Abstract

Purpose

The objectives of this research are to analyze the sociodemographic and personality profiles most related to good academic time management among 845 students from different faculties at the University de Barcelona (UB) and to identify the explanatory factors of effective academic time management.

Design/methodology/approach

Poor time management is a common behavior among university students and an explanatory factor for academic failure. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student (PASS), the Academic Time Management (ATM), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) and the Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) were administered.

Findings

The results reveal that female students, education majors and those with high academic performance show better time management than the rest of the student body. Additionally, students who have better academic time management are also more neurotic, more open to experience, more responsible and less prone to procrastination. The factors established as explanatory of good academic time management are neuroticism, openness to experience and low procrastination.

Originality/value

The implications of the results for promoting academic time management in university studies through specific actions are discussed.

大学生时间管理概况及其与社会人口和心理因素的关系

目的：本研究旨在分析巴塞罗那大学（UB）不同院系 845 名学生中与良好学业时间管理最相关的社会人口学和人格特征，并确定有效学业时间管理的解释因素。研究采用了社会人口学问卷、学生拖延评估量表（PASS）、学业时间管理（ATM）、简明症状量表（BSI-18）和大五量表-10（BFI-10）。结果结果显示，女生、教育专业学生和学习成绩优异的学生比其他学生的时间管理能力更强。此外，学业时间管理较好的学生也更神经质、更乐于接受经验、更有责任感、更不容易拖延。作为良好学业时间管理的解释因素，神经质、对经验的开放性和低拖延症得到了确定。

期刊介绍： Higher education around the world has become a major topic of discussion, debate, and controversy, as a range of political, economic, social, and technological pressures result in a myriad of changes at all levels. But the quality and quantity of critical dialogue and research and their relationship with practice remains limited. This internationally peer-reviewed journal addresses this shortfall by focusing on the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning and higher education and covers: - Higher education teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, policy, management, leadership, and related areas - Digitization, internationalization, and democratization of higher education, and related areas such as lifelong and lifewide learning - Innovation, change, and reflections on current practices
