Abstract: Time management is by all means important in all aspects of our lives. Whether in individual capacities or in businesses and organizations, use and management of time is equally important. As applied to educational setting, time is precious to students, teachers, heads and the institution as a whole. These considerations have given the researchers the idea to undertake their study regarding the relationship between time management and students’ academic performance. The main objective of this study is to examine the significant relationship between time management variables and students’ academic performance. It basically used the descriptive research design in carrying out the study and in selecting the respondents, random sampling were undertaken to 100 students in Managerial and Financial Sciences department of Al-Zahra College for Women with its three specializations: Accounting, Finance, and Business Management departments. Data were analyzed using statistical tools such as frequencies, percentages, weighted mean, standard deviation, regression and correlation. Findings of the study revealed that there is significant correlation of some demographic variables such as age of the respondents and educational degree to students’ academic performance. Moreover, time management variable specifically the prioritization significantly correlates to students’ academic performance while other variables: procrastination and socialization have no significant relationship to students’ academic performance. Based on these findings, it is suggested that, students should observe and undertake prioritization of their tasks and responsibilities to improve their academic performance. Moreover, teachers should also integrate time management concepts and applications in their classes. Trainings and seminars on time management are also encouraged for the students.Abstract: Time management is by all means important in all aspects of our lives.

Abstract: The study investigated the role of motivation in employee retention using Christian Service University College (CSUC) as the study area. The study adopted quantitative survey and randomly sampled 108 staff of CSUC. The findings indicated the institution currently operate relatively ‘enviable’ motivational schemes including salary, commuting allowance, free family medical care among others and its impact on employee motivation and retention is seemingly significant although with regard to non financial motivation, management has not pay much attention to it. The researcher therefore recommends that any retention strategy to be adopted by Christian Service University College should encompass both financial and non-financial elements of motivation in order to guarantee employee retention. The institution should work towards building better employee relationship; improving on the bonuses and allowances of staff and ensure equity and fairness. Finally, staff’s personal and professional development must be given priority to ensure quality delivery of service to improve retention.Abstract: The study investigated the role of motivation in employee retention using Christian Service University College (CSUC) as the study area.
