NIQUINI, Roberta Pereira et al. WORK CHARACTERISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.1, pp.359-382. ISSN 0102-4698.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698122477.

Despite the high prevalence of working college students, there is limited evidence on the job characteristics that affect their academic performance. Thus, the aim of the present study is to identify job characteristics associated to the working college students' academic performance. A cross-sectional study was performed in 2007/2008, with a sample of undergraduate students from a public university (n = 211). A multiple logistic regression model was used in order to estimate the association between the explanatory variables and academic performance. Results show that low academic performance was associated with: being male, longer working hours and higher demands, low control and low social support at work. This study has highlighted the need for drawing students and teachers' attention to the selection of jobs/internships that can positively influence their academic performance.
