Work competition is increasing, causing work-related stress among employees. To manage work stress, employees are expected to have time management skills. Furthermore, research shows that time management skills can create work-life balance, which improves individual quality of life. Although many studies have examined the influence of time management on work-life balance, none have specifically investigated this in the Human Resource (HR) profession. The HR profession carries different workloads compared to other positions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of time management on work-life balance among employees in the Human Resource Division. Using a quantitative approach with purposive sampling technique, data were collected from 104 HR employees through questionnaires. The results indicate that time management significantly influences work-life balance with a contribution of 27.3% (R² = 0.273; p < 0.001). This finding shows that the better the time management skills of employees, the higher the level of work-life balance they experience. Further analysis shows that demographic variables such as gender and marital status do not significantly affect the relationship between time management and work-life balance. However, the number of children shows potential marginal influence, and daily working hours significantly affect the relationship between time management and work-life balance. Therefore, it is important for companies not only to promote time management skills but also to consider daily workload to improve employees’ work-life balance, especially in the Human Resource division

Background To perform daily activities, time management and organizational skills are essential and therefore also important intervention focus in occupational therapy. To guide and evaluate intervention, valid and reliable instruments that measure time management and organization skills are necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Assessment of Time Management Skills (ATMS). Methods Eligible participants were volunteer adults from the general population who were aged between 18 and 65 years, had a good understanding of English, and were not currently involved in any training or education to improve time management. The ATMS was filled out as a computer-administered survey. Rasch measurement analysis was used to evaluate the validity and aspects of reliability of the ATMS. Results In total, 241 adults (112 male and 129 female, mean age = 40) participated. The analysis of principal components of residuals (PCA) and the item goodness-of-fit indicated that the 30-item scale does not measure only one single trait. Three subscales, time management (11 items), organization and planning (11 items), and regulation of emotion (5 items), were detected. One item each on the 11-item subscale showed misfit, but they were kept due to high relevance. All three subscales showed excellent results on analyses of PCA, local independence, and reliability. Conclusions and Relevance. ATMS can provide valid measures of time management, organization and planning skills, and regulation of emotion in a general population and presumably also in a population with cognitive impairment. The measure is useful for occupational therapists in assessing patients' strengths and barriers in time management skills. It can also be useful in identifying the necessity of training time management skills, to guide OT intervention programs and to evaluate interventions. What This Article Adds. Knowledge about the psychometric properties and usefulness of the ATMS in English-speaking countries.

The article examines the essence and definition of time management skills, as well as their role and importance in personnel management. Attention is focused on the need to declare in the personnel policy the requirements for the use of time management tools. The most complete definition of corporate time management in accordance with the management functions is highlighted. The most common time management problems for HR managers are generalized. The principles of time management are grouped: prioritization of tasks; planning; goal setting; elimination of distractions; delegation of tasks; use of technology; priority of self-care, stress management; use of templates; setting realistic deadlines; ability to say “no”; flexibility. The article summarizes the strategies of the HR manager to improve time management skills in the team: 1. Setting priorities, which will be helped by classical and innovative techniques developed by European and other foreign authors. 2. Use of technologies (programs, applications). 3. Effective delegation (if someone can perform a task at least 80% as well as you, delegation is ideal). 4. Setting realistic deadlines. 5. Conducting a time audit and reducing distractions, maintaining a work-life balance. 6. Simplifying communication. 7. Fostering a culture of productivity. 8. Continuous improvement. It was emphasized that the HR department should conduct trainings on the development of time management skills, which will help to find out the reasons for unproductive time at work (perhaps employees are overloaded or waiting for additional data to continue performing tasks), problems with planning time for tasks, prioritization. Developed time management skills not only increase the chances of getting a job in a prestigious company, but also open up new prospects for career growth. Regardless of your profession, effective time management is an integral part of success. The focus on EU best practices contributes to the formation of a modern corporate culture that emphasizes staff motivation, delegation of authority, and planning. For Ukrainian companies, this is not only a way to increase competitiveness, but also an important stage of integration into the European economic space.

Background: Persons with impaired time management skills are often in need of occupational therapy. Valid and reliable instruments to assess time management and organizational skills are needed for the evaluation of intervention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Swedish version of the Assessment of Time Management Skills (ATMS-S) for persons with and without impaired time management skills.Method: A total of 238 persons participated in the study, of whom 94 had self-reported impaired time management skills due to mental disorders such as schizophrenic spectrum or neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and mild intellectual disabilities, and 144 persons had no reported impaired time management skills. Rasch analysis was used to analyze data.Results: Three subscales were detected: the time management subscale with 11 items, the organization & planning subscale with 11 items, and the subscale of regulation of emotions with 5 items, with excellent to acceptable psychometric properties. The conclusions were that: ATMS-S is a valid instrument for self-rating of time management, organization & planning and for the regulation of emotions. ATMS-S can be useful for persons with mental disorders including mild neurodevelopmental disorders.

