Clipart Clock Time Management, HD Png Download - kindpng

The term time management became familiar in the 1950s and 1960s as referring to a tool to help managers make better use of available time. The tool was based on practical experience, in the form of dos and don’ts. The term appears to indicate that time is managed, but actually, activities are managed over time. Time management is self-management with an explicit focus on time in deciding what to do; on how much time to allocate to activities; on how activities can be done more efficiently; and on when the time is right for particular activities. Much of the advice on time management concerns the standardization and routinization of activities to increase efficiency. The time gained with this increased efficiency can be used for other activities, deliberately chosen as worthwhile, rather than activities that serve only as a means to achieve less worthwhile goals, so-called time wasters. In other words, time is gained for activities that deserve it, and full concentration can be devoted to these activities for a longer period.

These moderating variables could be factor related to the nature of the task, other people around the person and the organization. Take the example of the conscientious factor, which has the strongest predictive link to performance among all Big five factors. If a person has a high score on conscientiousness, but has low skills, then the performance is negatively influenced. Further, a highly conscientious person with very high striving for achievement, is likely to be overcommitted to the decision even when early signs of a likely failure appear. When this happens, rather than quitting with minimum loss, over committed persons continue and face greater loss. This phenomenon is known as Escalation of commitment.
