Abstract

We examine the effect of part-time employment on students’ academic performance using primary data collected from randomly selected 108 students of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU), Dinajpur. We estimate the impact of both work participation and work intensity of student involved in part time job on academic performance using ordinary least square (OSL) method. The regression results show that there is a significant negative relationship between work participation and academic performance of the students. Further, it was observed that the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) declines with increment hours in part time employment.
