CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Many of the college students or working students in University of Perpetual Help

System does not even know how to manage their time wisely to accomplish their

responsibilities every day. This chapter shows the information that would provide the

background and analysis of the findings of the present study. We have collected some

articles came from the internet with foreign authors to present a clear concept of the

study.

According to Cyril (2015), Good time management skills stem from the issue of

prioritizing time effectively. In order to have good time management skills, students must

change their habits which can only happen if students take the first steps in identifying

their problems. Time management has an essential part towards the improvement of a

student’s academic performance and achievements (Nasrullah and Khan, 2015) each

student should have time management practices that comprises setting priorities and

goals. Time Management has also been characterized as a habit developed only though

determination, practice (Simson 1986), setting priorities, and scheduling tasks (Jordan et

al. 1989). Time is probably the most valuable assets available to people and

organizations. Understanding how to manage ones time can add success to personal lives.

However, of all the resources, time seem to the last understood and most mismanaged

Makenzie (1973, 1993). This purpose that the problem does not lie with actual hours
available. Rather the problem lies how well available time is utilized (Makenzie 1970,

1974).

Stated by Sansgiry et al. (2004), time management skills play a significant role in

achieving student’s academic performance. Study in other countries, like Malaysia,

Turkey, UAE, the U.S and others show that time management skills have a positive or

negative effect on student’s academic performance. Given that many, if not most students

need to work to afford collage, it is important for higher education researchers, policy

analysts, practitioners, faculty, and administrators to better understand their needs and

challenges for campuses-challenges for student persistence and degree completion (Tina

Tuttle 2005). One important reason why many students combine study and work is that it

provides them with an income, which may help them to satisfy their consumption

aspirations (Baert 2016). Today’s college students are less prepared for college-level

work than their predecessors. Once they get to collage, they tend to spend fewer hours

studying while spending more hours working, some even full time (C. A. Kelley 1999).
