The
concept of time management gained attention in the organization during the
industrial revolution. Over the years, time management has become an important
notion in the modern day's idea of effectiveness and efficiency. Effective time management is a crucial factor
in the productivity of the organization and its employees. This concept of time
management is further reinforced by the issue of ‘employee time management.' This
paper focuses on time management along with its effect on job performance.
Background information on the topic has been given in the paper and research
questions regarding it. Hypotheses have been formed and in order to analyze
whether they are accurate or not. In hypotheses, time management,
organizational commitment, and work engagement are the independent variables
while job performance is the dependent variable. Moving on, the methodology of
the research has been explained. This chapter describes the methodology used.
Specifically, it describes how the researcher will acquire information and data
from the literature and the study population. It also explains the research
design that the researcher will use and the methods that he intends to employ
during the entire process of collecting data, presenting it as well as its
analysis. The study’s primary data is the questionnaire which will be
administered to the 200 participants. The questionnaire will contain statements
where it will require participants to choose between five simple answer
options. For analyzing the data collected, SPSS (Statistical Package for the
Social Sciences) will be used and results will tell which hypotheses are
correct.

CHAPTER ONE about Time Management and its
Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
INTRODUCTION of Time Management and its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
As work productivity of employees has been increasing over the years in
response to high competition, the need to be more efficient, and bolstering a
strong workplace culture, organizations have been trying their best to create
the right environment that will intensify job performance. Predictably, such an
environment will also lead to organizational performance since highly-performing
employees are not only effective in their work (Richard, et al., 2009); they
also help the organization achieve its performance goals and objectives
(Hubbard, 2008). There are many factors that have a positive impact on job
performance. These include time management, organizational commitment, and work
engagement. These variables are important in job performance with time
management being the main variable among the three
(Njagi andMalel, 2012). As Nonis et al. (2011) argue, the relationship
between job performance and these three variables is critical as it will help
organizations to understand the kind of environment or culture, they need to
create so that their employees can work optimally or make their best
contribution through their work.
The concept of time management gained attention in the organization
during the industrial revolution. Over the years, time management has become an
important notion in the modern day's idea of effectiveness and efficiency (Vasilkov and Gushina, 2014). Today, this
concept has become one of the most essential skills for success in life (Abduljabbr et al, 2012). Yet people, including
businesses, have not fully appreciated the importance of time for success and
survival in life. Time is a critical resource in organizations and leadership
can affect how an organization utilizes this critical resource (Reunanen,
2015). According to Oke (2016), the most
important role of any management action is to ensure that all resources are utilized
in a way that generates the greatest value or optimal returns. Businesses and
individuals often struggle in their attempt to manage time due to the fact that
they do not treat it as a resource (Ahmad et al., 2012). Yet, time remains a
myth or a mystery in the sense that no one can create it or store it. Time can
also not be stored so that one can use it in the future. It is, therefore, a
particularly elusive resource which demonstrates the importance of effectively
managing it (Reunanen, 2015). As Spetzler et al
(2016) argue, a delay in decision making or in addressing an important
issue in the day-to-day running of a company can lead to costly consequences.
Additionally, good time management ensures that the organization is more
creative and productive. Time management also helps organizations save money
besides eliminating the need for employees to overwork or spend many hours in
the job. Proper time management also increases the likelihood of success for an
organization.
Organizational commitment is a factor that affects job performance since
the former represents the level at which employee associates with the
organization. Therefore, organizational commitment is directly related to job
satisfaction, a factor that helps employees perform at the highest level (Aydin
et al., 2013). Indeed, factors of job satisfaction can either inhibit
performance or enhance it. Therefore, an organization needs to have well
defined and tested operations, processes, and structures, and to ensure that
they are consistently enforced as a way of ensuring the success of performance
management strategies. The idea is to create job conditions that will make an
employee feel more attached to the organization. Besides operations, processes,
and structures, other areas that affect organizational commitment include
leadership, decision making and culture (Colquitt
et al., 2011). According to Wang et al. (2014), providing this kind of
leadership positively affects job performance. Decision making is an element of
organizational commitment. Indeed, issues such as the quality of decisions, the
number of people involved in the decision-making process, and the amount of
time it takes to make decisions influences the level of job satisfaction and
job performance.
Work engagement is an approach where the workforce feels particularly
attached to its work and is motivated to help their teams, departments or
organizations at large to succeed (Bakker et
al., 2011). Therefore, such employees are keen to work hard at every
opportunity for the success of their employer. This variable is thus a
work-related state that is associated with factors such as vigor, absorption,
and dedication (Demerouti et al., 2010).
According to Demerouti, Cropanzano, and Leiter (2010), work engagement has a
positive effect on both employees and organization since engaged employees tend
to demonstrate good job performance. Indeed, this better performance among such
employees is occasioned by positive emotions such as enthusiasm, joy, and
happiness. AsMarkos and Sridevi, (2010) argue,
engaged employees tend to exhibit positive emotions. Such employees are more
likely to capitalize on opportunities at work; they are also more outgoing and
are keen to help others (Shuck and Wollard, 2010). Additionally, they are also
more optimistic and confident. Therefore, the two variables (Work engagement
and job performance) are positively related. When one of them increases, the
other will correspondingly increase.
