Abstract

The present research investigated relationship between time management factors (time management competencies and time management environment) and job performance in non-teaching employees of public sector universities. It was hypothesized that (a) there is likely to be positive relationship of time management competencies and time management environment with job performance in non-teaching employees of public sector universities (b) time management competencies and time management environment are likely to predict job performance and (c) there are gender differences in time management factors and job performance in non-teaching employees of public sector universities. Correlational research design was used. The sample was composed of (N = 100) employees from University of Punjab, University of Education and Lahore College for Women University. Time Management Behavioral Scale (Macan, 1994), Time Management Environment Scale (Burt, 2003) and Job Performance Scale were used for assessment purposes. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, independent samples t-test and multiple regression analysis were carried out to analyze the data. Findings revealed significant positive relationship of time management competencies and environment with job performance. Results further showed that time management factors are not significant predictors of job performance. Results also showed non- significant gender differences in time management factors and job performance. On the basis of research findings, time management training programs are recommended to help employees improve their time management skills to improve their job performance. Further implications of the research along with limitation and suggestions are being discussed.
