Abstract:

This research work focuses on the analysis of the difficulties that hinder time management among state-owned enterprise employees in Benin, especially those of the Autonomous Port of Cotonou (P.A.C). The aim was to establish the links between the time management by the P.A.C officers and their efficiency. A methodological approach consisting of non-probabilistic sampling techniques (stratified and reasoned choice) and data collection techniques such as interview, observation and the questionnaire was used.
It emerges from this research that the efficiency at work of the agents of the port of Cotonou strongly depends on the management that they make of the constrained time and the chosen time. On the other hand, unforeseen events, inconveniences and professional relaxation ... have been identified as poorly managed situations that lead to the production of stress in the ranks of the agents concerned.
