Tóm tắt

Tóm tắtSinh viên đại học đi làm có ít thời gian hơn để học tập, báo cáo nhiều căng thẳng hơn, và tham gia ít hoạt động ngoại khóa hơn so với sinh viên không đi làm. Những kết quả tiêu cực này, xuất phát từ việc kết hợp làm việc và học tập, có thể khiến sinh viên đi làm cảm thấy không tương thích giữa các lĩnh vực công việc, học tập và đời sống xã hội, đồng thời cũng trải nghiệm cảm giác không tương thích về bản thân. Do đó, chúng tôi đã sử dụng các thông tin từ dữ liệu định lượng và định tính trước đó về sinh viên đi làm, cũng như các nghiên cứu trước về sự không tương thích trong bản sắc cá nhân để tạo ra hai câu hỏi nghiên cứu (CQN): CQN1. Sinh viên đi làm trải nghiệm loại hình không tương thích nào (thực tiễn, bản sắc hay loại khác)? và CQN2. Họ đã áp dụng những chiến lược nào để giảm thiểu sự không tương thích đã trải qua? Để trả lời những câu hỏi này, chúng tôi đã thực hiện một phân tích chủ đề với cách tiếp cận suy diễn dựa trên biên bản phỏng vấn 21 sinh viên đại học tại Vương quốc Anh. Các sinh viên đã báo cáo hai loại không tương thích: không tương thích thực tiễn, phát sinh từ việc thiếu thời gian, thiếu năng lượng và thiếu giao tiếp xã hội liên quan đến việc kết hợp làm việc và học tập; và không tương thích bản sắc, phát sinh từ sự khác biệt về địa vị và sự khác biệt giữa cảm nhận về bản thân của mình và của người khác. Để giảm thiểu hoặc giải quyết những sự không tương thích này, các sinh viên cũng đã phát triển những chiến lược thực tiễn (ví dụ: nghỉ phép có lương) và chiến lược nhận thức (ví dụ: chia tách các bối cảnh). Cuối cùng, các sinh viên cũng ghi nhận cách mà trải nghiệm không tương thích thực tiễn có thể khẳng định các giá trị của họ về sự chăm chỉ và năng suất, cũng như giúp họ trở thành những người học kiên cường.
