Concep o Job E iciency
E iciency is a complex idea ha includes he deg ee o which p ede ined goals can be achie ed (P adhan &
Jena, 2020) as well as he esul s o employee ac ions depending on hei knowledge and abili ies (Dahkoul, 2018). E iciency is
de ined as "some hing ha is done o he p oduc s o se ices p oduced o p o ided by a pe son o g oup o people" by Rashed and
Ahmad (2020). Howe e , i only co e s he ac ions o an employee and excludes he ou comes o hose ac ions.
Acco ding o Sendawula e al. (2018), employee e iciency is he esul o an indi idual's wo k accomplishmen ollowing

Concep o Time Managemen Technique
Acco ding o Oko o P. E. (2018a), ime is he amoun o ime—seconds, minu es, hou s, o pe iods— ha is an icipa ed o

hose goals, he e is cu en ly no de ini i e and accu a e de ini ion o he e m (Lakein, 2023).
Acco ding o Oko o P.E. (2018b), ime managemen is a collec ion o ideas, me hods, abili ies, esou ces, and p ocedu es

Acco ding o Onuo ah (2020), ime managemen is he p ocess o planning ac i i ies o e en s by i s p edic ing how long

When asks a e p io i ized, o ganiza ional p oduc i i y inc eases. Howe e , i can be challenging o know how o p io i ize,

Mul i asking and Employee E iciency
Mul i asking is he simul aneous execu ion o quick swi ching o wo o mo e asks, usually wi h he goal o inc easing

a e equi ed o manage se e al du ies and deadlines a he same ime. The e m "mul i asking" e e s o an indi idual's abili y o
wo k on wo o mo e in o ma ion-p ocessing asks simul aneously o concu en ly (Reka , 2021). As a esul , he indi idual can

Many esea che s ha e no ed ha mul i asking may no be as success ul as ime managemen , as gene ally belie ed. One

In luence o Wo k Scheduling Technique on Employee E iciency
Kandie and Chepkilo (2022) desc ibe a wo k schedule as he ime when an employee is expec ed o be p esen and wo king.
In many ci cums ances, he employe will es ablish he numbe o days and hou s wo ked. An employee's wo k schedule con ains

Acco ding o Kandie and Chepkilo (2022), when an employe hi es o ill a acancy, he o ganiza ion de e mines he

Se e al s udies ha e ela ed employee e iciency o ime managemen me hods, including wo k schedules used by

6. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: The Pickle Ja Theo y
This s udy's heo e ical amewo k is based on Je emy W igh 's (2002) Pickle Ja Theo y, which Gunawan (2024) has

his me hod helps a oid he dange s o mul i asking, which can cause eelings o o e whelm and dec eased e ec i eness. E ec i e
ime managemen maximizes ene gy and ocus. The Pickle Ja Theo y enables people o e alua e he ele ance and u gency o
