HOW TIME MANAGEMENT AND SELF-EFFICACY CAN MAINTAIN STUDENTS’ MENTAL HEALTH

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of time management and self-efficacy on students’ mental health, with a focus on their stress levels. Drawing upon contemporary theories of self-regulation and psychological well-being, a quantitative survey was conducted among 100 respondents. The respondents consisted of 83.2% females and 16.8% males. The results reveal that time management and self-efficacy do not have a significant effect on students’ mental health when tested separately. However, when examined simultaneously, both variables significantly influence students’ stress levels. These findings highlight the importance of developing both effective time management skills and strong self-efficacy to promote better mental health and reduce academic stress among students.