From the aforesaid, this research will focus on time management,
organizational commitment, and work engagement, and their effects on employee
performance using Oil and Gas Company as the case study. Focusing on a Saudi
Arabian company was deliberate because most studies on time management in
organizations tend to focus more on the Western world, yet this concept is a
global phenomenon.
1.1
Background of the study of Time Management and its Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas
sector
Organizations are increasingly faced with intense competition, radical,
unprecedented changes in their business environment. Competition and these
changes, which are often seen as destabilizing forces, pose incredible
difficulties to organizations. Some organizations are more successful than
others based on how well they address the need to remain competitive and manage
these changes (Richard et al., 2009). Therefore, internal efficiency is
fundamental in helping a company acquire a competitive edge and gain the
ability to navigate changes in the external environment. At the foundation of
managing competition and changes in the business environment is the issue of
job performance (Hubbard, 2009). Indeed, job performance plays an important
role in the growth of an organization and the extent to which the organization
is responsive to changes. Despite its importance in the survival of an
organization, job performance is not stable (Richard et al., 2009). In other
words, this variable is subjected to fluctuations over time due to a number of
factors. It is, thus, important to explore the factors that influence job
performance so as to understand how an organization can achieve economic
success and boost its reputation. Since job performance is a fundamental factor
in organizations, Ahmed (2012) asserts, that it is important for organizations
to focus on how to ensure that their employees perform optimally. According to Jankingthong and Rurkkhum (2012), there are
many factors that affect job performance. These factors include time
management, organizational commitment, and work engagement. Of these three
factors, time management has the most profound effect on job performance (Jankingthong & Rurkkhum, 2012). As noted, time is a
precious resource for in society and business. Indeed, compared to other
resources such as capital and labor, time is more important (Reunanen, 2015; Abduljabbr et al, 2012). Yet,
some organizations fail to comprehend this very fact or the relationship
between time and how employees perform. Time management is the foundation of
many job performance elements. These include employee productivity,
simplification of tasks, effective performance of tasks, attainment of all the
necessary tasks and the realization of organizational goals (Omar et al, 2017).
A study on the connection between time management and job performance is
critical since the level to which an organization is efficient largely depends
on prudent utilization and management of time. Additionally, it will also be
important to briefly explore other factors that equally affect job performance.
For the sake of this study, organizational commitment and work engagement have
been identified as other factors whose influence on job performance is of
interest to the researcher.
1.2
Research problem
of Time Management and its Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Throughout the years, the time has emerged as the foundation of
organizational success in all types of organizations. Indeed, many businesses
today understand that time management can foster more productive outcomes not
just in monetarily, but also in nonmonetary terms (Reunanen, 2015). Effective
time management is thus a crucial factor for the productivity of the organization
and its employees. This concept of time management is further reinforced by the
issue of ‘employee time management.’ Employee time management is centered on
the expectation that employees need or are expected to prudently manage their
time in terms of their punctuality and while at work (DeKosky et al, 2018). Notwithstanding the importance of time
management in the professional world, as has already been highlighted, Oil and
Gas Company has often struggled in its time management initiatives. The company
has witnessed various challenges related to inefficient time management and job
performance. These challenges, as will be further expounded, include:
·
The
issue of self-discipline, a factor that has a huge influence on time
management, has not been emphasized
·
Technical
staffs who work on shifts have been finding it difficult to manage their time
in such a way that they will be able to promptly respond to customer queries.
·
Disruptions
such as unnecessary visits from outsiders and idle talk activities by the
staffs are also affecting productivity and the ability to meet deadlines in
various tasks
·
Inexistence
of time management training negatively affects time management skills
·
Lack
of proper organizational restructuring something that affects efficiency.
·
Lack
of work engagement to drive organizational commitment
·
Lack
of focus on work engagement of employees to achieve efficient job performance

1.5 Scope of Study of Time Management and its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas s
Time management is very
important for efficient and success of an organization. Although time
management courses and books often seem to focus on business partnerships and
pioneers, it is quite significant for factory workers, experts, job holders,
and even educators. Indeed, time management is most significant for both
companies and individuals carrying their business out in an effective way. Overseeing
the home and work obligation under the very same rooftop takes a unique type of
time management and administration. It can be said that an imperative part of
the management of time is effective planning for the time to come. Every once
in a while, effective management of time includes investing efforts at the
start while keeping the end goal in mind for revamping the company. The
efficiency of organizations is reliant on the sustainability of utilization of
time which is the requirement of many incumbents. Time administration is an
issue which is principal to the work efficiency.
This study is focusing on the
effect of time management and job performance. In order to explain time
management effectively, background study has been explained by studying
previous studies on the same topic. Furthermore, in this study, various
problems have been identified. For instance, it has determined the problem of
self-discipline, a factor that seems to affect time management greatly hasn't
been stressed upon even a little. There are disruptions that normally occur are
causing the productivity to decrease and hinder the ability of employees to
meet the deadline. There is also a lack of attention on work engagement that
seems to play a significant role in driving organizational commitment. This
study will be finding solutions to these problems and will help researchers to
realize how these issues can be resolved. In this study, the relationship among
time management and job performance, organizational commitment, and job
performance, and work engagement and job performance. It will also determine
whether job performance is even affected by these factors or not. This study
will be foundational research for further researches and help in identifying
the underlying factors that affect organizational commitment. Considering the
fact that Oil and Gas Company is facing the issue of inefficient job
performance, this study will explore if better management of time can increase
job performance or not. It will also determine whether organizational
commitment and work engagement can enhance job performance or not. Therefore,
this study will provide potential solutions to the Oil and Gas Company into how
they can deal with the challenges that they are facing (Colquitt, Lepine, Wesson, & Gellatly, 2011).
