EFFECT OF TIME MANAGEMENT ON EMPLOYEES PERFORMANCE (A STUDY OF CHICKEN REPUBLIC DAWAKI)

---

Background of the study

The historical backdrop presents that time management began with industrial revolution (Cross & Jiya, 2020). The conception of time management has advanced gradually yet transitory from the classical conception of time management to the advanced conception of time management which helps to control over one’s life and perform tasks successfully. The subsequent improvement and the industrial revolution empower people to control nature for their advantage. Huge machines and industrial facilities knocked off the reliance on climate, the deployment of artificial lightening and innovation of electricity rendering the concept of day hours irrelevant (Hayat, 2022).

Until the mid-eighteenth century, farmers, artisans (seamstresses, carpenters) and anglers (fishermen) led simple lives and the output of their work relied on natural forces, for instance, the sun and the wind, with the sun and the moon determined time keeping. During that period, time management depended upon natural factors, for instance, atmosphere, tides and seasons. For example, holidays during stormy seasons, daylight determined working hours and productivity and job performance depended on the ups and downs of the growing season (Nyamka & Ndang, 2022).

In assistance of the historical backdrop of time management Enuoh & Alfred (2019) commented that in the nineteenth century, more attentions were accorded to the concept of time due to these reasons; according to Enuoh & Alfred (2019), first of all, the advancement in the industrial revolution progressed to an industrial trade base from an agricultural economy and this led to the necessity to manage time effectively as timely trading of goods was the only key to the path of success in the new world. Moreover, passage of communication, improvement of postal services and the subsequent spread of railroads all required specific time keeping which raised the benefits of time management and its relationship to job performance and effectiveness (Hayat, 2022).

The credit for setting up the advantages of time management goes to Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson introduced a clock with a dial with three hands indicating seconds, minutes and hours to plan personal tasks ((Hayat, 2022). As per Nyamka & Ndang (2022) Benjamin Franklin's (1748) celebrated perspective of time included, "Time is Money"; "Time is the stuffs of which life is made". Inspirations from these leaders and their thought of elevation, the world has considered that promptness or timeliness signifies maturity and the child’s habit of wearing watch identifies the maturity of a child. Workers in the nineteenth century did not have flexible schedules and businessmen were comfortable in managing time. Aside three hours of their business duties, the rest of the day was spent on social commitments (Nyamka & Ndang, 2022).

In the twentieth century, history holds it that the management of time ran parallel to management science evolution (Cross & Jiya, 2020). Fredrick W. Taylor's scientific methodology included shop management, which focused on the standard of time management. He credited the reason for inefficiency and poor performance of his employees to the lack of incentives which made them work poorly. He paid workers for the completion of their goals or tasks as he established specific targets for the work. Modern time management approaches had been influenced by Taylor’s scientific management (Hayat, 2022).

According to Cross & Jiya (2020), the concept of time management is a dependent variable to every successful business in our world today. Time management is a reliable key to know that management decisions and actions taken by organizations are appropriate and aimed at increasing productivity level. Time management has developed with time to become an investment in organizations now; it optimizes resources for better use; Time management generates more gains or adds value (Nyamka & Ndang, 2022). According to Hayat (2022), time management is the tool that helps individuals to plan and benefit more from the use of time. Time management is a tool that began from the industrial revolution. Time management is a worry which is essential to job performance as it gears to optimize resources for the accomplishment of set tasks, objectives or priorities (Enuoh & Alfred, 2019).

The activities of a person’s task must be principal to the degree of self-control over time and that is both necessary and essential. Interruptions impose greater pressure on jobs that involve regular contact with others than works of solitary nature. Also newly employed workers and workers with newly assigned jobs would undoubtedly encounter the evil impacts of unpredictable events and conflicting priorities than anyone working in an already set up position, where consistency and routine are customary. The ability of employees to identify priorities in the jobs is a big worry to them (Enuoh & Alfred, 2019).

Effective time management is an exceptionally huge obstacle that is being looked at by supervisors around the globe today because of the quantity of obligations they need to perform in a confined measure of time (Enuoh & Alfred, 2019). Time is one of the most significant assets which workers, managers and the organization itself need to achieve the objectives, aims and targets that they have set for the organization (Nyamka & Ndang, 2022). There is a great deal of books, seminars and workshops that create the opportunity for organizations and individuals to learn time management concept to improve productivity and performance if only considered urgent and important (Cross & Jiya, 2020). Time management concept enables employees prioritize their tasks by considering its significance to the organization and discover time and extra assets which may be of need to complete the task within the timeframe.

1.2 Statement of the problem

Time is essential in every organization as long as organizations want to accomplish their aims and objectives. Satisfactorily accomplishing desired organization’s objectives represents an extraordinary danger to the organization (Hayat, 2022) one of the best aptitudes one can acquire is effective and powerful time management. In the event that time is not managed properly, it’s totally unthinkable the set goals at work and personal objectives can be accomplished. You may increase some ground (Nyamka & Ndang, 2022). Regardless, time management will be an uphill battle in the event that you don't spend as much time as is required truly. For individuals who waste the critical brief time period they have, they know very well how dangerous accomplishing even genuinely badly arranged targets can be. Sincerely, time is the best equalizer for the duration of regular daily existence (Nyamka & Ndang, 2022). Notwithstanding your personality, income, age, race, gender or religion, you have the same time as any other individual. Time is still the same, irrespective of your wealth (Enuoh & Alfred, 2019). It's not about how much time you have. It's about how effectively you manage your time. This has turned into a major stress for directors and CEOs who hope to accomplish set organizational objectives and tasks. In the corporate world, time is regarded as cash, and in this way, we see the entities that instill the habit of time management in their workers make them perform successfully (Hayat, 2022). Anyway a few organizations don't give much consideration to time management, consequently, influencing the work output of the workers in the organization which over the long haul influences the productivity of the organization and the nation. Against this backdrop, this study seeks to investigate the effect of time management on employees performance with precised reference to Chicken Republic Dawaki, FCT, Abuja.

Additionally, the researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work.
