Investigation of the correlation of time management on stress level in secondary school students (F.4 and F.5) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong

Poor time management and high-stress levels impose adverse effects on many secondary students. Poor mental health would impair one's physiological health. Time management, stress, and academic performance are associated with significant correlations in several studies. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between these variables. To demonstrate the relationship between stress and the most reliable predictor, we used stepwise multiple regression. The results indicated that time management and academic performance are significant predictors of stress. Nonetheless, these three constructs were unrelated to gender. Several implications are discussed for secondary school students and practitioners.
