TIME MANAGEMENT AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Time management is at the core of labor productivity in any sector of the economy. Labor productivity itself is considered most vital in
ensuring output growth as well as national development. In most countries, it is observed that labour contributes over 65% to GDP which
makes it an essential factor of production. (Beggs, Fisher and Dornbush 2000; Lipsey and Chrystal 2005). Premised on this consideration, it is important that efficiency
is factored into labor utilization which is the place of time management. The observation of most researchers is that labor can only be what it has been trained to be (Sorkin 1992). Hence it has been advanced that in the formative days
of labor, the essence of time management should be taught to students as well as ensuring that they inculcate the practices of time management. This brewing stage in most countries is the university stage. It is therefore pertinent that the practice of time management amongst Nigeria undergraduate students be evaluated. This is done using undergraduate students as case study
