RELATED LITERATURES

2.1 Previous Studies

In the following section, I will explain two

previous studies: (i) Perbedaan Hasil Belajar Mahasiswa

yang Bekerja dengan Tidak Bekerja Program Studi

Pendidikan Teknik Bangunan Jurusan Teknik Sipil FT-UNP,

3

and (ii) Does Part Time Job Affect College Students

Satisfaction and Academic Performance (GPA).?

2.1.1 The first study was a research report by Purwanto, et.al

(2008) entitled Perbedaan Hasil Belajar Mahasiswa yang Bekerja

dengan Tidak Bekerja Program Studi Pendidikan Teknik Bangunan Jurusan

Teknik Sipil FT-UNP.

The previous study has research focus relationship

between student’s learning activities and student’s

learning achievement. The differences between the

student’s achievements for the ones who take the part

time job and the students who do not participate in

Educational Program of Building Engineering Department of

Civil Engineering. The research subjects are 277 college

students of Educational Program of Building Engineering

Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering,

State University of Padang in Semester January to June

2012 on 2008 generation.

The similarities with my own study are in having

research object. The part time job to college student and

in research methodology that uses observation college

student and also in the result of this study that the

working students achieved the better grade than the ones

who is not working and the working students do not feel

disturbing. Beside those similarities, there are points

of difference between my current study and this previous

one. The points are in the research subject are some

students who have part time job in Walisongo State

4

Islamic University and in research methodology, I use

interview, questionnaire, and observation method but in

previous study only use observation.

2.2.1 The Second was research report by Tessema, et. Al

entitled Does Part Time Job Affect College Students Satisfaction and Academic

Performance (GPA)?

The previous study has research focus on the effect

of work (number of working hours) on college student’

satisfaction and GPA first by grouping the respondents

into two categories: working and non-working. The

research object is part time job college student. The

research subject is the effect of work on satisfaction

and GPA by grouping students into five categories:

unemployed, 1-10 hours, 11-15 hours, 16-20 hours, 21-30

hours and 31 hours or more.

The similarity with my own study is in the research

object. It is part time job to college student. Beside

that there is point of difference between my current

study and this previous one. The point is in the research

subject, my research subject are some students who have

part time job in Walisongo State Islamic University and

this previous one in the research subject, are public

university that consist of two categories working and

non-working and then students who have work are derived

into five categories those who worked for 0 hour

(unemployed), 1-10 hours, 11-15 hours, 16-20 hours, 21-30

hours and 31 hours or more.

2.2 Related Literatures

2.2.1 The definition of Part Time Job

Elizabeth Walter on Cambridge Advanced Learner’s

Dictionary (2008) defines part-time is if you occupation

part-time or prepare part-time or do part-time work, you

work for only some of day or the week and Job is the

regular occupation which a person does to get money.

Victoria Bull on Oxford Learner’s Pocket Dictionary

(2008; 318) defines part-time is occupation only a part

of the day or week and job is work for which you accept

regular payment or particular duty or piece of work.

Other definition of part time job, According to

Wikipedia, a part-time job is a form of employment that

carries fewer hours per week than a full-time job.

Workers are considered to be part-time if they commonly

work fewer than 30 or 35 hours per week.

And other definition of part time job, According to

job search. about. Com a part-time job is those that

require you to work 35 hours, or under a programmed

amount of hours set by an employer, or less given week.

Four definitions of part-time job have been written

above, but basically they contain a similar definition: a

part time job is an occupation only some of day or week

if they commonly work fewer than 30 or 35 hours per week

where they accept regular payment or get money.

There are many kinds of part time job that has held

by college student. According to Suyadi on Miskin Bukan

6

Halangan Sekolah (2011;95) said that generally, there are

many kinds of part time jobs to college students, for

example : tutor ( private teacher to Elementary School,

Junior High School, and Senior High School), writer or

columnist who writes journal and articles, bisnisman and

businesswomen pulse, agent, editor, and seller. In

addition he also said on Miskin Bukan Halangan Sekolah

(2011; 214) that to college student who have part time

job, they can work freelance, bisnisman and

businesswomen, and tutor.

