Abstract:

The study’s aim is to explore how self-efficacy, perceived social support and academic performance are related to one another when it comes to working students. The study used purposive sampling which included 61 female and 41 male working students in National University Fairview with ages 18-30 years old. The study utilized correlational research design. It was found that 68.60% were part-time employees with an average grade of 3.02. Test of normality was used to assess the normality of the distribution, using Kolmogorov-Smirnov. The results of the study show that self-efficacy has a significant relationship with academic performance and with perceived social support of the selected NU Fairview working students. However, there is no significant relationship between academic performance and perceived social support. By being ready for such situations, they can really be prepared to face them when they arise. When a working student is aware of his or her limitations in terms of academic performance, they may manage and handle situations appropriately. The levels and correlations between working students’ academic achievement, perceived social support, and self-efficacy have been determined by the researchers using a correlational design. The presence of a linear relationship between quantitative variables was ascertained using Pearson’s correlation.
