we review the effects of student employment on their social life outside the domain of families and schools. Some studies examine the interpersonal relationship
at work (Greenberger, Steinberg, and Ruggiero 1982) and find that the workplace is
rarely a place where close relationships are fostered for working students. However,
high quality jobs that offer working students positive experience may lead to the
development of closer relationships with colleagues (Mortimer and Shanahan 1991).
Not surprisingly, those students with positive work experience report the workplace
as a source of satisfaction (Ford and Bosworth 1995). And many students indeed
report that the workplace provides an additional dimension to their social lives
(Hodgson and Spours 2000), a place where they can meet new people and enjoy good
sociability (Curtis 2007).
