The Role of Study Habits and Part-Time Employment on Academic Success: Time Management as a Mediator

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of study habits and part-time employment on student academic success, also exploring the mediating role of time management. The research design for this study is quantitative, and it follows a positivist philosophy. A deductive research approach was used to guide the investigation. The research population consists of students at Thal University Bhakkar, with a total student population of 6,000. The sample size for this study is 300 students, selected using a simple random sampling technique to ensure that the sample is representative of the broader population. Data were collected through surveys, and the analysis was conducted using SPSS and SMART PLS SEM. The findings of the study reveal that study habits play a significant role in academic success. Additionally, the study shows that part-time employment has a notable effect on academic success. Most importantly, the research indicates that time management acts as a significant mediator, influencing how study habits and part-time employment together affect academic success. This study contributes to academic literature by providing insights into the interplay between study habits, part-time work, and time management in a regional and cultural context.
