Less time to spend on studying (Lang 2012)
Job demands have a negative impact on students’ satisfaction and well-being (Chambel & Curral, 2005)
Job went along with studies (Butler, 2007)
Jobs improve social, cognitive, and practical skills (Greene & Maggs, 2015)
Hypothesis: Students who are employed will have better time management than those who are not employed
