Influence of Time Management Performance Appraisal on Teacher Performance among Secondary Schools in Migori County, Kenya

Abstract

IntroductionTime management refers to all of the practices that individuals follow to make better use of their time (Allen, 2001). This concept narrowly refers to the principles and systems that individuals use to make conscious decisions about the activities that occupy their time (Sahito et al, 2016). According to Mgbere and Andrew (2019), time management for teachers is an indispensable element of school organization comprising the art of arranging, scheduling and budgeting ones time to achieve instructional or pedagogical objectives.

On the other hand, Sahito and Vaisanen (2017) argue that Time management is an indispensable element of school organization, it is the art of arranging, and scheduling and budgeting ones time to achieve objectives.

Studies relating time management and teacher performance have yielded mixed and conflicting outcomes. Mgbere and Andrew (2019) in Nigeria found that many teachers lack technicality in managing their time for effectiveness. They showed that time management contributes only 3.1% to female teacher job performance. In Holland, Claessens and Eindhoven (2019) found that time management behaviour relates positively with perceived control of time, job satisfaction and health, and