According to Adam Yazid on Moonlighting (24) said

that a college student who work with lecture can be said

does moonlighting or part-time job.

2.2.2 The Effect of Part time job to college student

Victoria Bull on Oxford Learner’s Pocket Dictionary

(2008; 143) defines effect (noun) is change that causes

in else; results particular look, sound or impression

that.

So Effect part time job to college student is change

that happened by college student who have part time job.

The change connects to their study and their daily

activities.

Based on observation, the writer derived to three

effects of part time job to college student are positive,

negative and both of them effects.

Victoria Bull on Oxford Learner’s Pocket Dictionary

(2008; 342 and 293) defines positive (adjective) is

7

thinking about what is good in a situation and negative

is bad and harmful or lacking enthusiasm or hope. So,

positive effect of part time job for college student is

things that influence increasing or helping their study

and their daily activities. While negative effect of part

time job for college student is things that influence

decreasing or disturbing their study and their daily

activities.

There are many opinions about effects of part time

job to college students. These are positive effects.

According to Laura W Perna on Understanding The Working

College Student (2010; XIII) said that Drawing on the

limited available research, college administrators,

faculty and researchers have expected than 10 to 20

hours per week at work on campus, on the concept that

such a knowledge will increase their integration into and

following persistence at a campus.

The results offer foundation for emerging

institutional policies and practices that are founded on

the experiences and registration patterns of adult

employee who are also students.

According to Laura W Perna on Understanding the

Working College Student (2010; XXI) mentioned also that

the qualitative investigates draw on data from focus

collections lead at multiple institutions to examine the

barriers to academic success facing adult students who

job. The results show differences in the academic

experiences of adult students based on occupation status

8

and hut light on the ways that tests connected to time

and money limit academic success for adult students.

Furthermore based on Suyadi on Miskin Bukan Halangan

Sekolah (2011; 198) has made the difference table between

original student and worker-student.

The difference table between original student and worker-

student

NO Original Student Worker-Student1. Lazy worker Hard worker2. Have narrow knowledge,

paradigmatic, theoretical,

and unrealistic

Have large knowledge,

flexible, realistic,

idealize, dynamic, and

attractive3. Despairing Not despairing4. Disliking challenge Liking challenge5. Can’t manage money and

time

Can manage money and time

6. Future is not clearly or

doubt

Future is clearly or

certain

According to Suyadi on Miskin Bukan Halangan Sekolah(2011; 95 and 198) said that actually, 90% poor collegestudents who have part time job are more quickly afterindependent and successful college graduate, althoughthey could achieve success in slowly and students whofilled with the activity of work even, it turns out itsindependence much more than with a student who just alecture.

9

Furthermore based on Suyadi on Miskin Bukan Halangan

Sekolah (2011; 199) said that on the fact that different

to be demonstrated in the field. A student who only

college more difficult and slow to success with students

who work for business and hard work that students

continue much higher compared with a student who only

college and the creativity of a power that work will

develop better if dealing with it different and varied.

On the other hand according to Hellen W. Akinc on

The Prager Handbook for College Parents (2010; 129) said

that the students may start to work a few more hours a

week, or hop a class here and there because they had to

work late and could not awake in time to go to class or

the boss called them at the last minute and was serious

to have them come in and substitute one night before a

test and so they did not have time to learn as much as

they had planned and then did not do well on the test. It

is important to pay attention and attend carefully if a

student starts to work extra hours, skip class, or the

grades begin to suffer. Sometimes the student will

require to be reminded about the original purpose to

attending college.

Many colleges and universities have policies to that

influence and will not agenda work-learn students more

than 10 or 15 hours per week while some studies designate

that the number of hours students devote in learning has

decreased significantly, still the of thumb is for every

hour the student devotes in class, the student will

10

devote at least three hours on learn, assignments,

reading, and preparation.

In addition according to William E. Hugan II on

Retention of Minority Students in Engineering(1977; 62 to

63) said that those schools that have observed negative

effects of working generally agree that the work consumes

time that should be devoted to academic pursuits.

Generally, the jobs are not related to engineering and

leave very little time for studies.
