Effects of Time Management on Male Students’ Academic Achievement

Abstract

Time management plays a key role in a person's success. Relevant literature established that a relationship exists between time management and the academic achievement of students. The study focused on the undergraduate level. The study aimed to understand students' awareness of time management and whether they have prepared a weekly schedule for their activities. Moreover, it also aimed to look at whether time management has any impact on students’ academic achievement. The study considered all public sector universities as a population. Four sample universities were conveniently selected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The study used a random sampling technique to select students from universities, calculated their time management using the Britton and Tesser scale, and collected semester results.The collected data was tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted in light of the study objectives. Data were analyzed through Chi-Square and Continuity Co-relation. It was found that a strong relationship exists between time management and academic achievement, and the p-value was less than 0.05. The study found that a good time management score is directly linked to a higher academic score. It was recommended that university teachers provide proper guidance to students to maximize their time in order to achieve their academic targets.
