Abstract
Part-time employment during studying is increasing steadily. This study analyzes the effect on academic performance and well-being on students with and without a part-time job. Socioeconomic background was analyzed as a moderator for the relationship between working hours and academic performance. The data was obtained via a questionnaire and students were gathered by convenience sampling (n=276). The study shows that students without a part-time job have higher GPA than students with a part-time job. There is no difference in the level of well-being. Socioeconomic background was found to not moderate the relationship between working hours and academic performance. This study concludes that there is a difference in academic performance between working and non-working students, while there is no effect of the working hours on academic performance. Furthermore, the implications, limitations and future research of the study are discussed.
