CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Students, nowadays are having a rough time in managing the

things needed to do especially, priorities such as studies, work, family,

etc. It gets even more difficult when they have additional work to do.

This study applies to the lives of the working students who are having a

hard time in doing both their studies and job at the same time. In

developing countries where students have a lot of issues during

academic journey have a new story for the researcher to dig out much

more interesting results. Time management practices have an impact

on the results of students as empirical studies done by past

researchers. In spite of knowing about the impact of time on academic

achievement, this relationship is not given importance by the students.

At higher education level the study schedule must properly planned,

implemented and controlled for better results. This research is about

determining the relationship between the time management skills and

academic achievement of the students. Time management is very

important and it may actually affect individual's overall performance and

achievements. However, all of these are related by how individuals

manage their time to suit their daily living or to make it flow steadily with

their routines. Conducive settings and environment will surely promote

positive outcomes to the students, besides having good lectures given

by their teachers. Nevertheless, students' time management can be

considered as one of the aspects that can move a student to be a good

student. A good time management is vital for students to shine.

However, some of the students do not have good time management

skills that has negatively affect their life and their academic. There are

some disadvantages and advantages for being working student. Being

a student while holding a job they are often short on time and

commonly find themselves limited time to study, sleep, and maintain

healthy eating habits. They need to know how to manage their time.

Time for work, time for being employee, time for school and time for

being students. Humans are a funny bunch, and we often procrastinate

doing the things that really need to get done sooner than later; usually,

the tasks are less than thrilling, such as doing the reading for your most

boring class or tackling that research paper that accounts for a large

chunk of your grade. We think of all that we have to do to get from start

to finish and we may feel a bit overwhelmed; instead of taking on the

task in smaller chunks, we just do nothing. Then the anxiety builds as

we think about how we still have to do it and again, instead of starting,

we put it off again. Since students have a lot of things in mind, they

aren’t able to manage their time properly. But with the help of some tips

from different persons might help and also the research made by the

people who are interested in knowing how time management affects

the habit of the working students. However, time management plays a

vital role in improving student’s academic performance and

achievements. Each and every student should have time management

ability which includes setting goals and priorities, using time

management mechanism and being organized in using time. Here time

management is only possible through self-motivation; performance,

ability and motivation. The effectual utilizing of time and managing time

requires procedures and good quality planning behaviors. One can

make use of time effectively and competently by keeping time logs,

setting immediate and long- standing goals, prioritizing responsibilities,

constructing to-do lists and arrangement, and organize one’s

workspace, as studies of earlier period and plentiful how-to books

proposed. Time saving techniques and behaviors can be categorized

into numerous groups and be liable to contribute to a number of

fundamental qualities in general. Time management demands a key

shift in emphasis: concentrate on results, not on being busy. There are

a lot of cases with people who waste their lives in discolored doings

and attain very small since they are placing their labors into the

incorrect responsibilities or weakening to focus their activity

successfully, established that two priorities. Time management has a

significant impact on the lives of the students commonly for those who

are studying in the higher education institutions where there is no

existence of parent and teacher supervision. The main objective of the

current research is that to which extent time management practices

influences the academic achievement of the university students in

higher education institution of a developing country. Good time

management allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time,

which leads to more free time, which lets you take advantage of

learning opportunities, lowers your stress, and helps you focus, which

leads to more career success. Each benefit of time management

improves another aspect of your life. But for many, time management is

the weakness that holds back their career and causes chaos with their

daily life. Time management can be a compounding weakness because

it can be amplified with other issues. A major disadvantage of poor time

management is its effects on stress levels. It leads to dissatisfaction of

not having worked hard and wasted time. Furthermore, people with

inadequate time management skills can’t make sufficient time to spend

with family, friends, and studies.