1.6 Significance of the Study of Time Management and its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Theoretical Significance of Time Management and its
Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Time management is a crucial
aspect of organizational success and this paper is focusing on the management
of time and its effect on the performance of the job. Actually, this study will
clarify the existing meaning and description of the management of time and its
importance in organizations. It will help researchers in understanding the
relationship between organizational commitment and work engagement as well.
Both of these are significant in driving organizational performance. This paper
is focusing on various other underlying factors that affect job performance and
it will help the researchers in obtaining vital information about them without
studying other sources. Operational variables have also been explained in this
paper and what it really means to use operational variables. In order to
further strengthen the concepts which have been used in this paper, a
literature review has been conducted both time management and the principles of
time management.
Practical Significance of Time Management and its Impact
on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The concept of time management gained attention in
organizations during the industrial revolution. Over the years, time management
has become an important notion in the modern day’s idea of effectiveness and
efficiency. Effective time management is a
crucial factor in the productivity of an organization and its employees. This
paper can bring attention to not only researchers but also businessmen to
benefits of time management. Using this paper, they can implement a system that
puts emphasis on effective management of time which allows them to gain an
upper hand in the market to achieve better performance from workers. Besides
the implementation of a system that values time management, researchers can use
the approach that has been adopted by this paper for conducting the research.
They can also form questionnaires to gain the answers that they need. In
addition to realizing the importance of time management, business management
can also identify other elements that contribute to organizational success and
concentrate on them better.
1.7 Definition of Variables of Time Management and its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The operational definition of variables refers to the specific way in
which a researcher measures a variable in for the study. Specifying the context
of a variable under study is critical since different studies measure the same
variables differently.
· Time management: For the sake of this study, time
management refers to the organization of events or tasks by first making an
estimation of the amount of time that it will take to complete a task and when
it needs to be completed (Ojo and Olaniyan, 2008). It also involves adjusting
or eliminating events that could potentially interfere with the completion of
such a task.
·
Organizational commitment: According to Aydin et al. (2013)
this variable refers to the desire of an employee to be loyal and commit to an
organization. Such employees (who are committed or devoted to their
organization) tend to be work harder than those who lack this kind of devotion
to their employers.
Work engagement: This variable refers to the active,
positive work-related state which is characterized by dedication, vigor, and
absorption (Yongxing et al, 2017). Dedication, in this case, refers to string
involvement in one's work; it is also characterized by a sense of enthusiasm
and significance. On its part, vigor is the high level of energy and resilience
that one employs at work. Absorption means being fully concentrated and
preoccupied with one's work.
Job performance: This variable refers to the
work-related activities expected of an employee and the extent to which the
employee executes these activities. The specific component that will be
measured is the behavioral engagement of employees and the expected outcomes.
The behavior, in this case, refers to the action that people take to accomplish
certain work while the outcome refers to the consequences of an employee's
behavior (Yuan and Woodman, 2010). For instance, the lack of time discipline
affects team performance.
CHAPTER TWO
Literature Review of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The following chapter will provide a summary of the literature and
theories related to this topic. The chapter includes discussion on time
management, the categories of time management, job performance and the link
between time management and job performance. In addition, the chapter will
include a brief discussion on two other factors that influence job performance.
These are organizational commitment and work engagement. The chapter will then introduce and justify
the study's conceptual model.
2.1 Time Management in
the Oil and Gas sector
Before venturing into the definition of time management, it is important
to understand the meaning of ‘time’. Time is a critical resource for every
organization (Abduljabbr, et al, 2012).
The attainment of goals and objectives of an organization is hinged on the
utilization of time. In other words, the success of any organization depends on
how best it uses its time. Yet, time remains a myth or a mystery in the sense
that no one can create it or store it. Time can only be spent and once used,
whether that use is proper or improper, it cannot be regained. Besides being
precious, irrecoverable, another element of time is that it is limited. Time is
indeed limited because a day is made up of 24 hours and in many occasions,
office or working time runs for approximately 10 hours. Time management, as
Ahmad, et al, (2012) argues, is the organization or arrangement of events or
tasks, which need to be conducted in one day or over a specific period of time,
by first making an estimation of the amount of time that each task will take to
be fully complete. After making an estimation of the time that each event will
take, the next step of time management involves deciding the specific time that
an event or task will need to be completed. The third step of time management
is the adjustment of events that could potentially affect the completion of
such a task. Fulfilling these processes will ensure that a task or event is
completed within the appropriate time.
Time management is much a process of doing more within a day as it is
about prioritizing on the most important events or tasks. Therefore, time
management is about deciding what is more important in one’s daily, weekly or
monthly activities (Eruteyan, 2008). Since time is limited, it is impossible to
have all events or tasks happening at the same time. Therefore, the need for
prioritizing needs to be emphasized as one of the most important aspects of
time management. To be an effective or successful time manager, it is
imperative for one to conduct a time survey of one's activities to gain an
understanding of how time is being spent. Additionally, as Hafner and Stock
(2010) assert, time management is a collection of principles, skills, systems,
and tools that helps individual or organization to properly utilize their time
in a way that will accomplish their objectives.