Time management is an essential skill in the nursing profession, directly impacting individual performance, patient care quality, and the overall efficiency of healthcare organizations. Despite its importance, many nurses struggle with effective time management, leading to increased stress and reduced job satisfaction. Objective: This study aims to assess the time management skills of staff nurses in tertiary care hospitals and identify areas for improvement. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in selected wards of tertiary care hospitals. A total of 142 staff nurses participated in the study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, which included 22 Nurse's Time Management Inventory items. Responses were scored on a 3-point Likert scale, and nurses were classified into low, moderate, and high time management categories. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 25), with descriptive statistics used to summarize the data. Results: The study found that 64.8% of the nurses demonstrated moderate time management skills, while 31.0% had low time management abilities. Only 4.2% of the participants exhibited high time management skills. Most nurses were in the 31-35 age group, predominantly female, and had 6-10 years of work experience. The study highlighted a significant need for improvement in time management skills among the nursing workforce. Conclusion: The findings indicate that while most nurses possess moderate time management skills, a substantial portion struggle with effectively managing their time. These results underscore the necessity for targeted interventions, including structured training programs, to enhance time management abilities among nurses, thereby improving both job performance and patient care outcomes.

The aim of the current study is to examine the effects of mothers' home management ability on school-aged children's time and life management skills through the mediation effect of children's self-regulation. Study subjects were 317 5- and 6-grade children at elementary schools located in Seoul and Gyeonggi area and their 317 mothers. The findings were as follows. First, in the SEM model of predicting children's time management skill, greater mothers' home management ability significantly predicted better time management skills among their children. Second, mothers' home management ability also indirectly affected children's time management skill through its significant effects on children's self-regulation. The test yielded a significantly mediation effect of self-regulation. Children's self-regualtion was strongly related to time management skills. Third, in the SEM model predicting children's life management skills, maternal ability of home management again directly predicted greater life management skills of their children. However, mediation of self-regulation was not statistically significant. The findings suggested the important role of mothers' home management ability in instilling and modeling self-regulation and self-management skills of school-aged children.

Objective:This study aims to determine the relationship between the time management skills of nursing students and their academic achievements during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method:The population of this descriptive study consisted of private University Health Sciences Faculty Nursing Department 2021–2022 Academic Year Fall Semester second year (n = 106), third year (n = 72), and fourth year (n = 88) students (n = 266). No sample selection was made in the study and the data were obtained from 182 students. The data of the study were collected online using the Participant Introduction Form and Time Management Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences 18.0 package software. Results:The mean score of the students on the time management inventory was found to be 90.93 ± 11.67. A statistically significant difference was found between the overall Time Management Questionnaire mean score and the variables of “presence of time-wasting factor during the distance education period” (p = .16) and “duration of social media use” (p = .13, p < .05). A statistical significance was found between the mean scores of the time attitudes subdimension and “presence of time-wasting factor during the distance education period” (p = .001) and “the duration of social media use” (p = .010, p < .05). Conclusion:The students’ time management skills were determined to be at a “high” level, the factors that caused time loss during the distance education period and the duration of social media use affected the time management skills, and the time management skills did not affect academic success.

"Emphasizing time on task" has been included in the seven principles of undergraduate medical education. Improper time management (TM) leads to frustration, dissatisfaction, anxiety, and depression of not achieving the desired academic performance. This study was planned to examine the relationship between TM, self-directed learning readiness, and academic performance among the medical students of a tertiary healthcare institution. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 295 medical undergraduate students for six months using a standard tool Fisher's self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) questionnaire for SDL readiness and Britton and Tesser's TM questionnaire for TM-skills. An SDLR score of ≤150 and a TMQ score of ≤58 were taken as low readiness for SDL and poor TM skill. Descriptive analysis was performed, and a multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was performed to discover the correlation of good TM skills. A total of 175[59.3%, 95% CI: 53.6-64.9] had low readiness for SDL, and 216[73.2%, 95% CI: 67.9-77.9] had poor TM skills. Academic scores showed a weak positive correlation (r = 0.2, P = <0.001) with TM scores. Females [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.9,95% CI: 1.6-5.6], students belonging to rural domicile [AOR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.1-3.8], and high readiness for SDL [AOR = 4.8, 95% CI: 2.6-8.8] were independent correlates of good TM skills. Every six and seven out of ten medical undergraduates were found to have low readiness for SDL and poor TM skills, respectively. Emphasizing SDL as a part of professional education and the importance of TM in professional courses such as Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery is important.

