The aim of this diploma thesis was to assess the use of manager´s time and to suggest changes that would lead to make their work more efficient. It focuses on managers working in the public sphere. Following offices were chosen to take part in the research: Revenue Authority for South Bohemian Region - Territorial Departement in České Budějovice and Regional Authority of South Bohemian Region. The main topic of this work is time management which is extremely important nowadays. Twenty managers were asked to take part in the research, ten from each office. Questionnaire survey was the basic tool used to collect information about their time management. They were also interviewed afterwards to specify some information from the questionnaires more deeply. It was discovered that most of the respondents have no experience with the time management in general. The lack of such experience brings many problems of course and the managers fight with the difficulties of time planning very often. On the basis of those facts, some changes were proposed, that could lead to more efficient work.

M.Ed. (Educational Psychology) / Through observing my grade eight learners I noticed that most of them found the transition from primary to high school difficult as they appeared to struggle to manage their time effectively towards completing and submitting quality class assignments. Houck is one of many researchers to present setting and attaining personal and academic goals as a positive coping method in high-stress situations. The purpose of this inquiry was to analyse and understand how grade eight learners' organize their conversation and what they converse about on their experiences in utilizing goal-setting strategies towards better time-management and self determination in completing a class assignment. This inquiry utilized an ethnomethodological Design whereby both Content Analysis and Conversation Analysis were my mode of analysis. Through the qualitative Content Analysis I was able to identify ten categories or themes that explained the experiences these grade eight learners had in utilizing goal-setting strategies towards better time management and self-determination in completing a class assignment. The Conversation Analysis of the video recorded conversation of a small group of six grade eight learners was analysed on four levels. On the experience of completing an assignment utilizing goal-setting strategies the inquiry found that, the participants demonstrated an understanding of the benefits of goal-setting (planning, prioritizing and meeting deadlines) within the school learning context. As expected, goal-setting has made a positive difference in the attitude of these participants towards themselves, their abilities and their school work. Additionally, through this conversation participant voices and perspectives were honored as they refined ideas and judged whether there was anything of merit offered by their fellow participants. It is recommended that teachers and therapists working with grade eight learners converse with learners within the classroom on how to approach their different learning areas' workload utilizing goal-setting strategies in order to achieve the learning outcomes successfully.

M.Comm. (Industrial Psychology) / There is ample evidence to suggest that optimal experience (flow), happiness and life satisfaction are related to one another in the creative culinary training environment. In this study, the effect of time management behaviour on these relationships was investigated within the hospitality training environment. Furthermore, the mediating role of perceived control of time on flow was explored, as well as the direct effect of happiness and life satisfaction on flow, among the different demographic groups. A quantitative research design was used and data were gathered with the use of an online questionnaire (cross-sectional survey). The sample consisted of n=229 students within the culinary training environment, in a tertiary institution spanning across different gender, age, racial groups and educational levels. Significant results were found for mechanics of time management that mediated fully through the perceived control of time on flow; goals and priorities mediated partially through the perceived control of time on flow. Happiness, however, had a direct link on flow. The practical implications of this study are that time management behaviour training should become more prominent in the culinary studies practical training for hospitality students. Successful time management behaviour skills may be beneficial in increasing the flow, happiness and life satisfaction outcomes of the students. This research further contributes to the body of knowledge of positive psychology, particularly within a South African vocational training context.
