Abstract

The present study investigates the impact of social media use on important variables influencing part-time student workers, particularly work-study balance, engagement related to both academic and job, stress, and time management behaviour. The growing integration of social media into daily life activities makes it essential to understand its impact on students who are both working and studying. Social media can either support or hinder part-time student workers in balancing their dual roles as student and employee. This set of population encounters unique challenges that need to be addressed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out how social media use affects these factors and to test whether variables such as time management behaviour and stress mediate these relationships.