Often, many people tend to learn time management as a
matter of necessity. For example, a student will learn how to manage his or her
time properly so as to submit an assignment before the deadline to avoid being
penalized. The
main challenge to learning a skill through necessity is that many people do not
internalize what they have learned. In addition, such kind of learning is often
affected by bad habits which mean that even if a skill is important and useful,
the person will not use it optimally. Indeed, a student learns how to manage
their time because of an upcoming project, there is no guarantee that the
learner will use this skill appropriately in another context. Moreover, such a
student may get distracted by bad habits that will prevent him or her from
achieving submitting the assignment on time. To appreciate the skill of time management,
it is important to view it as something that takes time to develop and perfect.
Further, this skill is unique to different people. Overall, time management
involves the development of tools, systems, and processes that serve to
increase productivity and efficiency.
According to Njagi and Malel (2012), to perform at high levels,
organizations must emphasize on effective time management. One of the most
important benefits of practicing effective time management is that it besides
positively affecting productivity or job performance, it also helps employees
in coping with conflict, workload, stress, and pressure in a more efficient
fashion. In addition, effective time management also helps employees to achieve
a healthy work-life balance (Njagi & Malel, 2012). Therefore, Nadinloyi, et al, (2013) suggests that time
management training should be at the very foundation of workforce development
since it is one of the tools that significantly bolsters the team’s
productivity. The purpose of time management training is that it provides
employees or participants with management practices as well as planning systems
to help them in gaining more control over their own time. Additionally, it
helps them have greater control over their individual and collective
performance. Time remains the most important asset in business. Indeed,
compared to other resources such as capital and labor, time is more important (Reunanen, 2015; Abduljabbr, et al, 2012). Yet,
some organizations fail to comprehend this very fact or the relationship
between time and how employees perform. Time management is the foundation of
many job performance elements. These include employee productivity,
simplification of tasks, effective performance of tasks, attainment of all the
necessary tasks and the realization of organizational goals (Omar, et al,
2017). To succeed in the utilization of time, it is important for employees and
managers to not just prioritize activities and tasks, but also eliminate any distractions
or unnecessary processes or elements.
Being an effective time manager is not something that a person can
activate and deactivate when it suits them. But rather, it is a set of skills
and practices that a person internalizes and practices throughout his entire
personal and professional life. Time management largely involves two
fundamental components. These are practice and purpose (Owen, 2014). Practice
centers on what one does with his or her minutes and hours in a day (Owen,
2014). On the other hand, purpose, in reference to time management, refers to
the reason why one lives, or the purpose of one’s life (Owen, 2014). In time
management, it is important to ensure that the minutes and hours in one’s day
align with this purpose of life. Failure to align the two can lead to a bad
chain reaction. Aligning practice and purpose is the key to accomplishing tasks
in an effective manner; it also helps an individual or organization to reach
their goals quickly.
2.1.1 Time Management Principles in the Oil and Gas sector
There are various factors that affect time management. For the purpose
of this discussion, the principles/factors that will be discussed are time
planning, organization and responsibility, and accountability.
2.1.1.1 Planning of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Planning, as an element of time management, is the identification of
goals that an individual or organization wants to achieve (Rapp et al, (2013).
Besides the identification of these goals, it is imperative to equally define
the practical ways of achieving these goals. An organization can utilize the
most ideal plan for a certain objective. Examples of these plans include
strategic plan, short-term plan, and intermediate plan. When planning, it is important
to be specific about the goals and make them more attainable. Importantly also,
the organization needs to set the time targets for achieving those goals. Time
planning remains a key ingredient of organizational performance. This is
because planning to achieve certain objectives through the use of various tools
or processes and within a specific time spurs high motivation among employees.
2.1.1.2 Organization of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
One of the qualities of time is the fact that it is limited. Time can be
defined as a diabolic triangle that has three poles. These poles are quality,
objective and duration (Omar, et al, 2017). To improve the quality of a product
or service, more time is needed. To increase the number of services needed,
quality may be negatively affected; it could also mean that there will be
insufficient time to accomplish all that. Since time is a limited resource,
there is always pressure on quality and quantity in production. Organization is
thus important since it helps to utilize the resources in achieving
organizational goals.
2.1.1.3 Responsibility and
Accountability
of Time Management and Its Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Responsibility and accountability are the hallmarks of modern management (Bergsteiner and Avery, 2010). Yet it is
common practice today to see people refusing to take responsibility for their
decisions in the workplace; some even blame others for such failures. In his
wisdom, Winston Churchill asserted that ‘the price of greatness is greatness.'
Additionally, having a goal is a capital thing; it is a different thing to
achieve that goal. It is important for employees to account for their results
after a stipulated period of time or after participating in a task or event.
The idea of accounting for one's results also involves demonstrating how the
person or group used their time.
2.1.2.1 Clarity of
Intention (First Dimension of Time Management)
Having precise goals in the very first
dimension of time management. Clear intentions need both an understanding of
every outcome that must be achieved and how an organization will be
contributing to the outcome. Best goals are actually directed at what is
occurring at present. For instance, reaching a new target of winning a few new
consumers is a goal aimed at the present.
