The work–study relationship: experiences of full‐time university students undertaking part‐time employment (2010, background): “Those full‐time students who work more than 10 hours per week are more likely to report difficulties in combining work with study (Curtis and Shani 2002 ; Ford, Bosworth, and Wilson 1995 ; King and Bannon 2002 ; Metcalfe 2001 ).”
The impact of term‐time employment on higher education students’ academic attainment and achievement (2008, background): “For instance, the UK studies (including the current one – Van Dyke, Little, and Callender 2005 ) show that students miss lectures and seminars; spend less time studying, reading or preparing their assignments; make less use of library facilities and experience increased levels of stress and tiredne”
Using Assessment to Support Student Learning (2010, background): “Studies of the impact of students undertaking paid employment in parallel with full-time study show that such students study fewer hours (Curtis & Shami, 2002) and perform significantly less well (Paton-Salzberg & Lindsay, 1993).”
International student‐workers in Australia: a new vulnerable workforce (2009, background): “…the proportion of students employed, number of hours they labour and the effect employment has on academic results and well-being (Curtis 2000; Curtis and Shani 2002; Manthei and Gilmore 2005; Tam and Morrison 2005; Riggert et al. 2006; Zimmer-Gembeck and Mortimer 2006; Bexley et al. 2007;…”

Exploring the work/life/study balance: the experience of higher education students in a Scottish further education college (2007, unknown): “Various empirical studies have examined the nature and impact of part time work amongst students (Ford et al., 1995; Taylor, 1998; Smith & Taylor, 1999; Metcalf, 2001; Curtis & Shani, 2002; Hunt et al., 2004; Carney et al., 2005).”
The relationship between students’ perceptions of portfolio assessment practice and their approaches to learning (2008, unknown): “Gibbs and Simpson ( 2004 ) refer to the research of Innis ( 1996 ), Curtis and Shami ( 2002 ) and Paton‐Saltzberg and Lindsay ( 1993 ), indicating that students who spend more time on assessed tasks perform significantly better than those spending less time.”
Increasing Inequality in Higher Education: The role of term-time working (2003, background): “…on their studies, has affected their attendance at lectures and seminars, has affected production of assignments, has reduced time devoted to studying and has increased stress (Ford et al., 1993; Lindsay & Paton-Saltzberg, 1996; Barke et al., 2000; Callender & Kemp, 2000; Curtis & Shani, 2002).”
The challenges of reflection: students learning from work placements (2007, background): “There is also a need to recognise and negotiate with the realities of students’ financial need to work to support their studies (Curtis & Shani, 2002; Curtis, 2004).”
The influence of personal networks and social support on study attainment of students in university education (2008, background): “Not attaining a diploma was predicted by the amount of time students spent working, which is also consistent with previous studies ( Curtis and Shani 2002; Van den Berg 2002; Van den Berg and Hofman 2005).”
Conditions Under Which Assessment Supports Students’ Learning (2005, unknown): “Studies of the impact of students undertaking paid employment in parallel to full time study show that such students study fewer hours (Curtis & Shami, 2002) and perform signiicantly less well (PatonSalzberg & Lindsay, 1993).”
Students in Cities: A Preliminary Analysis of Their Patterns and Effects (2009, background): “Student surveys confirm these patterns, with some recent growth in routine office services (particularly clerical work and call centres) and social care work (nursing and childcare) (Broadbridge and Swanson, 2006; CHERI, 2005; Curtis and Shani, 2002; Smith and Taylor, 1999).”
The impact of part time employment on students' health and academic performance: a Scottish perspective (2005, background): “More recently, Curtis and Shani ( 2002 ) reported that students doing part time work reported adverse effects on study in the form of missed lectures, and students' perceptions are that coursework grades are lower than they would have been had they not been working.”
