2.1 Time Management
Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount
of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. For
event industry players, this particular item is tantamount to the success of organizing any event.
According to Altaf and Atif Awan (2011), among recent sociologists that have shown that the way
workers view time is connected to social issues such as the institution of family, gender roles, and the
amount of labor by the individual. Meanwhile, according to Mitchell and Samms (2010) description of
time management, individuals first determine their needs and wants and then rank them in terms of
importance.
Specific activities include setting goals to achieve the needs or wants and prioritizing the tasks
necessary to accomplish them. In the aspect of event management, time is viewed as the planning process
since the initiation stage of the event until the implementation of the program. Thus, the sequence of
actions must be followed through rigorously to achieve the end target of organizing a successful event.
Faulkner et al (2007) highlighted, because few, studies have addressed this specific issue, examination of
the linkage between perceived control over time and job satisfaction is warranted. It was expected that
those who felt in control of their time would be most satisfied with their job. Little research has been
conducted on the relationship between job performance and time management. This is the reason why
this study is conducted to prove that there is a significant relationship between excellent performances
with proper time management. Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools, and techniques
used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals complying with a due date.
