Introduction:<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Time management is the ability to plan and organize tasks effectively to achieve academic and personal goals. Students often struggle to balance studies, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments, leading to stress and decreased productivity. Challenges like meeting deadlines, avoiding procrastination, and managing workload can impact their overall performance. Developing strong time management skills helps students stay organized, reduce stress, and improve efficiency in their daily lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Objective:<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

To understand the underline phenomena of the problem difficulties in time management by the students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Literature Review:<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

1. The Relationship Between Time Management, Academic Performance, and Stress<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Rashid, et, al. (2020) states that time management and academic performance of students are co-related. Time management is an important indicator of academic performance. Better utilisation and management of time, better will be academic performance of the students. Also, when we look at time management and academic stress, there exists a negative relationship between them, better time management, lesser will be the academic stress. This is majorly due to proper planning of the available time on the basis of\u00a0the available resources and importance of the tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Fear of Failure and Poor Planning in Student Time Management<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Lovin and Bernardeau (2022) presents that students often lack the education to manage time, they are not able to make out from where they should start their work. This confusion is further deepened by the students’ fear for failure. With this fear, students panic and take the wrong decisions in terms of time management. The fear of failure is due to societal influence, peer pressure and expectations from the family. Students are of the view that thorough planning of tasks will help them manage their time efficiently. Students should focus more on planning and prioritising the tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Data Collection:<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

For the above problem we framed 5 questions on the Likert scale, and we approached 100 students of\u00a0Kohinoor Business School with the google form with the answers strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree, they were coded as 5,4,3,2,1, so that the hypothesised mean is 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

An analysis of survey data from 100 students, utilizing mean, standard deviation, standard error, and Z-scores, revealed that all Z-scores fell within the statistically neutral range (-1.96 to 1.96). This suggests that most of the respondents held neutral view on whether they face difficulties in Time Management.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

1. Most students remain neutral about whether their procrastination leads to delays in completing their tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Most students hold a neutral stance on the idea that they lack the motivation to complete tasks on time.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Most students neither agree nor disagree with the statement that they are unable to multitask effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Many students<\/span>\u00a0are<\/span>\u00a0neutral about the idea that their phones distract them and prevent efficient use of their time.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Most of the students have neutral perspective on the statement that they struggle to create flexible plans. <\/span><\/p>\n
