- Training in time management: a case study in an outermost insular contextPublication . Sardinha, Luís Filipe; Sousa, Áurea; Leite, Eduardo; Carvalho, Andreia; Sardinha, Luís; Leite, EduardoThe theme of Time Management (TM) has been attracting growing attention from contemporary societies, with several authors having proposed different TM models. To improve TM skills, Training in Time Management (TTM) is recommended, which allows the development of cognitive skills. In practice, it translates into thought processes that allow the individual to analyse situations and that can be used to understand, address issues or problems, on the assumption that individual effectiveness is linked to organisational effectiveness. An attempt was made to apply a flexible TM model to employees from various organisations and to assess the assumed evidence of the benefits of this implementation. Through a quasi-experimental procedure, three TM training courses were delivered, in person and online, to workers from the Portuguese outermost regions. The programme was developed with a focus on the three pillars of the flexible TM model proposed by the authors: time perspective, self-recognition, and TM. Dependent variables were measured before training and two weeks after training. The training programme lasted for three hours. In general, it was found that statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were found between the average scores obtained on the scale that assesses TM behaviour at the two points in time in which the questionnaire was administered. In the 2nd time, after the training course on TM, the average total scores obtained were higher, so the training provided proved to be effective, as it led the participants to change some of their behaviours, thus contributing to a better TM on the part of the trainees.
