and successful learning outcomes were practically nonexistent Biểu đồ 3.1 (Reference: Survey findings on the subject) Because of this, most students who work part-time struggle academically, with some still failing classes as a result of the time spent working, the time divided between learning and studying, etc Unreasonable part-time occupations have had an impact on the analysis findings There are times when part-time employment conflicts with the schedules for work and school Each student will have a choice and be able to make plans in advance to avoid dropping out or taking a part-time job when classes overlap When their school schedule and their part-time employment schedules coincide, students frequently attend class and take a break from their jobs This choice demonstrates that students have placed a priority on their education, which is currently the most essential thing to them In addition, some students made the decision to skip class and go to work without thinking about the repercussions Others might choose to take a vacation from employment and a break from school at the same time The two alternative options still make up a sizeable fraction of the population, even though going to school and quitting your job is the most common choice This would have a significant effect on the results of student learning Along with the benefits and effects on academic performance, part-time jobs have an impact on students’ mental health and well-being Up to 45.5% of students who work part-time report feeling worn out and dejected afterward Additionally, a small percentage of students (33.3%) say they feel normal, whereas the majority (24.2%) say they feel content and at ease In actuality, students who work part-time while still enrolled have an edge in the hiring process since they have earned experience and are able to employ their talents right away Additionally, 61% think that having a part-time job will be detrimental to kids' learning performance, while 39% disagree This illustrates that there are numerous divergent opinions regarding students who work part-time employment In addition to arguments in favor of part-time employment and its benefits, there are also arguments against it and its impact on students 3.2 What is the solution? Through the survey, the students said that when they work part-time, it easily causes them to lose focus on their studies Ali (2017) said that “Part time job could bring extra income and help university students to gain working experience But students may feel sleepy and reduce the time from the study, thus it is a real challenge to balance between part-time job and study.” Therefore, working students need to realize that the current problem of part-time work is only temporary while studying is a long-term job and has a great impact on the future In order to that, you must have a firm stance "every hour, whatever" When you go to work, you should try to focus and complete the work so that you no longer have any concerns about work when you come home When you leave work, you only have to think about studying To 10 increase the attraction for you to pay more attention to your work, you should share with your relatives and friends the difficulties at work and ask them to help you by regularly reminding you to pay attention Focus on learning, so you will be motivated and conditioned to pay more attention to learning with less opportunity for distraction Need to schedule a private time each day for studying Therefore, the first thing to is to put aside all the things that are not related to the current lesson Put thoughts about work out of your head during study time, and don't let worries dominate your concentration When something distracts you, make an effort to stop those thoughts and bring your attention back to the lesson as quickly as possible Focusing will help you solve the problems of the lesson much faster Concentration during class time: It is necessary to be highly focused in order to listen to the lecture and grasp the lesson right in class To so, it is necessary to have a sense of practice, to avoid being distracted Students should choose a position to sit at tables near the teacher who is lecturing, both being able to hear more clearly, and having the ability to talk less Speaking of asking questions to the teacher is also a way to make us more focused To give a good speech, students should write down their comments or statements on a piece of paper before speaking 11 PART C: CONCLUSION In summary, part-time employment by students is just a necessary shortterm and long-term strategy Whether or whether it is managed, it is an unstoppable tendency that will unavoidably develop What benefits and disadvantages part-time jobs for students have? Without a doubt, the solution exists There is much to gain, but also a lot to lose Consequently, "Should students work part-time or not?" Should and should, in my opinion, but supporting how students can both have income and be encouraged to find occupations that support their studies and majors is a must-have institution The design used by the Ministry of Education and Training REFERENCES https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/benefits-of-working-part-time/ 12 https://closer.vn/thuc-trang-viec-lam-them-cua-sinh-vien-hien-nay/ Ali, E (2017) Impact of Part-Time Work on the Academic New Zealand: Auckland Institute of Studies Budget, U S (1987) Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 1988 WASHINGTON: U.S GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE https://www.careeraddict.com/5-benefits-for-students-who-work-parttime-jobs https://baophapluat.vn/sinh-vien-di-lam-them-duoc-hay-matpost438395.html 13 ... performances of HUBT students” as my research paper Aims and objectives of the study Examine how part-time employment affects the learning outcomes of HUBT students In order to help HUBT part-time... disadvantages, which is one of the things that affect HUBT students' learning This study's focus is on the consequences of part-time employment among HUBT students The survey on the supplied form received... students who not work a part-time job, many HUBT students are able to combine their studies and complete their degrees on time iv LIST OF ABBREVIATION HUBT – Hanoi University of Business and Technology
