This study aimed to examine the impact of time management dimensions (time planning, time organization, time direction, and time control) on improving job performance among employees at the Educational Services Office in Alkhums. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to a random sample of 40 participants. Out of these, 35 completed questionnaires were returned and analyzed. The researcher employed a set of statistical methods available in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), consistent with the nature of the data and the study hypotheses. The findings revealed a statistically significant effect at the 0.05 level between the dimensions of time management and the improvement of job performance at the Educational Services Office in Alkhums. The study concluded with several recommendations, most notably: activating training courses and workshops, distributing roles and tasks while considering work priorities, enhancing coordination among employees through effective communication systems and responsibility sharing, utilizing modern technology in time management via specialized software, and establishing a dedicated office to implement contemporary time management practices to ensure improved performance and optimal utilization of time resources.
