Abstract
The present study tackles the topic of « time management » as one of the
important issues in organizations through determining to what extent workers at
the Port Company in Skikda make use of the different elements and dimensions
of time management. The study is, therefore, divided into two main parts:
The theoretical part: which surveys different contributions, perspectives
and existing theories which sought to understand the phenomena related to
organization. The focus is on the works of scholars of sociology, psychology
and management, and their views which contributed to the development of this
variable from a merely abstract concept to one of the main concepts within
organization. The fact is that many of the main contributions originate in the
West and not in the Arab world.
This was carried out through analyzing a set of theories of organization
which dealt with this subject and which attracted wide attention from
intellectuals and researchers in different disciplines according to their different
conceptual frameworks.
Because of the role of the previous studies and empirical research works in
shaping the different parts of the present study, we ordered them according to a
particular methodology.
Field Work:
This part attempts to match the theoretical aspect of the study to its
practical part through investigating the status of time management in the
Algerian company shedding light on its principle dimensions: planning and
organizing time, controlling time wasters in the Port Company, skikda. Then
collecting data and classifying it in statistical tables and commenting, analyzing
and representing some of the findings graphically.
The field study was carried out following the methodological approaches
and tools used in empirical research. The study took place in the Port Company
Skikda. Methodologically, the study employed the descriptive approach using a
stratified random sample making use of a set of data collecting tools , notably:
observation, interviews, and a questionnaire. This latter is divided into different
tracks according to the research hypotheses.
Objectives of the Study: The study seeks to achieve some theoretical and
field objectives.
The Theoretical Objectives:
-Ordering and organizing existing literature pertinent to time management.-Knowing the main elements and components of time management in light of
the literature written by various researchers in the fields of organization,
management and other disciplines.
-Understanding the methodological and epistemological basis of the main
theories and approaches related to time management in order to fix field
dimensions for its measurement.
-Attempting to put a virtual sample to explain the nature of the relationship
between the different dimensions and indices of time management in the modern
company.
Field Objectives:
In its practical part, the present study aims at:
-Diagnosing the reality of time management in the modern company.
-Knowing the main scientific methods adopted by the workers in planning work
time in modern companies
-Understanding the ways of organizing and distributing activities within the
work’s time framework.
-Knowing the different time wasters facing workers in modern company.
-Determining the different mechanisms employed by the workers to reduce
wasted time.
-Determining the structural and functional of the main concepts of the topic—
time management.
The Study’s Main Questions:
The study is based on one central question : What is the level of interest in time
management in the contemporary company ?
In order to tackle this question empirically , three procedural hypotheses were
developed:
- There is a good mastery of time planning methods among the workers in
modern company.
- There is a great dependence on the methods of time management among the
workers of the modern company.
- There is a high awareness among the human resources of the modern company
about the need to eliminate time wasters.
In order to investigate the role of socio-demographic variables in crystallizing
the manifestations of the time management variable, another hypothesis was
formulated:
- There are statistically-significant differences due to the demographic variables
as regard to the interest in time management among the workers of the modern
company.
Findings of the Study: This study comes out with the following
findings:
1. There is a high level of time planning among workers of the Port Company in
Skikda.
2. There is a great deal of reliance on the time-management mechanisms among
the workers at the Port Company ,Skikda.
3 - There is an average level of awareness among workers of the Port Company
in Skikda of the importance of avoiding time wasters.
4 - There are no statistically significant differences due to gender and age
variables at the time planning level as well as its organization among workers of
the Port Company in Skikda.
5 - There are differences of statistical significance attributed to the educational
level regarding time planning as well as in the level of time management among
the workers of the Port Company in Skikda.
6- There are no statistically significant differences due to the variable of civil
status at the level of time planning.
7 - There are differences of statistical significance due to the variable of the civil
status in the level of time management among the workers of the Port Company
in Skikda.
8 - There are no statistically significant differences due to the functional
variables (seniority at work, job position, place of residence) in the level of time
planning and organization among workers of the Port Company in Skikda,
except for differences of statistical significance due to the variable of place of
residence in the time management level.
9 - There are differences of statistical significance attributed to gender and age
variables at the level of avoidance of time wasters between the workers of the
Port Company in Skikda.
10- There are no statistically significant differences at the level of avoidance of
time wasters among workers of the port Company in Skikda dueto educational
level and civil status.
11. There are no statistically significant differences due to demographic
variables (seniority at work, job position) at the level of avoidance of time
wasters among workers of the port Company of Skikda.
12 - There are differences of statistical significance due to the variable of place
of residence at the level of avoiding time wasters between the workers of the
Port Company in Skikda.
Through these findings, the study presented a number of core issues upon
which further studies can draw, in terms of the degree of dependence onobjectives and priorities, knowledge of the content of tasks and activities,
time allocation, time wasters and the use of technological means to save
time, avoid unproductive activities. It is worth mentioning that the results of
this study remain relative and in need of a further research on the topic .
Hence, the general framework of the study is part of the knowledge
accumulation in the field of organization and management and the different
contexts within the contemporary Algerian company.
