The impact of time management on the academic success of university students

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between time management and learning outcomes, stress levels and differences between full-time and combined students. The validated Time Management Behavior Scale (TMBS) is used in this thesis. Through the TMBS, the effect on learning outcomes and stress levels of undergraduate students is examined. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 103 respondents from bachelor, master and doctoral degree programmes in the Czech Republic Three factors were derived from the exploratory factor analysis used in the study to explain time management practices. Five hierarchical regression models were created in all, but only one of them showed statistical significance. The results showed that effective time time management significantly reduced the level of stress experienced from lack of control over one's own time. While a direct correlation between time management and academic achievement could not be established, the paper's findings indicate that time management plays a significant role in giving students a greater sense of control over their time. With an emphasis on academic stress, the concept of control over time can be further investigated in the field of student mental health.
