Time Management Skills. Academic Achievements and Life Satisfaction. A Case Study at Bucharest University of Economic Studies

Time is one of the most valuable resources. A given period of time can be occupied with interesting or boring activities that generates different perceptions on it and affects individuals differently. As consequence, individuals have developed different time management skills. While some individuals demonstrate time management skills in a ‘natural’ manner, other have to develop these categories of skills. This paper is verifying the established correlations between time management skills and academic achievements, on one side, and life satisfaction, on the other side, in order to see and measure their relevance for young people by analysing time management skills demonstrated by students from Bucharest University of Economic Studies enrolled in bachelor programs. We are presenting the research we have conducted on 150 students from schools of economics, business and public administration, our findings and recommendations for effective development of time management skills to students.
