Keywords: Time management, Organizational productivity Introduction Time is the valuable resource for everyone. It has equal importance for personal and for professional success. Time is constant and irreversible. It is perishable and cannot be stored for further use (Adeojo, 2012). It is finite in nature that is why everyone should spend time carefully 116 International Journal in Management and Social Science http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 07 Issue 12, December 2019 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.319 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal (Ojo and Olaniyan, 2008).A set of certain skills and methods to achieve targets, goals and objectives such as setting goals, analyzing, allocating and organizing the available time is known as time management (Abd-el-Aziz, 2012). Time management does not mean to do most stuff rather it means to do what is deemed important. It also emphasizes to eliminate the inessentials. Better time management results quality work, quality social life and an organized personality but constant planning, review and revision is required until it become a habit (Hisrich & Peters, 2002). Time management can be learned by planning and to stay with it (Steven, 2009). An important part of planning is prioritizing. Prioritizing means list out the tasks you have to do and classify them according to their priority, and then spend most of the time to the important and urgent tasks (Tavakoli et al, 2013). Like any other person, proper management of time is also important for the managers. Manager’s work is closely related to time as he has to fulfill numerous working demands in limited time. Effective leaders manage time, the more likely opportunities exist to resolve issues and complete projects in a timely manner, which could result in organizational success (Charlton, 2000). Managers who complain not having sufficient time actually fail to organize themselves. Mostly they focus on the issues that will have a great impact on the performance of the organization and ignores the trivial things (Aniwura, 2011). Time management skills helps managers to utilize their scarce time resources, allow them to put their attention on the matters of highest priority that results improved job performance (Claessens et al, 2007). Saeidian and Paktinat (2013) also observed that the application of time management strategies create awareness in an individual on the available time allocation, the extent to which such time are utilized and committed to, and how far such time are effectively utilized before the time lapse. The authors stated that if the students or individuals did not do what they ought to do before the time lapse, it may lead to individual’s frustrations and such individuals will lag behind his colleagues in all styles of life. Therefore, the rationale for this study is to examine the relationship between time management indicators or time allocation, utilization, commitment and time lapses and those organizational productivity indicators of lecturer’s job performance, students academic performance, research publication, record keeping, organizational discipline .Each benefit of time management improves another aspect of one’s life. it is against this backdrop that the researcher choose to investigate time management and organizational productivity. 117 International Journal in Management and Social Science http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 07 Issue 12, December 2019 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.319 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal Statement of the Problem Due to the complexities of the lecturers’ role in the tertiary institutions, such role conflicts however constitute barriers to effective time management in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Mercanciogu (2010) observed that time is very essential for effectiveness and efficiency in the school administration an effective time management will surely enhance effective students academic performance. However, there is the need to utilize the allocated time effectively and committed to the program and tasks at the right time before the time lapse. The problem of this study aims at investigating the relationship between time management and organizational productivity in Nigeria. The study therefore focused on the time allocation, time utilization, time commitment and time lapse and how the time management really influences organizational productivity. Objectives of the Study The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of time management on organizational productivity in Nigeria breweries . Specific objectives of the study are to; 1. Determine the effect of multitasking on organizational productivity. 2. To examine the influence of prioritization on organizational productivity. 3.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Conceptual Framework Time Management There is no permanent and accurate definition of time management available in past literature and studies. Although many authors referred and supported that it is the process of determining needs, setting goals to achieve determined needs, prioritizing and planning the tasks required to achieve the set goals (Lakein, 2003). Time management (North, 2004) define time management as the organization of tasks or events by first estimating how much time a task will take to be completed, when it must be completed, and then adjust events that would interfere with its completion so that completion is reached in an appropriate time. Maganga(2014) postulate that time management is not about getting more things done in a day, it is about getting the things that matter most done. Time management is the ability to decide what is important in life both at work, at home and even in our personal life. In essence, you are the one in control of your life (Maganga2014) Time is the period during which actions or processes take place. (Healthier, 2005) defines time as a scarce resources which must be properly managed otherwise nothing can be managed. Time management consists of tools and activities that help and