- Abstract
As the cost of attendance for colleges and universities continue to rise, an increasing number of students are choosing to work while taking classes. Balancing work and school influences students’ mental and physical health, and health behaviors. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between students’ ability to manage work demands, college and life responsibilities, and health outcomes. Through an online survey, data was collected from 2534 college students attending a large university in the Southeast of the United States. Survey questions assessed quality of life and work-life management using the 12-Item Short-Form Health survey (SF-12) and the Work-Life Balance survey, respectively. Results indicated that work status, work hours, work location, sleep, age, class status, gender, and majors are all factors that contribute to work-life balance and quality of life. The findings provide insight on how institutions and employers can address the needs of college students to allow better work-life balance and health management.
