Bakgrund: Kreativitet har fått en viktig roll i hur företag väljer att styra sina verksamheter. Under de senaste decennierna har insikten av tidens betydelse fått en central roll då arbetsbördan ökat och det ställts ökade krav på tempo och punktlighet. I tidigare studier har forskare funnit att tidsplanering kan ha positiv inverkan på individuell kreativitet. Insikten om att kreativitet och tidsplanering visat sig kunna relateras till varandra bidrog till vårt intresse att vidare studera relationen mellan dessa två koncept bland individer som är verksamma inom en kreativ branch. Studien ämnar att undersöka relationen mellan kreativitet och time management hos kreatörer på svenska reklambyråer. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka samband som finns mellan koncepten kreativitet och time management. Vidare syftar studien att undersöka hur kreativa individer inom reklambranschen förhåller sig till planering på kort- respektive lång sikt och hur planering skiljer sig åt mellan kreativa individer. Metod: Data har insamlats via en enkätundersökning som sedan analyserats genom faktor- och kluseranalys. Antal respondenter i studien uppgick till åttionio kreatörer som representeras av en grupp art directors, copy writers och creative directors verksamma inom den svenska reklamindusrin. Resultat & slutsats: Resultatet från denna studie skiljer sig från vad tidigare forskning kommit fram till genom att inget direkt samband kunnat etableras mellan kreativitet och time management. Resultatet kan förklaras av den kreativa population denna studie riktats till. Faktoranalysen visar att planeringen skiljer sig åt mellan olika kreatörer. Planeringstekniker på kort- och lång sikt kan komplettera varandra där planeringen följer ett tydligt mönster. Faktoranalysen visar även att vissa personlighetsdrag, som utifrån teorin beskriver en kreativ individ, har ett samband med självskattad kreativitet. Vidare gjordes en klusteranalys som visar att planeringsteknikerna används i begränsad utsträckning av kreatörerna. Analysen visar dock att planeringen skiljer sig mellan vissa specifika personlighetsdrag. 3 Förslag till vidare forskning: Då studien inte kunnat etablera något samband mellan kreativitet och time management finns det behov av att vidare studera varför denna studies resultat skiljer sig från tidigare forskning. Fortsatt forskning kan även undersöka vilken inverkan planering har på individuell kreativitet i olika yrkesgrupper. Uppsatsens bidrag: Bidraget med studien är en teoriutveckling mellan koncepten kreativitet och time management samt en ökad förståelse till relationen mellan koncepten.

The diploma thesis is concerned with internet applications used for time man-agement of executives. It focuses to executives' habits regarding to planning their time, particularly the functions of web applications, as the planning tool, requested by leaders. The questionnaire research among leaders and semis-structured inter-views with managers are utilized in order to accomplish this aim above. The aim of semi-structured interview is to get a manager's view on time management and identify the bar to accomplish the time management efficiency. The final part of the diploma thesis presents the convenient applications and recommendations for efficient time management based on captured data analysis.

M.Com. (Industrial Psychology) / It is in the interest of the modern organisation to have control over the physical passage of time. The passage of time impl ies change and it is often the way in which change is handled that determines the success or failure of the organisation. Although the manager has a wide variety of means at his disposal with which he can manipulate concrete physical time within his managerial functions, it is especially his ability to move psychologically in time, either to the past or to the future, that enables him to control the passage of time. The manager's ability to orientate himself towards should, therefore, play an important part in the successful execution of his managerial functions. The importance of time orientation in management is not only self evident, but time orientation itself is increasingly receiving attention as a fundamental determinant of human behavior...

Do school principals use basic time-management practices as recommended in the literature, that are designed to help them focus on important tasks? Or do they allow the unrelenting pace of the job to dictate how they use their time? A systematic random sample of 400 United States principals representing the 27,000 members of the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) participated in this research project. Relationships between the frequency of use of the six categories of time- management practices (TMP)(contact practices, delegation practices, practices for managing meetings, interruptions, and establishing priorities) and eight (8) independent variables were examined. The independent variables were the principals' work- management styles, their degree of flexibility in using these five work-management styles, the complexity of their schools, their school types (public vs. private), their school levels (elementary vs. middle), their years of experience, gender, and the amount of training in time management they received. The principals with schools that housed some combination of grades PreK - 12, and who were members of NAESP were sent a 61-item survey. The overall analysis was a series of multiple regression equations with the dependent variables being the frequency of use of six categories of time-management practices and their total time-management practice (TMP) score. Training accounted for 4% of the variance in the total TMP scores and was the only independent variable that predicted the frequency of use of the six categories of time management. In the descriptive data, it was found that principals were more likely to use the Hopper Style (61.5%) of managing work than the other four work-management styles [Allergic to Details (20%), Perfectionist Plus (12.5%), Cliff Hangers (3%), and Fence Sitters (2.3%)] due to the nature of the job of being a principal. Flexibility was required in using all five work-management styles. Previous studies (Campbell & Williamson, 1991; Huffstutter & Smith, 1989; Hughes, 1989; Kmetz & Willower, 1991; Weldy, 1974), and this study support the need for principals to use those time-management practices that would reduce time wasters and help them have time to spend on important tasks. Principals used basic time-management practices for managing meetings (M=3.94, SD= .54), establishing priorities (M=3.92, SD= .81), and delegating (M=3.71, SD= .68). However, they continue to need training in some aspects of handling interruptions (M=3.19, SD= .63), scheduling contacts (M=3.08, SD=.61), and managing paperwork (M=3.05, SD=.57). / Ed. D.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master Of Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies at the University of Zululand, 2018 / A secondary school has been declared dysfunctional based on the poor matriculation results they have produced over a number of years. This has resulted in teachers’ negative attitude towards the school activities, thus creating management challenges for the school management team. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of time management behaviour among teachers and learners on learning and teaching environment. This case study intended to achieve three objectives, which are to identify time management practices among teachers and learners having impact on learning and teaching; to establish the effect of time management on learning and teaching as well as to suggest strategies that may have positive impact on time management behaviour among teachers and learners. To achieve the objectives of the study, I used qualitative research design collecting data through interviews and observation. I used purposive sampling to select participants for this study. Data analysis was done through ATLAS.ti, which coded data into themes and subthemes. Result of this study showed that learners and teachers were found to have poor time management behaviour which had a negative influence on the quality of teaching and learning. / National Research Foundation Of South Africa (Grant Number: CPT160513164973 and 105246)
