TIME MANAGEMENT COMPETENCY OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: INFLUENCE OF DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES

The study aimed to examine the time management competency of undergraduate students based on their academic stream, gender, and place of residency. The study used a descriptive survey research method, and 160 undergraduate students were selected as samples using a stratified purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the standardized time management competency scale. Descriptive statistics and Three-way ANOVA were used to analyse data. The study found that place of residency and gender significantly influence students' time management competency, showing notable differences between hosteller and day scholar residency backgrounds and between male and female students. However, no significant differences were found between arts and science stream students, and there were no significant interaction effects of academic stream, place of residency, and gender on time management competency of undergraduate students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0905/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
