RESEARCH REPORT OF PART-TIME JOB
Le Nguyen
Background:
Recently, the price has increased with strong growth rate due to the higher oil price. It is making the living cost of
Aims:
The aim of this report is to investigate pre-sessional students’ attitudes at part-time job and the suitable time that the students choose to work.
Method:
The sample:
The sample size was 10 questions. Thirty-three people joined this research. These participants were all the pre-sessional student of London Metropolitan University and from different countries.
Data collection:
This research was conducted by ten questions and face-to-face interview of thirty-three people. The questionnaire was designed by the common answers and provided open end responses for additional comments. The survey was voluntary and anonymous. No personal information was collected.
Findings:
* Findings regarding pre-sessional students’ attitudes at the part-time job:
The statement that over half (52%) of the interviewees agreed that it was necessary for students to take the part-time job, whereas a negligible number of people (6%) disagreed with that. Similarly, about forty-two percentage of those surveyed said that they did not mind the importance of the part-time job.
The fact that two thirds (67%) students did the part-time job and twelve out of thirty-three (36%) of them admitted that the part-time job could affect their studies. They stated that it was too tired to go to school after working very hard. It seemed to explain why pre-sessional students went to school late.
Almost sixty-seven percentage of participants thought that the part-time job could improve their skills generally. Conversely, nearly a third (30%) of those who responded agreed with was that the part-time job improved their skills greatly.
A very interesting finding was what the biggest benefit the students got from the part-time job. A significant number (30%) revealed that they felt more confident to establish the foundation for the future career and got more experience in the life than before. Six in thirty-three people only thought about the future career. They did not pay attention other factors. As expectation, twenty-seven percentage of those who answered said that they felt encourage when they supported in finance by themselves.
* Findings regarding the suitable time for pre-sessional students to take the part-time job:
Unsurprisingly, less than a half (48%) of the respondent worked at the weekend and thirty-nine percentage of people worked when they have spare time. Just a small number (6%) of students wanted to work on holidays.
In terms of the duration of working, a minority (6%) of those who were interviewed worked from five to ten hours per week. Approximately twenty-seven percentage of students who worked from ten to fifteen hours a week is slightly higher than those who work over fifteen hours a week (21%). Only four in thirty-three people worked from one to five hours a week. The trend of working over fifteen hours per week was more likely to increase in the future because nearly seventy percentage of the participants were willing to do the part-time time as much as possible if they could find a better job with higher salary and promotion.
These results suggested that pre-sessional students seemed to like to take the part-time job at the weekend.
