Abstract
Current research demonstrates that having a part-time job has a negative effect on a students academic performance. Using data derived from 189 students, this study examined the influence of a part-time job on academic performance and well-being, while also investigating the moderating influences of nationality and job relevance. Contrary to previous literature, the results indicated no significant difference in the academic performance of students with a part-time job compared to students without one. We found that students with a part-time job had higher well-being than students without a part-time job. There was no significant difference found in the academic performance between international and native students. Furthermore, international students with a part-time job related to their study outperformed native students within this category. The findings have implications for researchers and educational institutions, challenging the assumption that part-time jobs have a negative impact on academic performance and highlighting the need for study relevant jobs, as well as job and language support for international students.
