The objective of the study was to study an ever increasing strength of working students on university campuses in pursuit of education. We formulated three Hypotheses for our research project; 1 Working Students are more self-motivated as compared to Non-Working Students. 2, Time Management Self-Assessment is more likely to poor in Non-Working Students as compared to Working Students. 3, Personality Traits of Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience is stronger among Working and Non-Working Students. The sample size of our study consisted of 140 participants; 70 working and 70 non working students who were currently enrolled in 7th or 8th semesters in the Private Universities; UMT, BNU & UCP. The participants were selected by Purposive sampling on the basis of their availability and consent to participate in the study. Participants were given questionnaires which included Demographic questions, scales of Personality Traits, Time Management Self Assessment and Motivation Inventory. Relevant measures were used to tap these variables after taking permission from the authors. We used Independent Sample T test for our research and correlation regression. Analysis of results revealed that working students had significantly higher degree of motivation than their counterparts. They were also higher on time management than non-working students; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Bothe the groups were compared on personality traits as well but they were found to be scoring more or less the same and so no difference was observed in the result of personality attributes of both groups (working and non-working students). To sum up, self-motivation defined the two groups clearly as distinct from each other clearly and convincingly. The findings are discussed along with implications for students, educators and college administrators.enThesis
