Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the stress level among part-time students and its relationships to their psychological well-being status. 92 part-time students agreed to be the respondents for this study. Data was collected using a set of questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regressions. Descriptive statistics revealed that major stressors for work stress were performance demand, long working hours, overwork and deadline, dealing with difficult people and role conflict. For family stress, the major stressors were money constraint, having too much debts and bills to pay, family members’ health problems, insufficient time with family, and burden with household tasks. The findings of this study revealed that there was a low positive relationship between psychological well-being and family stress, negative correlation between psychological well-being and self-efficacy, and no significant relationship between psychological well-being and work stress. For multiple regressions, results showed that only family stress and self-efficacy had a significant relationship on psychological well-being. It is also suggested that for future research, this type of study is to be extended to all part-time students from variety of programs from various higher institutions throughout Malaysia
