      Purpose: Time demands faced by school principals make principals' work increasingly difficult. Research outside education suggests that effective time management skills may help principals meet job demands, reduce job stress, and improve their performance. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these hypotheses. Design/methodology/approach: The authors administered a time management inventory to nearly 300 principals in Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the fourth-largest school district in the USA. The authors analyzed scores on the inventory descriptively and used them to predict time-use data collected via in-person observations, a survey-based measure of job stress, and measures of perceived job effectiveness obtained from assistant principals and teachers in the school. Findings: Principals with better time management skills allocate more time in classrooms and to managing instruction in their schools but spend less time on interpersonal relationship-building. Perhaps as a result of this tradeoff, the authors find that associations between principal time management skills and subjective assessments of principal performance are mixed. The authors find strong evidence, however, that time management skills are associated with lower principal job stress. Practical implications: Findings suggest that building principals' time management capacities may be a worthwhile strategy for increasing time on high-priority tasks and reducing stress. Originality/value: This study is the first to empirically examine time management among school principals and link time management to key principal outcomes using large-scale data. Read less

      Time management is an essential tool to enhance quality care and reduce stress in nursing professionals, who face a uniquely high-paced work environment with wide-ranging job demands. We evaluated the effect of a time-management training program on time management and anxiety in nursing undergraduate students. Study results showed that the training program significantly improved nursing undergraduates' time management and significantly decreased self-reported anxiety among the students post-intervention. This study is the first to examine the effect of a time-management training program based on time management disposition theory in China among Chinese nursing undergraduate students. Read less

      Time management has helped people organize their professional lives for centuries. The existing literature, however, reveals mixed findings and lack of clarity as to whether, when, how, and why time management leads to critical outcomes such as well-being and job performance. Furthermore, insights relevant to time management are scattered across various disciplines, including sociology, psychology, and behavioral economics. We address both issues by synthesizing and integrating insightful elements from various fields and domains into three novel perspectives on time management. First, we draw on the sociology of time to describe two key concepts: time structures and time norms. We illustrate how time structures and time norms operate at the team, organizational, and national levels of analysis in influencing time management outcomes. Second, we draw on the psychology of time to show how individual differences including time-related beliefs, attitudes, and preferences affect the way people manage time and, consequently, time management outcomes. Third, we rely on the behavioral economics literature to describe how cognitive biases influence individual time management decisions. Integrating insights from a diverse set of fields results in a better understanding of past research and allows us to reinterpret conflicting results prevalent in the time management literature. Finally, we offer directions for future research and discuss implications for how organizations and individuals can implement interventions resulting in a stronger and positive relationship between time management and desirable outcomes.

      If you find an ebook in our online catalog, you may see a note that says something like, "Access is limited to one user at a time" in the book's description. Books with limited users allow only a certain number of users to view the ebook at the same time. Most of our limited-user ebooks allow either one or three simultaneous users. The limit will be noted in the book's catalog page and usually on the vendor's website as well. If a book is marked as having "unlimited users" or "unlimited access", then any number of users are allowed to access it at the same time. If a book does not have a user limit noted in its catalog page, this usually means that unlimited users are allowed. The vendor page will also note unlimited access. More about this "DRM" stands for "Digital Rights Management," a set of technologies that are used to limit and control access to ebooks. This might limit who can open a PDF of the e-book or limit the number of pages you can print or copy from an online ebook. Most of our ebooks from Ebsco and ProQuest have DRM with restrictions to emailing, printing, and copy/pasting of book contents. Many ProQuest ebooks offer DRM-protected PDFs that can be opened only by using Adobe Digital Editions software. Read less
