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.
