Employment of Adolescents while in High School: Employment Intensity, Interference with Schoolwork, and Normative Approval

Prior research documenting a negative relationship between intense parttime employment and grade point average among high school students has failed to address whether the students themselves perceive a negative relationship, and if so whether parents, teachers, and other school officials are perceived as discouraging intense employment by low-achieving students who want to go on to college. Based on the responses of 457 randomly sampled students intending to attend college who held fast food jobs during high school, the results of this study suggest that degree of perceived interference of the job with schoolwork is correlated with level of employment intensity, and that teachers (and other school personnel) are perceived as discouraging intense employment by low-achieving students while parents are not. Implications of these findings are discussed.
