| Summary: | During the last two decades, time management and decision-making have become
well-established topics in modern working life. However, little research attention has been
given to the link between the two. The purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between time management factors and decision-making processes. This
research was specifically focused on identifying which aspects of decision-making
processes are related to time management factors. It was predicted that decision-making
processes will be more efficient\effective when employees have time management related
competencies and work in an environment that supports time management.
A research model was built based on previous research in this field and tested using
bivariate correlations, t-tests, and multiple-regression analyses. Five organizations in New
Zealand and three in Russia participated in the research, contributing a total of 164
employees. Results indicated, as predicted, that the effectiveness of decision-making
processes partially depends on time management factors. Implications of the findings are
discussed and future directions for research on the relationship between time management
factors and decision-making processes are suggested.
