Abstract:
This paper presents the survey results of part-time employment of students at Ton Duc Thang University. In this research, demand and status of part-time employment as well as effect of part-time employment on students’ learning results will be clarified. The results in this research were released with the support of statistical tools such as independent samples T-Test, Paired-samples T-Test, Chi-squared test, analysis of variance ANOVA. In particular, this paper finds that the demand of part-time employment of students depends on age, course and major; the reasons of taking part-time employment is to increase income; the majority of students choose simple jobs which do not require specialized skills, hence, it cannot improve student learning performance and even has negative effects on students who do jobs of deliverer and leaflets. The finding of the paper, in addition to helping leaders in Ton Duc Thang University that build models of support and management of student part-time employment effectively, is also an extreme useful source of reference for social science researchers in the world about case study in Vietnam where none of research involved in student part- time employment is published internationally.
