Absence/lost time management: strategies to keep the workforce productive.

Managed disability is an effective tool to reduce the expense of disability claims. However, many employers have not realized the financial significance of lost time due to unexpected absence. This article discusses emerging trends that contribute to the need for absence/lost time management, quantifying the costs of lost time to the employer. Methods for tracking absence/ lost time are illustrated, as well as examples of lost time management.

Enhancing independent time-management skills of individuals with mental retardation using a Palmtop personal computer.

Achieving greater independence for individuals with mental retardation depends upon the acquisition of several key skills, including time-management and scheduling skills. The ability to perform tasks according to a schedule is essential to domains like independent living and employment. The use of a portable schedule prompting system to increase independence and self-regulation in time-management for individuals with mental retardation was examined. Twelve people with mental retardation participated in a comparison of their use of the technology system to perform tasks on a schedule with use of a written schedule. Results demonstrated the utility of a Palmtop computer with schedule prompting software to increase independence in the performance of vocational and daily living tasks by individuals with mental retardation.

Time management behaviors as potential explanatory factors in dental academic achievement.

DAT scores and predental GPAs have made the greatest but an imperfect contribution to the reliable estimation of dental students' academic success. One variable unaddressed yet having potential in accounting for unexplained variability in dental school performance is time management behaviors (TMB), a multidimensional attribute that is critical to success in a dental curriculum. Research has indicated a relationship of TMB dimensions (Setting Goals and Priorities, Mechanics of Time Management, Preference for Organization) with undergraduate academic achievement. The purposes of this study were: 1) to ascertain the levels of TMB dimensions reflected in predental students; 2) to validate in predental students the relationship of TMB dimensions and undergraduate academic achievement; and 3) to explore the relationship of TMB dimensions of predental students as explanatory variables of their early academic achievement in the dental curriculum. All individuals who were applicants interviewed for the 1997 entering D.D.S. class and the majority of members of the 1996 entering D.D.S. class participated in this study (n = 192). Each completed the TMB scale. High levels of TMB across dimensions were observed in predental and dental students. Unlike prior research, results showed virtually no relationship of TMB dimensions with undergraduate GPA of these subjects. Though a small relationship was found between dimensions and first-year dental GPAs, no dimension explained a significant amount of variance in any of these dental GPAs beyond that of undergraduate science GPA.

GPs' perspectives on managing time in consultations with patients suffering from depression: a qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: Although there is widespread concern that general practice consultations are too short for doctors to provide a high quality of care for patients, the relationship between the length and outcome of these consultations remains unclear. Research to date has neglected the subjective experience of consultation time of both patients and GPs. OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate GP perspectives on consultation time and the management of depression in general practice. METHOD: A qualitative interview-based study was carried out of 19 GPs from eight West Midlands general practices. RESULTS: The GPs in this study acknowledged the pressure of work and resource constraints in general practice. However, they did not feel these prevented them from providing good support and treatment for depression. They were confident in the effectiveness of antidepressants and their own skills in providing counselling support, and were able to utilize time flexibly in responding to patients' variable needs. Depression was viewed as a relatively straightforward problem that usually could be managed within the resources available to general practice. CONCLUSION: The doctors generally did not experience time to be a limiting factor in providing care for patients with depression. This is in contrast to the more acute sense of time pressure commonly reported by patients which they felt undermined their capacity to benefit from the consultation. GPs need to be more aware of patient anxieties about time, and to devise effective means of raising patients' sense of time entitlement in general practice consultations.

Making every minute count: effective time management.

Managing ourselves and putting first things first. That's the essence of fourth-wave time management. It's about prioritizing, organizing with set priorities in mind and finding the discipline to achieve these goals. If you and your team can master this, the important, not the urgent, will dictate how you use your time.

A derivation of the underlying constructs of just-in-time management systems.

Researchers have recommended that the theoretical constructs underlying just-in-time (JIT) management systems be identified and developed if JIT is to be fully understood and its full capabilities realized. In this study, we advanced this conceptual development through an instrument based on the relevant literature and empirically deriving three underlying constructs: (1) operating structure and control, (2) product scheduling, and (3) quality implementation. We report a content analysis of these constructs and develop propositions regarding their relationships, predecessors, and outcomes.
