of the student union, more than 80% of Vietnamese students have at least one part-time job while attending university There is a plenty of different kinds of part-time jobs include jobs in the fast food or restaurant industry, jobs as waiter/receptionist, staffing agencies, teaching assistant, etc Like many university students, HUFLIT IBA seniors take on a part-time job during the senior year of university as the desire for independence Particularly, their decision to work not simply for financial reason to contribute to family expense that they more likely to be happy with the money they got, with many aspects of their lives, their work HUFLIT IBA seniors who earn their own money tend to spend it wisely Moreover, they believed that the early valuable experience gained through the part-time jobs would help them obtain advantage employment prospects and develop skills in the future than those who did not have parttime jobs In general, the part-time job brings many advantages and reinforces what students are learning in university 1.2 Objectives Besides the obvious advantages of going to work, HUFLIT IBA seniors face many other difficulties as well These are direct impacts on students include lacking of time to study, being stressful, no job security and insurance benefit, less chance of receiving promotion, not having time for relations The converse theorem of students "work ahead, study later" seems unreasonable, but when part-time job has caused students cannot attend classes because of too many debts or excessive absenteeism, and then must consider this theorem Students are more attracted to the jobs than learning Students have been swept into the spinning wheel of making money The higher the work intensity, the lower the quality of learning, the learning becomes secondary when the demand for money is too large Another problem is that the intensity of work is inversely proportional to student health The more students work, their healthy is more likely leads to get worse, going to work and therefore they often skip meals Consequently, they not ensure their health condition while going to the lecture hall This scientific research will point out how those The negatives effects of part-time jobs on HUFLIT IBA seniors Page Chapter Introduction aspects affect HUFLIT IBA seniors and the solutions What is more, an interpretation of the facts indicates

therefore, it is difficult to getting a part-time job while attending in university No job security & insurance benefit Many companies prefer hiring part-time workers because the part-timer jobs are not provided the compensations such as sick leave, annual leave, vacation, health insurance or medical treatment which cost so much Less chance of receiving a promotion Part-timers cannot be promoted in a higher position as quickly as permanent employees The companies will not consider having a promotion for part-time workers because HUFLIT IBA seniors are not at the workplace all the time, so they may not get a chance to show their talents or skills when necessary The high risk of quitting job as a temporary worker is one of the reasons that the company will reject to give you a promotion The social involvement The working hours of HUFLIT IBA seniors as per their own free and convenient time but HUFLIT IBA seniors rarely concentrate to other important areas of their life Particularly, they may not take time to family and friends, chat with them and spend the free time to enjoy their hobbies instead of working 1.2 Rationale The negative sides of part-time jobs on HUFLIT’s DIBA senior Students:  taking interest in and looking for part-time jobs  should be oriented part-time jobs matching their major Objectives o Actual situation about HUFLIT’s DIBA senior’s part-time jobs o The negatives of part-time jobs on HUFLIT’s DIBA senior o Solutions to reduce negative sides o Companies provide part-time jobs for HUFLIT’s DIBA senior, appropriate for their majors Scope Research area: DIBA of HUFLIT Address: 302 Cao Thang Street, Ward 12, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City Sample size: 300 students Target respondents: Seniors Methodology  Quantitative and qualitative method  Data collection: primary and secondary data  Primary data: paper surveys will be answered by students in break time or after school  Secondary data: printed books, website and article (Expected) Results o 47% students find that it’s difficult to balance between studying and working (highest percentage) o The part-time environment jobs that HUFLIT’s DIBA senior want to work in: dynamic, competitive, formal…  HUFLIT’s DIBA senior’s viewpoints when looking for part-time jobs o The effect of part-time job on HUFLIT’s DIBA senior includes: studying (67%), time for family, friends (22%) and time for personal activities (11%) References Nguyen, P T A., Chau, T L D., & Hoang, M T (2014) The impact of having part-time jobs on students’ learning results in Can Tho university Retrieved from https://sj.ctu.edu.vn/ql/docgia/download/baibao-565/trongtruong_so26d_05.pdf Nguyen, T C T (2015) Students and part-time jobs, reality and solutions Retrieved from http://luanvan.co/luan-van/luan-van-van-de-viec-lam-them-doi-voi-sinhvien-hien-nay-51541/ Phan, T L., Trinh, T M L., Pham, T Q., Nguyen, D K., Tran, M H., Mai, H L., Nguyen, D K (2010) Students and part-time jobs Retrieved from http://luanvan.net.vn/luan-van/tieu-luan-sinh-vien-voi-viec-lam-them-28925/ Agenda Week Date Content Tasks Members Deadline Thursday, Discussing and All Wednesday, Feb 9th, finding out the Feb 15th, 2017 topic 2017 Thursday, Choosing the Feb 16th, topic 2017 Proposal design All Tuesday, Feb 21st, Background Huyen Rationale Chau Objectives Scope Methodology Anh (Expected) Results All References Agenda Questionnaire 2017 Thursday, All Feb 23rd, Proposal Feb 23rd, 2017 presentation 2017 Thursday, All Mar 2nd, Science 2017 research design Questionnaire Science 2017 research design Questionnaire Science 2017 research design Literature Review Science 2017 research design References Science 2017 research design Methodology Apr 5th, All Results and Apr 12th,, 2017 Analysis 2017 Apr 13th, All Wednesday, Apr 19th, Suggestion(s) 2017 2017 11 Wednesday, Apr 6th, Thursday, 10 Wednesday, 2015 Thursday, Mar 28th, All Mar 30th, Tuesday, 2017 Thursday, Mar 21st, All Mar 23rd, Tuesday, 2017 Thursday, Mar 14th, All Mar 16th, Tuesday, 2017 Thursday, Mar 7th, All Mar 9th, Tuesday, 2017 Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Introduction Apr 20th, Conclusion & All Wednesday, Apr 26th,, 2017 Recommendations Science Cover 2017 Chau research design Acknowledgements Table of Contents List of Anh Abbreviation List of Tables List of Figures Abstract Huyen Appendix Peer Assessment 12 13 Thursday, Writing script Apr 27th, Making video May 3rd, 2017 clip 2017 Thursday, Making model May 4th, Preparing May 10th, 2017 presentation 2017 Thursday, 14 All All All Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday, May 11th, Presenting May 11th, 2017 solutions 2017 Questionnaire PEERS ASSESSMENT Total of No Members ID Assignments completing percent Implementing Minh _ Chau Thi Vo 13DH490835 well following 100% the agenda Implementing Huyen Ngoc Do 13DH490910 well following 100% the agenda Implementing Quynh _ Anh Thi Nguyen 13DH490045 well following the agenda 100% Signature ...
