Abstract

Background

Employee performance is a key factor in achieving organizational effectiveness and productivity. In workplace settings, time management and work discipline play important roles in helping employees complete tasks efficiently, follow organizational rules, and maintain consistent work quality. However, in daily operations, employees may still face challenges related to task prioritization, schedule changes, punctuality, and work consistency. Therefore, examining the relationship between time management, work discipline, and employee performance is important for improving human resource management practices.

Objectives

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between time management and work discipline on employee performance at PT Jia Tian Indonesia.

Methods

This study used a descriptive quantitative approach supported by qualitative data. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation, interviews, and documentation. The sample consisted of 30 employees selected from the company environment. The questionnaire measured three main variables: time management, work discipline, and employee performance. Time management was assessed through goal setting, task prioritization, work scheduling, and distraction control. Work discipline was measured through rule compliance, work ethics, standard operating procedures, and self-control. Employee performance was assessed through work quality, work quantity, punctuality, effectiveness, and independence. The data were analyzed descriptively using mean scores and category interpretation.

Results

The results showed that employees’ time management was generally categorized as good, particularly in setting work goals and determining task priorities. Work discipline was also high, especially in rule compliance and work ethics. Employee performance showed a positive tendency, with work quality, work quantity, punctuality, and independence categorized as good. These findings indicate that employees who are able to plan tasks, prioritize work, comply with company rules, and control their work behavior tend to complete tasks more effectively and consistently.