individual effectively manage and strategize his time. This is very important concept for everyone to attempt, learn and master over the course of his career. Through effective time management one can increase individual or group productivity and experience large profit that will lead to a more satisfying over all work and life experience (Maganga2014). Setting goals, delegation, decision making and delegation are key elements to perfecting time management (Sabelis, 2001). Time management employ exactly what is sound like effective 119 International Journal in Management and Social Science http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 07 Issue 12, December 2019 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.319 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal organization of time, planning for the future, scheduling activities, writing to do list and avoid time waster activities. Time management is defined as the management of time in order to make the most out of it (Maganga2014). Time management is an application of self-regulation processes coping behaviour of risk populations self-regulation strategies to discuss plans and their efficiency to use the procedures that are designed to help the individuals to achieve their goals by assessing the activities to prioritise the plans to facilitate the productivity and alleviate stress (Griffiths, 2003 Eilam & Aharon, 2003),The time management behaviours were found positively related to perceived control of time, job satisfaction, health, and negatively to stress. Time management training helps the teachers to enhance their time management skills, but not support directly and automatically to the performance as to become better (Claessens, Eerde, Rutte, & Roe, 2007). Organizational productivity The term productivity was applied for the first time by François Quesnay, the mathematician and economist who was an adherent of physiocracy school. He believe authority of any government is relied on increasing of productivity in the agriculture sector by proposing the economic table. Another French man in 1883 called Littere defined productivity as knowledge and technology of production. Fredrick Venislo, Taylor and Frank and Lillian Gilbert conducted studies about labor division, improving the methods and determining the standard time in order to enhance efficiency simultaneous with the beginning of scientific management movement period at the beginning of 1900 (Darvish, 2008). Productivity is maximization of utilizing the resources, human force and schemes scientifically to decrease expenses and increase employees, managers and consumers' satisfaction. Other definitions consider human force productivity as appropriate maximized utilization of human force towards goals of the organization with the lowest time and minimum expense. According to the National Productivity Organization in Iran, productivity is an intellectual attitude towards work and life. This is similar to a culture that its purpose is to make activities more intelligent for a better and excellent life. Productivity is achieving maximum possible profit from the labor force, power, talent and human force skill, land, machine, money, equipments of time, place, etc to enhance welfare of the society so that increasing of it is considered by the clear-sighted in politics, management and economy as a necessity towards enhancement of humans' living standard and society (Darvish, 2008). Mathis and Jackson (2000) defined productivity as a measure of the quantity and quality of work done considering the cost of the resource it took to do the work. Qadoos, Ayesha, Tayyab, 120 International Journal in Management and Social Science http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 07 Issue 12, December 2019 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.319 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal Toqeer and Hafiz (2015) is of the opinion that it is useful from a managerial standpoint to consider several forms of counter-productive behavior that are known to result from prolonged stress. Productivity refers to the real output per unit of labor. It is a powerful driver of international capital flows. Meneze (2006) defined productivity as the employee’s ability to produce work or goods and services according to the expected standards set by the employers, or beyond the expected standards. Productivity is calculated by comparing total amount of output to the total amount of input used to produce this output (Bojke, 2012). Theoretical Exposition Multitasking and Organizational Productivity Assess the result and amend as needed make sure that the important information are not skipped, make sure to correct any change that might occur sensitive skills in decision making is not learning a bunch of techniques but in knowing how and when to apply the basic principle and reevaluating and improving your methods. If reasonable goals are achieved consistently then good decisions are being made. Multitasking invites delegation skills delegation skills delegation means transfer of responsibility either from manager to subordinate and decision to delegate normally comes from the manager, if there is formal line of authority delegation occurs too. Much is needed from delegation to achieve organizational productivity, one must have delegation skill before delegating one of them is communication. Managers need to be able to communicate clearly with their employee when delegation. To achieve organizational productivity effectiveness an employee need to know why a task has been assigned to him/her, what type of task and expectation these issues require must be clear written to achieve its effectiveness, while delegating , listening is also required. Another issue is feedback it will help the employee perform the tasks better. Alison (2018) asserts that employees rarely have luxury of focusing on one task at a time and most jobs require employees to balance competing demands for energy/time, if you don’t think you do much of it, you most likely multitask most of the time. Here collaboration will enable workers to interface effectively with other colleagues