Trang 7The study aims to identify and understand clearly the factors affecting thedecision to work part-time of students at Ho Chi Minh City University ofTechnology and Education (HCMUTE) based on a model consisting of 4factors, which are Personal Expenditure, Experience-life skill, Income, FreeTime
This research problem is discussed around with common questions such as:How do the factors mentioned affect the decision to work part-time of students
at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education?, Does thedecision to work part-time have much influence on the learning process atschool?, What necessary recommendations are needed for students whendecisioning to work part-time outside ?
To get the correct answer to the above questions, our team went through thefollowing two steps: The first step is to conduct qualitative research throughexpert interviews in order to build and calibrate the scale The second phase is
to perform quantitative research using a sample size (HCMUTE students)chosen at random, and data is collected using a Google Form To examineCronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA),the data is primarily analyzed using SPSS software
From the results obtained, the study has made recommendations to helpHCMUTE students have an overview of part-time jobs and carefully considertheir decision to work part-time

1 Reason for choosing the topic
During council, numerous scholars are engaged in part-time jobs outside ofclass time scholars are the age that understands that in addition to the task ofaccumulating solid knowledge, they also have to exercise further chops andgain experience in mortal society if they want to succeed explosively with anseductive income, suitable for their requirements the current standard ofliving Still, when society is decreasingly developing, the education andtraining of life chops in scholars haven't entered important attention, causingnumerous scholars to be unresistant and warrant the necessary chops Someimportant life chops that ensure the development and successful guidance ofpeople are needed similar as Decision timber, problem-working, creativethinking, critical thinking, and effective communication, all of that has to gothrough a literacy process currently, to hone those necessary chops, they will

Trang 10The research serves as an important data source to draw conclusions about thefactors affecting the decision to work part-time of HCMUTE students Fromthe research results, we make some recommendations and suitable solutions toimprove the development of students In particular, the topic helps studentshave a scientific view, better understand the factors affecting the decision towork part-time.
5.2 Practical meaning
From the study "Factors affecting the decision to work part-time of HCMUTEscholars", our platoon would like to propose the ensuing recommendations tohelp scholars come more and more perfect in their own opinions as well ashave a right view of part-time work and overall, tone-reflection to strive fordevelopment every day
The content helps scholars understand more deeply the factors affecting thedecision to work part-time and the degree of influence of the factors so that thescholars can acclimate their gets
