Even ancient thinkers made a final conclusion on importance of time management—planning is necessary. Time planning problem is of interest to everyone, especially to teachers, whose timing is influenced by many factors: school, students, society. Some researchers say that planning time is also influenced by personality traits. The ability to pick up in life directly depends on personality traits attributable to a certain person. This research is expected to help to determine the links between some personality traits of teachers and planning time and to better perceive this undiscovered area of research, which will lead us to understanding of the phenomenon of the lack of human time. The objective of this study is to reveal the links between planning time of teachers and certain personality traits, age, and teaching experience. The tasks of this research are as follows: 1. to compare planning time and features of personality traits of younger (up to 40 years) and older (over 40 years) teachers; 6. to compare scores of time management of teachers of different teaching experience and of their personality traits; 7. to analyze potential links between teachers‘ planning time and personality traits; 8. to determine planning time interface with demographic characteristics. The author of this study used the following methodology: Psychological Time Questionnaire, Time Management Style Questionnaire, Five-Factor Questionnaire, and Demographic Questionnaire. The research involved 100 teachers. The study was conducted in two educational institutions. The given results suggest that younger (up to 40 years) teachers have a higher level of neuroticism, while the older ones (over 40 years) - focus on the future, planning and organizing their time. Moreover, the results showed that teacher of longer teaching experience are more likely to plan and organize their time. It was also found that women, who participated in this research, more tend to think about their future, plan and organize their time than men did. Having regard to the results given, it may be argued that consciousness is an important feature in planning and organizing one's time. |
