Abstract
This study aims to analyze the relationship between time management and academic stress among final-year university students in Yogyakarta. A quantitative correlational approach was used, with a sample of 211 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Time Management Behavior Scale (TMBS) and the Student Academic Stress Scale (SASS). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between time management and academic stress, with a correlation coefficient of r = –0.856 and a significance level of p < .001. These results support the hypothesis that better time management is associated with lower academic stress. The time management variable explained 73% of the variance in academic stress. The findings highlight the importance of developing time management skills as a strategy to reduce stress among final-year university students.