2.1.2.2 Focus on
Effectiveness (Second Dimension of Time Management)
A clear focus is all about engaging
in the processes that significant in achieving the outcome while decreasing the
unimportant. The focus has to be wide enough that is able to address both the
relationships and activities necessary for the success. Although the objective
of an organization is to satiate its consumers, focus on has to be on the
delivery of services and products that are pleasing to the consumers. Whether
it is just a relationship with consumers, a personal relationship, or a boss,
once the focus is surrendered, the effectiveness is actually lost. It is also
important that the amount of courage needed for the maintenance of confidence
in the integrity and mission in relationships of the organization shouldn’t be
underestimated.
2.1.2.3 Desire for
Improvement (Third Dimension of Time Management)
Measurement is actually the basis for
improvement. Metrics are included in effective management for every significant
activity that leads to an outcome instead of just measuring the end goal. It
can be said that a willingness for keeping an open mind and experimenting new
approaches is quite an important tool. In the age of the Internet, an
organization is bombarded with information and ideas. The strategy is to pay
very close attention and to determine the ideas that might be useful. An
organization should always be open to new ideas and approaches that can prove
to be beneficial to it and play a significant role in organizational success.
2.2 Organizational commitment and Work
engagement of
Time Management and Its Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Trofimov, BONDAR, TROFIMOVA, MILIUTINA, and
RIABCHYCH (2017) explain that
organizational commitment seems to take a significant role in employee turnover
and retention in the companies. The understanding of work engagement and its
connection with other factors can help in making the organizations stable and
decrease the turnover of employees. Work engagement is the positive and
fulfilling state of mind in terms of work that is characterized by absorption,
dedication, and vigor. Work commitment is closely related to organizational
commitment. When there is work engagement in an organization, employees also
exhibit organizational commitment. They tend to work for achieving the
objectives which have been set by an organization. They don’t indulge in other
activities and work hard for meeting the metrics which have been set by the
manager. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that work engagement is what drives
organizational commitment (Trofimov, BONDAR, TROFIMOVA,
MILIUTINA, & RIABCHYCH, 2017).
2.3 Organizational commitment and Job
Performance of
Time Management and Its Impact
According to Tolentino (2013), commitment
refers to the dedication of an individual to an organization, job, or a person.
Furthermore, it is reflected in the intention of a person to persevere in a
specific course of action. Commitment has been more or less an important force
behind the success of a person. An individual who has committed himself to a
certain task will be willing to pursue it until it is completed even if that
person experiences obstacles during the process. Organizational commitment is
actually a state in which a worker seems to identify with a certain company and
its objectives while wishing to maintain membership in the firm. This can also
be explained in terms of employee loyalty. It is manifested in the acceptance
of workers of organizational goals and values along with his loyalty to a
company reflected by his desire to remain in the firm. Organizational success
and job performance are attributed to the participation and commitment of
workers. When there is a high commitment in a company, the rate of employee
retention is improved, operating costs are reduced, and employee performance is
promoted. Strong commitment allows the workers of an organization to work
harder for achieving the goals of a company (Tolentino, 2013).
2.4 Job Performance of Time Management and Its Impact in
the Oil and Gas sector
As Appelbaum, et al (2008) found out, job performance remains the most
critical dependable variable and that it is also the most important topic in
research on industries and organizations. Performance, of any kind, is the
consistent ability to generate results over a long period of time. In
organizations, high performance is the ability to exceed in different areas in
such a way that it achieves better results than the competition in many of the
aspects used to measure business success over a prolonged period of time. Abduljabbr, Mahdi, and Almsafir, (2012) say that time
management, as has already been highlighted, is one of the measures that help
organizations to create and maintain organizational performance (Abduljabbr, Mahdi, & Almsafir, 2012). Indeed, time
management helps employees to be at their very best in terms of performance.
The success and survival of a company are largely hinged on workforce
performance. Job performance is by the 3Es of management. These are Economy,
Efficiency, and Effectiveness. The most ideal yardstick for optimal performance
is the lowest cost it takes to produce goods (economy), the resources needed to
produce a certain quality and quantity of goods (efficiency) and finally, the
extent to which, in producing goods and services, employees manage to achieve
organizational goals.
2.5 Review of the
Relationship between Time Management and Job Performance in
the Oil and Gas sector
As already underscored earlier in this chapter and in the previous one,
time management and job performance are strongly linked which means that one
has a direct effect on the other. This effect can be either positive or
negative.
Moving on to time management and job performance, there have been
studies around the world that have sought to assess this relationship.
For instance, Njagi and Malel (2012) conducted a quantitative analysis that
sought to analyze this relationship. The two researchers utilized statistical
models of correlation and regression on their data. After their analysis, they
found out that this relationship exists. Moreover, they also proved that time
management has a positive effect on job performance. Another study that
ventures deeper into this relationship is Miqdadi et al (2014) which found that
there is a positive relationship between these two variables. Specifically, the
study found out that effective time management reflected positively on
students' academic performance. The study was quantitative in nature and used
the survey as a tool for data collection. Another study, Nonis, et al (2011)
also found a positive relationship between time management and employee
performance and satisfaction.
