Time management implies the use of different techniques and tools for planning and
organizing time in order to increase service effectiveness and personal effectiveness of each
employee in the public administration and public administration as a whole. Public
administration effectively serves if it, in given circumstances, presents a favorable
relationship between the service goods, services and resources used (Osmanagić 2006).
Estimates show that the utilization of human resources in business systems is only 30 - 40%,
while the most energy and time are wasted because there are no clear objectives and good
planning (Seiwert, Lothar J., 1999).
Better organization of time and thereby effectively used time leave room for greater
opportunities for exploitation of quality time (JC Messenger, 2004).Figure 2 in Protégé
presents the basic form of basic skills that are necessary for effective time management:
recommendations for management of time, what the employees in public administration in
