Whereas performing goal directed activities with the purpose of using time efficiently defines time management as “behavior” (Aeon & Aguinis, 2017). It has also been association with low anxiety and greater academic achievement in students (Jenaabadi, Nastiezaie, & Jalalzaei, 2016). Time management has also been defined as a form of self-management with a clear emphasis on time in understanding what activities to do how to do them more efficiently in what time it should be done and when is the correct time to the particular activity (Savino, 2016). It has also been advised to start practicing time management from the early student life (Valle et al., 2016).
In this competitive era, for high performance, the organizations and directors emphasize on searching time management tools (Kumar & Aithal, 2019). Frederick Winslow Taylor gave the concept to use time management for analyzing time and motion studies of employees with aim to decrease time wasting and unproductive work (Savino, 2016). Throughout the history, there has been great emphasis on the effective and efficient management of time, which has also been considered the key to success (Pugh & Nathwani, 2017 Nasrullah & Khan, 2015). However, less than half of the students agreed that they manage their time. In conclusion, according to student’s perception, preplanning their studies had been beneficial for their academic performance. Around 71 (66.3%) students with 4.5 - 5 GPA agreed or strongly agreed to make to do list or calendar (p value 0.047). Here, 69.2% students with 4.5 - 5 GPA strongly agreed that they meet their deadline (p value = 0.005) and 36.7% students with 4 - 4.5 GPA strongly believed that their academic performance decreased due to mis planning (p value = 0.005). Whereas, 37.3% agreed or strongly agreed that they manage their time. Majority of the students i.e., 107 (75.4%) had GPA between 4.5 - 5 in 2020. For this study, 152 students were targeted among which 142 completed the questionnaire, making the response rate of 93.4%. It was conducted among students of diagnostic radiology technology department at King Abdul-Aziz University from Sep. This study had a cross-sectional survey-based study design. The aim of the study is to find the impact of time management on the academic performance of students among the diagnostic radiology technology students at KAU.
For students to better manage their curriculum and achieve learning objectives, time management behaviors or skills are argued to improve the positive academic output.
