Abstract

This study looked specifically at a few local government councils in Delta State to see how time management affected worker productivity. A structured questionnaire served as the primary data collection tool for the study, which also included secondary and primary sources of information. Purposive sampling was used in the study, which had 336 employees as its primary focus. The Theory of Time Management Quadrant, created by Covey R. Stephen in 2009, served as the theoretical framework of analysis used in this investigation. The theory could be used anywhere that increasing employee productivity and organizational success is largely dependent on effective time management. With the use of SPSS version 23.0, the collected data were analyzed using percentages, linear regression analysis, and multiple regression analysis, respectively.
