Time and productivity in the administrator's professional life

Abstract

The administrator is a professional responsible for managing the necessary resources to achieve the organizational objectives. Among these resources, time is characterized as irreplaceable and indispensable for any activity, so knowing how to use it is a decisive factor for productivity, which is the ratio between the resources used and the results obtained, in several areas. Thus, time management tools were developed to help achieve professional and personal goals, with emphasis on Personal Strategic Planning. For this reason, the research sought to present the impacts of time management on the activities of the professional Administrator, and for that purpose it used the bibliographic research and the Delphi methodology. It was possible to conclude that the most valued professionals are those with a generalist view, flexible and adaptable and that the environment in which they find themselves is marked by great dynamism and competitiveness; that theories of time management are based on the conscious long-term planning of activities that have a real impact on the achievement of objectives, identified after a process of self-analysis and that management experts corroborate the theories presented about personal productivity.
