Abstract
The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of part-time jobs on study performance of students, and in particular the effects of non-regular working hours on study performance. The relation between part-time jobs and study performance, with study year as moderator and stress and effort as mediators, was analysed by executing a multiple regression analysis for moderated mediation models via the PROCESS option in SPSS. Data was collected via a questionnaire and respondents (students) were gathered via the snowball sampling method (n= 311). The results indicate no difference in study performance between students who work and students who do not work. In contrast, differences in study performance were found between students who work during non-regular working hours and students who do not work during non-regular working hours. Effort and stress are affecting study performance, while study year has no effect on study performance. Therefore, this study concludes that there is no effect of part-time jobs on study performance, while there is an effect of non-regular working hours on study performance. Possible explanations for the results, practical and theoretical implications and limitations of this study are explored in the discussion
