AB  - This paper employs a systematic approach to review previous studies conducted in multiple
countries on the effect of employment on undergraduate student academic performance. This
review focuses on understanding the population and characteristics of students taking jobs while
studying, the positive and negative effects of paid work on student academic performance, and if
there is a threshold of work hours. It was found that a high percentage range, 27.2-97 percent, of
college students were reported to take jobs while studying, with the main purpose of obtaining
financial stability or acquiring needed skills for future long term employment in the field of
study. More than a half of studies showed that employment has negative effects on academic
performance and only one study concluded more positive than negative effects. For those that
reported mixed results, the threshold was found to be 10-25 hours per week. This information
may be used to guide undergraduate students in taking employment when considering their study
and work balance.
