| Abstract | Time is perhaps the most valuable resource required for any productive activity. Yet, little is known about how well Nigerian executives use their time. How they manage their time has implications for their personal effectiveness and therefore for the national economy. Using a sample of 373 respondents, this case study of a Nigerian University seeks to determine how academic and senior non-academic staff manage their time, how they rate their time management abilities and the extent to which they apply appropriate strategies and tactics recommended by time management consultants and experts. The results show that an overwhelming majority of our respondents rated themselves as good time managers. Yet, the study reveals that; most of them do not have enough time for themselves, their family activities, study, community affairs and recreation, they are usually not able to complete all the items on their daily activity lists by the end of the day, they are not able to find large blocks of time when they need them, they have not been able to get it done. In other words, their claim to good time management is false. The obvious implication is that there is need for training in time management for all executives covered in this study irrespective of sex, age, experience and profession. |