According to Ahmad, Yusuf, Shobri, and
Wahab (2012) effective management of time, no doubt contributes to the job
performance and can play a significant and positive role in the profitability
of a company. Engaging in the management of time, especially planning behaviors
can also contribut to the performance of a group. In addition, poor management
of time has been associated with high strain and stress, health issues, and
emotional exhaustion. Time management describes the behavior of workers which
is all about being capable of producing supportable use of the time of workers
at intervals for performing some specific processes. Time management is able to lead an
organization to success by reducing maintaining balance, stress, and increasing
setting and productivity while creating endeavor for realizing the goal of a
person. From this perspective, it can be seen by individuals that time
management is important in enhancing the dimensions of life. During the past
twenty years, there has actually been a growing recognition of the significance
of time in literature. Work’s temporal dimension has become very signifciant
due to the expansion of international comptition and increased requirements for
obtaining the economicla use of time and must be associated with some specific
purposeful activities. There are factors of the management of time and as a
consequence, it seems to accept various items which are associated with
planning in a period of short-term and in the long-term as well (Ahmad,
Yusuf, Shobri, & Wahab, 2012). The aim of
these factors is to assess the practices of time management are time wasters,
time attitudes, and time planning.
Time planning and Its Impact on Job Performance in the Oil
and Gas sector
The very first issue was time planning and as a consequence, it seems to
accept a variety of items which are associated with planning. Time planning is
actually linked to the performance of a job under the circumstances of high
motivation.
Time Attitudes and Its Impact on Job Performance in the Oil
and Gas sector
Time attitude is the second issue and is quite attitudinal in nature.
Time attitude is used for conducting validity and responsibility of the
management of time. This study seems to also connect time attitude as an issue
of the management of time with job performance.
Time Wasters of and Its Impact on Job Performance in the
Oil and Gas sector
Time is actually wasted as a
consequence of poor utilization of time and inefficient utilization of private
time. For instance, sales personnel know that some consumers are not real and
they develop ways for eliminating these time-wasters for improving their work.
The findings of the study by Abduljabbr, Mahdi, and Almsafir, (2012) on the
connection among above factors indicate that there is a positive correlation
among job performance and independent variable while the time wasters had
inverse one with job performance. It means that the improvement of time wasters
can make the teamwork convenient along with the integration of people while
helping them achieve their objectives. Findings of the management of time
unveil a positive correlation with job performance (Abduljabbr, Mahdi, & Almsafir, 2012).
2.6 Review of the Relationship between
organizational commitment and Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
According to Tolentino (2013), the
success of a company is attributed to the commitment of employees of that firm.
Organizational success and job
performance are attributed to the participation and commitment of workers. When
there is a high commitment in a company, the rate of employee retention is
improved, operating costs are reduced, and employee performance is promoted.
Strong commitment allows the workers of an organization to work harder for
achieving the goals of a company. A worker that has a high level of work
commitment, he sees himself as a true member of the company and is likely to
accept the beliefs and values of the company and will be more tolerant to the
small sources of dissatisfaction. There is actually a negative relationship
between absenteeism and work commitment. The level of work commitment of an employee
towards an organization is actually a better indicator or pointer of turnover
in comparison with job satisfaction.
Organizational commitment is capable of being measured in several ways. Two
dimensions can be used for measuring commitment which includes a desire to stay
with the company and acceptance of organizational values and goals. OC or
organizational commitment is one of the most basic and fundamental concepts
that has been studied and explored in relation with workforce productivity and
motivation. Its significance in any company cannot be underrated at all.
Furthermore, it is believed that every worker with a powerful organizational
will works harder for contributing to the performance of the organization. It
is the commitment that allows the workers to feel as if they have to work hard
in order to achieve the objectives which are clearly not their own. Even if it
is not their goals, they still are willing to invest their efforts in achieving
the goals of the company. They don't exhibit behaviors which are harmful to the
company and this allows them to be effective in their work and contribute to
the organizational performance and their own effective job performance (Tolentino, 2013).
2.7 Review of the Relationship between
work engagement and Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
According to Jackson (2014), for
thriving in the tumultuous and highly competitive economic environment,
companies use a workforce that is not only proactive but also committed to
perform at very high standards both at the organizational and individual level.
Organizations can be provided with an effective competitive edge by work
engagement. Moreover, employers who aim to build as well as maintain an engaged
workforce might experience various beneficial outcomes like a positive
corporate picture, powerful financial returns, and better business-unit
performance. Additionally, the crossover in terms of engagement among employees
of the same team might prove to be valuable for the performance of an
organization. Considering these benefits, companies might want to apply
programs that can promote engagement as they might lead to positive results in
the form of job performance and employee retention.
Often, work engagement is simplified as a fulfilling and positive state
of mind that is related to the work and is characterized by absorption,
dedication, and vigor. Just as implied in its simplification, three separate
dimensions are represented by it. The very first dimension is absorption can be
explained as the state of being indulged in the job as the time passes with
swiftness and one feels difficult to separate himself from the work. The second
dimension is dedication and it is specified by the workers who are involved in
their work and seem to experience a sense of challenge, passion, and meaning. The
third dimension is vigor and it can be explained as very high levels of stamina
and energy that workers might exhibit while working.
It is actually believed that those who are engaged are capable of
outperforming the ones who are engaged less because they seem to create their
own personal and job resources, experience emotions which can be referred as
positive, and often are physically and psychologically healthier (Jackson, 2014).
Two of
these variables will be covered in this chapter. These are organizational commitment
and work engagement. According to Colquitt et al. (2011), organizational
commitment refers to how employees view a company and the differences that it
sets compared to other potential employers. The value of having employees who
are fundamentally committed needs to be overemphasized. This is because
organizational commitment is connected to many factors that organizations
consider important. These factors include job satisfaction, loyalty,
punctuality, and hard work.
