Student Employment in Campus Recreation

With the many expenses that come with attending college, many students across the United States are forced to obtain a part-time job throughout their time at the University. Whether it is waiting tables at a local restaurant or working an on-campus job at the attending University, an additional income (to parental support) is a must. Let us take a look at the student workers’ satisfaction with working at their respected university’s recreational facility.

In a 2009 study2, studies showed that student employees working at a recreational facility with a high level of commitment to the organization had high levels of job satisfaction. As one of the most highly seeked out/hardest to get jobs on every campus, it is important for these undergraduate and graduate student workers to remain committed to their jobs. As a recreational administrator, it should be a priority to develop a positive relationship with student workers, directly relating to higher job satisfaction and retention rates.

Student workers play a vital role in running and maintaining the facility as well as carrying out campus recreation events such as intramural sports, 5Ks, and tailgates. In a 2005 finding1, the study suggested that students look at campus jobs as more than just making money, but a way to learn working skills that can be stationed into a future job.

Findings suggest that student worker employers should consider making a work environment that is enjoyable to keep retention levels of the workers at climax. In the students’ dedication to the organization, the benefits of paycheck, increased self-satisfaction, and positive attitudes will be experienced by administration and co workers as well as enhancing the moods of patrons who use the facility each day.

I am so scared what my mates are going to says if there should fined out i have herpes on my private part and due to the virus my girlfriend broke up with me. I have been to the Doctors 9 times to get it treated. They all come back. I have been using Tee Tree Oil and Wartner (You freeze them at home) and they seem to be keeping the smaller herpes small but they can't seem to treat the larger ones. They don't get any bigger, but then they can't shrink as much. They get smaller a little part at a time. At least they are getting smaller! As soon as I see a new herpes appearing, then I treat it. At the moment I have been using Tee Tree twice a week and then using Wartner every 2 weeks. I was wondering if there was any other information about how to get rid of it. I am only a teenager and I hate it most when it get pi-chins me to scratch it, it get sweets when scratching it most times! I want to get rid of it so bad!