successfully. It requires cooperative spirit and mutual respect it and employers seek employees that function effectively as part of team. Multitasking will help the employee think logically because it helps in making sound decision based on factual data. 121 International Journal in Management and Social Science http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com International Journal in Management and Social Science Volume 07 Issue 12, December 2019 ISSN: 2321-1784 Impact Factor: 6.319 Journal Homepage: http://ijmr.net.in, Email: irjmss@gmail.com Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal Procrastination and Organizational Productivity Nile (2015) in his research of academic procrastination he came up with 46% of subjects reported that “always” or “nearly” always procrastinate studying for examination and completing their assignments most student concluded that procrastination is a problem for them many students that engage themselves in procrastination consider themselves procrastinators and procrastination as voluntary delay an intended course of action despite expecting to be worse off the delay. Sabini& Silver (2008) argued that postponement and irrationality are two key features of procrastination putting a task of is not procrastination. One may desire to avoid negative emotions and delay stressful tasks and as the deadline for the target of procrastination grow closer they are more stressed and may decide to procrastinate more to avoid stress. Procrastination is encircled with negative outcomes and one’s performance tends to be at stake, it increases intense for fear and avoidance of evaluation of one’s abilities by others, heightened social self consciousness and anxiety, i.e. current low mood and workaholic research has shown that there is lower tendency of procrastination on valued tasks and excessive procrastination can become a problem and impede normal functioning. Procrastination can be overcome through avoiding habits that lead to procrastination, problems such as fear, anxiety, poor time management, evaluation of goals strengths and weakness set priorities, reinforce preset goals so that they can be balanced and achievable. Time management is the best key used in overcoming procrastination. Prioritization and Organizational Productivity If tasks are prioritize it leads to organizational productivity but sometimes it is hard to know how to prioritize mostly when one is faced with urgent tasks if one has to prioritize to lead to organizational productivity list what you have to accomplish and set them in other of importance because if you want to manage your time better and achieve extensively one tool that will help prioritize effectively is action plan which will differentiate important task concentration has to be improved distractions minimized, tasks that do not provide value to the organization must be eliminated. Chris (2014) asserts that to eliminate non priorities in organizational productivity tasks must be divided, review tasks handling method postpone or delete important tasks, control life balance e.g. rest, leisure, sleep, cheat leisure and non productive time, evaluated process becomes a device one can use with ownership for effective time management Harvard business review (2017) contributes that if organizational productivity is to be achieved three things are to be considered and they are technical skill, human relation skill and conceptual skill if these three items are place in administration of organizations in each department will put in theme best to actualizing the objective.

Theoretical Framework This study anchored on Theory of Time Quadrant Stephen Cpvey’s. Stephen Cpvey’sshared his assumptions into four quadrant, quadrant 1 deals with important deadline with high urgency elaborating on tasks and responsibilities that need immediate attention, quadrant 11 long term development and strategizing being used for items that are important without requiring immediate action and this should be used for long term strategizing. Quadrant 111 distractions with high urgency reserved for tasks that are urgent without being important. Delegation being an option here. Quadrant iv activities with little to no value, this focuses on tasks and responsibilities that do not yield any value and these time wasters should be eliminated at all cost. If this theory is applied in professional environment majority of the activities will within quadrant 1& 11 without quadrant 11 efficient time management would not be possible as it requires strategic element as well. Quadrant 1 have pressing problems, crises, tasks that have deadline , emergencies which when practice one will have a better result and time managed well. Quadrant 11 helps will help to increase your capability of finishing your task on time increasing planning, preparation, and training. Quadrants 111 if possible delegates them or consider rescheduling them. Quadrant if contains distractions which should be avoided as much as one can no matter how entertaining it consist of gang through internet without purpose watching television for hours.This theory will help you to reprioritize avoid procrastination, multitasking and used the available time judiciously to achieve more.

Source: Source: Compiled by the Researcher Summary and Gap in Literature The researcher has reviewed the literature under the conceptual frame work, theoretical framework, theoretical exposition and empirical review. Theoretical framework is anchored on Theory of Time Quadrant by Stephen Cpvey’s. The empirical review was summarize under webometrics analysis. The Conceptual framework reviewed that time management is an application of self-regulation processes (Griffiths, 2003). The researcher in the course of reviewing the topic under study (Time Management and administrative effectiveness) discovered that it has little or no empirical works rather has more of Time management and work performance. Time management also has not being discussed by many scholars and those that have discussed it have not used Anambra State mostly manufacturing firms being under study which forms the gap in the literature.