Time management skills cannot be released with student learning activities in project-based learning. The development of PjBL-based student worksheets is expected to not only empower higher-level thinking skills but also students’ time management. This study aims to develop project-based learning worksheets. This research was conducted by using the Plomp design research consisting of preliminary, prototyping, and assessment phases. The results of this research revealed that both of critical thinking and creative thinking skills had increased (medium category) and it was have an impact on improving student time management with an effect size of 14,18 (very high). There was a`positive correlation between HOTs with students’ time management skill (r=0,82). Both of critical thinking and creative thinking were involving mental processes at each stage of project implementation so students must be able to manage their time well. This happens repeatedly and structured. Finally, the implementation of PjBL-based student’s worksheet can improve student’s higher-order thinking skills and time management skills.

This study aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy and teacher academic support on students’ time management skills in extracurricular activities. In the context of modern education, student involvement in non-academic activities demands balanced time management skills. This study used a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The research sample amounted to 60 extracurricular coach teachers and subject teachers selected through the total sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire on three main variables: self-efficacy, teacher academic support, and student time management. Validity was tested through item total correlation, and reliability was tested with Cronbach’s Alpha. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 through multiple linear regression tests. The results showed that teacher self-efficacy had a significant effect on students’ time management ability, while teacher academic support did not show a significant effect, partially. However, simultaneously, both variables contributed 47.6% to time management. This finding emphasizes the importance of the teacher’s role in guiding students to manage time in a balanced manner between academic and extracurricular activities. Hopefully, this study can serve as a foundation for developing more responsive teaching strategies and teacher guidance, enabling students to manage their time effectively and achieve a balanced performance between academic and extracurricular activities, while also providing recommendations for schools to enhance professional development programs for teachers with a focus on time management guidance strategies

BackgroundWhile progressing towards universal health coverage, poor time management in the healthcare system had significant effect on an individual such as imbalance, job dissatisfaction, and work ineffectiveness and finally poor productivity of the organization will be resulted. Information about time management practice in the healthcare system is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess time management practice and associated factors among employees working in public health centers, Dabat District, Northwest Ethiopia.MethodsA facility-based cross-sectional mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) study was conducted in Dabat District from May 27 to June 22, 2022. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 413 study subjects and for the qualitative data, six key informants were selected. Self-administered questionnaire was used for the quantitative study, and an interview guide was employed for the qualitative study. Epi-data version 4.6 and SPSS 26 software were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Open Code 4.6 software was used for qualitative data analysis. Variables with p-value of < 0.05 in multivariable analysis were considered as significant associated factors.ResultsA total of 396 employees participated in the study with a response rate of 95.8%. The result showed that overall, 54.8% (95% CI: 49.5–59.6) of health employees had practiced good time management. The likelihood of good time management was higher among those health workers who had planning experience (AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.22–3.4), low procrastination habit (AOR = 1.65 95% CI: 1.04–2.65), satisfied with performance appraisal (AOR: 1.7, 95% CI: 1.05–2.81), and satisfied with organizational policy and strategy (AOR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.6–4.3). The qualitative result also showed that the existing performance appraisal practices were not linked to rewards or sanction planning.ConclusionThe overall time management practice of public health center employees was low compared with prior studies. Organizational policies, prior planning experience, procrastination, and performance appraisal were all significantly associated factors with time management practice. Therefore, health center managers need to set an intervention to address all of the following factors to enhance employees’ time management skills at public health centers like evidence-based performance appraisals, sharing organizational policies, and engaging in capacity building activities such as training in time management and planning.

Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent disorders within the child population today. Inattention problems can lead to greater difficulties in completing assignments, as well as problems with time management and prioritisation of tasks. This article presents an intelligent tele-therapy tool based on Serious Games for Health, aimed at the improvement of time management skills and the prioritisation of tasks. This tele-system is based on the use of decision trees within Django, a high-level Python Web framework. The technologies and techniques used were selected so as to boost user involvement and to enable the system to be easily customised. This article shows the preliminary results of the pilot-phase in an experiment performed to evaluate the use of adaptive tele-therapies within a group of typically developing children and adolescents aged between 12 and 19 years old without ADHD. To do so, we relied on the collection of parameters and the conduct of surveys for assessing time management skills, as well as measuring system usability and availability. The results of a time management survey highlighted that the users involved in the trial did not use any specific or effective time management techniques, scoring 1.98 and 2.30 out of 5 points in this area for ages under 15 and over 16 years old, respectively. The final calculations based on the usability questionnaire resulted in an average score of 78.75 out of 100. The creation of a customisable tool capable of working with different skills, in conjunction with the replication of the current study, may help to understand these users’ needs, as well as boosting time management skills among teenagers with and without ADHD.
