성인의 시간관리 척도 개발

초록

This study developed and validated a time management scale for adults. To this end, a four-stage procedure was employed: model development, item generation and review, scale development and refinement, and scale evaluation and finalization. Content validity was established through a systematic literature review and two rounds of Delphi surveys. A pilot study (N = 330) and main study (N = 762) were conducted, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to examine reliability and validity. The final scale consisted of 31 items across the eight factors of goal and priority setting, time planning, time efficacy, time attitude, execution maintenance, execution evaluation, contextual understanding, and time flexibility. This study conceptualized adult time management as a multidimensional construct encompassing cognitive, affective, behavioral, and contextual domains, thereby addressing the limitations of existing measurement tools. In addition, predictive validity was supported by demonstrating a statistically significant positive effect on life satisfaction. The developed scale can serve as a foundational tool for supporting self-directed learning and practice among adults in the lifelong learning context.
