Abstract

This study examined the role of course satisfaction in correlations between academic performance and three characteristics of employment: employment status, kind of employment, and job's relevance to major. Data were obtained from 320 students by questionnaires. A stratified (by sex, major and class standing), random-sampling technique was used to obtain data from junior and senior full-time students at a state university. Academic performance was measured by semester's grade point average, employment status by working hours per week, kind of employment by reported job title, job's relevance to major by perceived relevance of the present job to academic major, and course satisfaction by self-evaluation of general feeling toward course work. Analysis indicates that satisfaction exerts differential effects on the academic grades of students with differing employment characteristics.