Work engagement is a major
determinant of job performance since people are the drivers of each organization.
According to Bakker and Demorouti (2017), employees perform optimally when they
are in an affective-motivational state which is also referred to as employee
engagement.
2.8 Gap Analysis of Time Management and Its Impact
on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Most studies on this topic tend to focus more on the relationship
between time management and job performance. While demonstrating this
relationship is vital, this study will venture more on time management and
specifically, why managers and organizations at large experience time
management challenges. In addition, the study will explore how these time
management failures (such as poor planning) affect job performance.
2.9 Conceptual Model of Time Management and Its Impact
on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
After analyzing relevant literature, the researcher developed a
conceptual model which underpins the study’s theoretical framework. In this
study, time management, organizational commitment, and work engagement are the
independent variable. The study's dependent variable is job performance as
captured below.
Figure 1: Conceptual Framework on the Relationship between
Independent and Dependent Variables in this Research Study
The general hypothesis (time
management is positively correlated with job performance) will be rejected or adopted by independently
testing how job performance is affected by each of the three independent
variables: time management, organizational commitment, and work engagement.
As a result, the study’s main hypothesis is:
H1:
Time management has an impact on job performance
H2:
Time management doesn’t affect job performance
H3:
Work engagement drives job performance
H4:
Organizational commitment and job performance are positively related.
CHAPTER THREE about of Time Management and Its
Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
METHODOLOGY on of Time Management and Its
Impact on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
3.1 Introduction of Time Management and Its Impact
on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
This chapter describes the methodology used. Specifically, it describes
how the researcher will acquire information and data from the literature and
the study population. It also explains the research design that the researcher
will use and the methods that he intends to employ during the entire process of
collecting data, presenting it as well as its analysis. Additionally, the
chapter also includes brief sections on the population of the study, the area
of study, sampling and techniques.
3.2 Research Design of Time Management and Its Impact
on Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
In any research work, identifying the problem is usually the first step.
When the research problem is known, the researcher(s) then develops the
research aims and questions. As Leech and
Onwuegbuzie (2009) aver, the main priority of the researcher is to
demonstrate to the research audience or consumers how he/she/they will
actualize the aims and objectives. To do this, the researcher needs to consider
the kind of questions he or she asking, the type of data that needs to be
collected to answer the question and the type of results that he or she will
report (Saunders, 2009). The method that the researcher will be using will thus
need to be highly structured and consistent, devoid of subjective judgment,
intuition, and personal observation. Therefore, a quantitative methodology is
most ideal for this research problem. Indeed, the purpose of this study is to
measure, assess and collect the meaning of the identified variables which will
then necessitate the creation of a statistical explanation of what the
researcher will learn. Using scientific inquiry, this study will entirely rely
on measured data to examine questions about the sample populations.
3.3 Data Collection Procedure of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The researcher will rely on random sampling where 200 will be selected
to represent the target population, Oil and Gas Company. Only two hundred
individuals have been selected because there are not enough resources to deal
with every worker in the organization. There are numerous workers in the
company and not every single one of them can be chosen for the process of
gathering data through questionnaires. However, in order to increase the
effectiveness of data collection method, the random selection of individuals
has been selected because it allows the researcher to obtain the perception of
almost any type of employee. With the random selection, the limitation is also
eliminated that some specific workers are purposely not being selected. That is
the reason why this method of sampling has been chosen. Random selection
involves choosing people regardless of their job posts, status, age, and
gender. The main data collection tool for this study is questionnaires.
Questionnaires are often used quantify and legitimize a population’s beliefs
about a phenomenon and the rationale of their behaviors (Rowley, 2014). The
benefits of using questionnaires as the data collection tool for this study
include the fact that they are inexpensive and flexible in terms of their
administration. Additionally, questionnaires are ideal for this study because
they are effective in generating information that is numeric in nature and
gathering large amounts of data. The questionnaire captures each of the four
variables in simple questions and statements. The tool was distributed via
social media with the researcher monitoring the responses daily until the questionnaire
captured 200 responses. Participants were encouraged to fill the questionnaires
at their most appropriate time.
3.4 Population and Sampling of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
A population, as Robinson (2014) points out consists of all the viable
elements, observation or subject related to a certain phenomenon that a
researcher has an interest in. For the sake of this study, the population
comprises of employees working in the Oil and Gas sector. The industry is the
major employer and contributor to the nation’s economy. In effect, it provides
an appropriate study population that will help the study achieve its objectives
and answer the research questions. In effect, companies in this sector will
identify approaches that they could use to improve productivity in their
workplace.
If the population is too large, a researcher can choose a sample of few
people from the population that will represent the whole population. In effect,
the researcher used simple random sampling to identify the sample that was
representative of this large group. In simple random sampling, each member of
this population has an equal chance of being selected as a participant (Suresh,
2011). Since Oil and Gas companies have many employees around the country, the
study concentrated on using technology to reach as many respondents as possible
by sharing the link to the survey using social media tools such as WhatsApp.
3.5 Data of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
3.5.1 Data Source of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The source of the study's primary data is the questionnaire which will
be administered to the 200 participants. The questionnaire will contain statements
where it will require participants to choose between five simple answer options
(Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree).
