IMPACT OF TIME MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF WORK PERFORMANCE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL HEADS WITH MEDIATING ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE

Abstract

 The present study focuses on the impact of time management practices on work performance of secondary school heads with mediating role of their professional attitude. Positivism research philosophy was adopted. Therefore, Correlational research design was applied. A sample of 250 school heads were selected out of 670 heads of the schools by using Yamane (1967) sample formula. Researcher used stratified sampling technique for the selection of sample.  A questionnaire was used based on Five point Likert scale. Twenty two (22) items of Time management Practices (Robertson, 1999; Larry, 2003), 24 items about Job performance (Spence & Helmreich, 1974) and 26 items about Professional attitude scale (Khan et al., 2009). Validation of the questionnaire was completed by applying Conant Validity Ratio (CVR) and Cronbach’s Alpha was used to estimate the reliability of the instrument. As per result, the reliability of TMPS, WPS and PAS was found .821, .782 and .832 respectively. Researcher used Pearson product Moment Correlation and mediation analysis by using Barron and Kenny Model (1986). For this purpose, macro process by Hayes (2013) was applied. The findings of the study indicates that PA partially mediates in the relationship between TMP and WP. In simple words, professional attitude plays a significant role in the relationship of TMP and WP. In addition, PA of school heads positively influence on the relationship of TMP and WP. The study recommended that school administrators collaborate with their staff members and appropriately assign roles and tasks to them depending on their skills in order to avoid overburdening them.
