The factorial structure of the Time Management Behavior Scale (TMBS) was investigated in Colombian college students. Time management is an important predictor of the academic achievements and is key in reducing college desertion. 494 first year students from nine different programs and two universities in Bogotá city participated. A multidimensional structure of four sub scales that explain 42.68% of the variance was verified. Indexes of internal consistency above 0.7 in three factors and a global reliability of 0.84 were obtained. In accordance with previous research, women obtain higher scores against men in two of the obtained sub scales, and the students of Education programs score better in “Perception of time control” than engineering students. The results obtained in Colombia are compared with the North American and Spanish test. |
