When time management is applied successfully, it can provide enough time to the person for both his/her work, social life and hobbies (Psikoloji-psikiyatri.com, 11.02.2009). On the other hand, time is very different from other sources. Because it cannot be bought, sold, hired, lent, borrowed, stored, multiplied, produced and changed. Expenditure is to be done only (Yilmaz and Aslan, 2002: 26). "The importance of time management is not only derived from working life, but also it is derived from the fact that it makes the whole life productive and effective. The managers who use time beter, should investigate how to be more useful to their own lives first and then to the concern with its employees" (Çitken, 1998:6).

By seeking answers to the questions like these, to determine whether there is difference in terms of level of participation to the variables relating to effective using of time and if there is difference, to determine the direction of the difference are composing the other targets of the research. The Material of The Research; 436 academic and 325 administrative staff who work at Düzce University compose the universe of this research that is carried out between November-2006 and February-2007. According to information received from the officials of Düzce University, as of January 2007, total of the academic and administrative staff at Düzce University is 761 people. The questions that were used at the study which was previously carried out by Kingir and made at five-star hotels, operating at The Aegean and The Mediterranean regions, have been exploited, while determining the survey questions (Kingir, 2007:180-183).
