The Effect of Extracurricular Activities on Career Outcomes: a Literature Review

چکیده
Although much attention has already been devoted to the benefits of extracurricular activities (ECAs) in general – both from a developmental and from a social perspective – little time has been devoted to a complete academic study of the effects of university ECAs in particular. This review draws on insights from psychology, social psychology, economics and sociology in an attempt to develop a holistic perspective on the effects of college ECAs on labour market outcomes and career success. The various shortcomings of this research area are highlighted with additional considerations for future research.
