Working students and alcohol

Abstract

This study will explore students' perspectives on drinking in the workplace. We will be looking into company policies and find out if students feel these policies are enforced. Additionally, we will inquire as to whether or not students have ever gone into work drunk/hung over, and if they feel this is an acceptable thing to do. We will also be comparing these results to whether the students feel differently depending on the type of job they are in (related to a major or just a job to make some extra money). Surveys will be distributed randomly to classes in order to obtain different views on this subject. By conducting this research, we hope to gain a better understanding of students' views on this topic. Further understanding in this area should be valuable to students in the workforce and seeking future employment, current employers of students and college recruiters and to professors as they prepare students for current and future positions.
