Abstract

Working while learning has become a trend for certain people in the age of globalization. The purpose of this study was to see how working while studying affects work commitment and academic accomplishment among special education teachers. This research employs a quantitative method in the form of a questionnaire. A total of 40 Special Education teachers who are currently enrolled in a Malaysian public institution were chosen at random. The Google Forms tool is used to distribute questionnaire forms. The responders are communicated with using the WhatsApp and Telegram applications. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26 was used to examine the study's findings. According to the study's findings, most teachers have a moderate level of work commitment, as well as a moderate level of academic achievement. Having two commitments at the same time leads the ability of the individual to manage time wisely. The findings of the study can help school leaders comprehend the challenges that instructors face. Furthermore, time is crucial in producing high-quality work and achieving academic success.
