Abstract:

This study explores the impacts of time management factors on the academic performance of students majoring in Business Administration at FPT University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Possessing effective time management skills may result in better educational achievement (Britton & Tesser, 1991). This could also be the case for college students; efficient time management is capable of helping them improve their academic performance, particularly their Grade Point Average (GPA).
This research is anticipated to provide a more analytical perspective on the function of time management factors in enhancing the educational success of undergraduates by employing the Mental Time Management Model (Britton & Glynn, 1989) to analyze data collected through online surveys; utilizing the time management questionnaire designed by Britton & Tesser (1991). Our findings indicate that FPTU HCMC students who practice time management tend to have higher GPA. Furthermore, a slightly positive correlation between Short-Range Planning, Long-Range Planning factors, and undergraduate students' academic performance is also discovered.