3.5.2 Measurement of Variables of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The
variables for this research will be evaluated based on the following
hypothesis:
H0:
Time management does not affect job performance
H1:
Time management has an impact on job performance
H3:
Work engagement drives job performance
H4:
Organizational commitment and job performance are positively related
In
this case, the independent variables are time management, organizational
commitment, and work engagement, while the dependent variable is job
performance. The researcher will use nominal and ordinal measurement scales to
measure the study's variables. The purpose of using these measures is to understand
the validity of the appropriateness of the conclusion generated from them. The
nominal scale is actually related to names and is commonly utilized for
indicating categories. These groups have corresponding numbers which are
allotted for the analysis of collected data. For instance, ethnicity and gender
of the person are recognized as the data for a nominal scale and that is why it
has been chosen for this study. On the other hand, the ordinal scale includes
the arrangement of information in a certain order. It is quite effective for
the analysis in which a respondent is asked to tell his or her experience of a
scale of 1-5.
3.6 Data Analysis of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Data analysis encompasses more than just collecting and coding data
information; it also goes beyond classification and categorization of this
data. Indeed, data analysis involves depicting or representing all the aspects
of the activities and processes that the researcher has conducted (Palinkas et al, 2015). As noted in the
research design, the study will use quantitative data. The specific data
analysis method that will be used to analyze quantitative data is inferential
statistics. Inferential statistics is ideal for this study since it is often
used to generalize results and make predictions about an entire study
population (Hayes and Scharkow, 2013). In
addition, inferential statistics is ideal for showing the relationship between
different variables making it suitable for this study. The scientific method
that will be used to analyze the statistical data generated from the
questionnaires SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). This tool is
ideal for analyzing complex statistical data. This software package, which is
officially owned by IBM, remains the world standard for analysis of social
science data. The main reason why the researcher has opted to use this software
is that it is straightforward or easy to use and has an English-like command
language.
CHAPTER FOUR of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
RESULTS AND ANALYSIS of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
4.1 Introduction of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
The results of this research are reported in this chapter. Demographic
file of each and every respondent, analysis of regression and correlation,
reliability, and statistical analysis of obtained data for answering the
questions and proving the hypotheses, are reported in this chapter.
It discusses the findings from statistical analysis and provides
discussions regarding the results of the analysis. It can be said that this
research is created in terms of hypothesis testing and descriptive testing. It
starts with preparation, screening of data and assessing the statistical
requirements which are underlying for all utilized analytical tools. It is followed
by the testing of hypothesis with a summary. This study relied completely on
SPSS 25 like a description for data analysis with respect to quantitative
analysis. This study is carried out in terms of descriptive and testing of
hypothesis for determining the impact of organizational commitment, work
engagement, and time management on job performance.
4.2 Demographic Profile of Respondent of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
For 285 respondents, demographic profiles were gathered for providing a
precise understanding about the segregation of participants with respect to
their work position, work type, work status, work duration, marital status,
education level, age, and gender. These specifications were involved for giving
information about demographic profile on each and every sample. Demographic
profile for descriptive statistics is explained by Table 4.4 for items in this

It is illustrated by the Table 4.5 that overall mean of every construct
ranged between 3.58 and 3.41. The standard deviation in specific and mean for
management of time were 0.598 and almost 3.50. It seems to suggest that
participants tended to have a medium standard of perception of management of
time. It has also been indicated by Table 4.5 that mean for organizational
commitment was almost 3.51 and .632 as the standard deviation. This suggests
that participants have a medium level of understanding about organizational
commitment. In addition, the findings indicate that means is equal to 3.41 and
standard deviation is equal to .686 for work engagement. It has also been
illustrated by Table 4.5 that standard deviation and mean for the job
performance .621 and 3.58.
4.4 Reliability of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
In this study, Cronbach’s alpha is a measure of the scale reliability
and internal consistency for the dependent and independent variables. For this
analysis, the value used between 0.79 and 0.6 to acceptability’s lower limit
value and the values which are between 0.89 and 0.80 determine that questions
for the dependent and independent variables are seemingly more homogeneous. The
Cronbach’s alpha for Time Management .885; Organizational
Commitment .857; Work Engagement .915; and Job Performance .889. Table 4.6
shows the summary about this result and indicates internal consistency and high
acceptability for these variables.

4.5 Correlation Analysis of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
An analysis of correlation is utilized for defining the relationship
among all depended and independent variables namely Time Management, Organizational
Commitment, and Work Engagement, while Job Performance is the dependent
variable. Analysis of Pearson's correlation is actually ranged among -1 and +1.
Such a value describes the power of the relationship between dependent and
independent variables which has been indicated to be low to high or moderate on
the basis of value of analysis of Pearson's correlation.
The below Table 4.7 shows that every dependent and independent variable
is significant for each other. The correlation of Pearson showed that, Time Management, Organizational Commitment, and Work
Engagement have a
positive relationship with the enhancement of Job Performance.

4.6 Regression Analysis of Time Management and Its Impact on
Job Performance in the Oil and Gas sector
Linear regression has been utilized in this study for testing three
hypotheses. This analysis’s objective is all about testing the power and
direction of relationship among dependent and independent variables. This
technique is able to analyze which independent variable has a more powerful
relationship with the dependent variable (Sekaran & Bougie, 2010).
