dc.description.abstractPart-time jobs have been considered as one of the factors influencing students‟ academic performances. This study aims to examine the impact of part-time jobs on student‟s academic performances in the faculty of humanities and social sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura. A quantitative approach was used. Three hundred and sixty (360) students were chosen as the samples of this study. Students‟ academic results in the form GPA, the amount of time spent on a part-time job, as well as types of jobs the students involved in, scrutinized to see the relation between part-time jobs and their academic result. Using a Simple random sampling method collected data from students of 13 departments in the faculty of Humanities and Social science. It was taken equal proportion respectively. Kie square test, factor analyzing, and Anova test used for data analysis. The results of the data analysis,68% of the total student ratio is in part-time employment and 32.7 percentage is not involved in part-time employment. Thus, the median test of two independent samples using the GPA is used to study whether part-time employment has an impact on the academic performance of undergraduates. The average of grades obtained by the students at the end of the second and third years was examined separately. Two hypotheses were tested. H1 hypothesis is accepted. That means there is no significant difference between education performance and engaging on or off part-time jobs. According to the study, results can be identified as there is no impact on education performance whether engaging on or off part-time jobs. Students were engaged 20 hours per week in part-time jobs and however, they covered their missed lessons before examinations. The main reason for engaging part-time job for to full fill the financial needs. If university students continue to focus on the jobs, they choose as part-time jobs and engage in jobs that are relevant to their field of study, then student productivity, as well as efficiency, will increase.
