With The Fast-Growing Rate Of Academicians In India, There Is A Growing Demands And Challenges Need To Understand The Concept Of Time Management Behaviour In Context Of Faculty Members. Three Underlying Dimensions Of Time Management (Setting Goals And Priorities, Preference For Organization And Mechanics Of Time Management) Are Confirmed In The Setting Of Faculty Members Of Higher Education Institutions In India. The Scale Was Empirically Tested In Indian Context To Establish Unidimensional, Reliable And Valid Scale Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) And Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) With AMOS Version 20.0.

Introduction In Recent Years, The Importance Of Time Management Behaviours Inorganizational Context Has Been Significantly Increased.Orlikowsky And Yates (2002) Attribute This Significance Of Temporal Dimension Because Of The World Becoming A Global Village,Immense Competition Is Leading To Increased Demand For Immediate Timely Availability Of Goods And Services. Garhammer (2002) Found That The Rapidity Of Life Demonstrated Acceleration, Habits Of Spending Time (E.G. Eat Faster, Sleep Less), And Actions Of Compression (E.G. Making A Phone Calls Over Lunch). Similarly, Many Researchers Have Scrutinized The Aspect Of Time In Organizational Framework (Palmer &Schoorman, 1999) And Have Tried To Understand The Role Of Pressure In Time Management Context Among Employees (Major Et Al., 2002).The Growing Importance Of Time Is Mirrored In Both, Theoretical And Practical Publications. Some Authors Argued Regarding The Need For Integration In Theoretical Models With The Research Models (Ancona Et Al., 2001). While Other Have Focused On How Employees Manage Their Time, And How Can These Efforts Can Be Improved (Macan, 1994). Teaching Is Often Considered As A Stressful And Complex Occupation, With Increased Demands, Long Working Hours And High Workload (Court, 1996; Daniels & Guppy, 1994; Early, 1994; Jackson & Hayday, 1997;Tytherleigh Et Al., 2005). Apart From Their Core Task I.E. Teaching, Teachers Have To Fulfil A Great Number Of Additional Tasks Viz. Administrative Tasks, Preparing For Classes And Notes, Managing Classroom, Meeting Syllabus Deadlines And Engaging In Extracurricular Activities, Projects (Bauer Et Al., 2007). Teachers’ Job Profile Is More Complex In Higher Education Institutes In India. As, Indian Higher Education System Is The Third Largest In The World (World Bank Report, 2011) And Teachers Are Under Constant Pressure To Perform And Manage For Themselves And Their Institutions Collectively. They Also Have To Engage In Researchand Guidance, Training And Placement, And Have To Fulfil Various Criteria For Their Own Career Development (E.G. Promotion). It Is Felt That There Is Not Enough Time To Complete All The Work Effectively. Therefore, It Is Essential For Teachers To Have A Good Time Management Behaviour Which Can Enhance Productivity And Minimise Stress (Lay & Schouwenburg, 1993), Also Contributes To The Work Effectiveness And Success (Misra & Mckean, 2000). It Has Been Observed That Time Management Practices Lower The Stress Level (Schuler, 1979). Effective Time Management A Play An Important Factor For Experiencing Job Satisfaction, Lower Stress And Maximize Health And Thus Can Contribute To An Individual And Organization’s Results.
