Abstract The study was conducted to assess the level of time management skills of novice teachers, to identify the level of quality of research of novice teachers, and to measure the effect of time management skills on quality of research among novice teachers at university level. The conceptual framework of study was the combination of two models. The time management skills model having five sub-dimensions and was presented by the Editorial Team (2007) while Research quality assessment model was having seven sub-dimensions and was presented by Oluka, Nie, and Sun (2014). The approach of this study was quantitative and its design was correlational. The population of study was consisted on 276 novice teachers who were serving in all social sciences departments of the six public sector universities of Islamabad during session (2021-2022). In this research census sampling technique was used because the number of target population was small and contained only 276 novice teachers. From 276 novice teachers 40 were selected for pilot trial and remaining 236 for final data collection. Out of 236 respondents 227 returned questionnaires with complete response. So, the rate of return was 96%. The researcher adapted two sets of scales for assessing time management skills and quality of research in the light of conceptual framework. To check the reliability of scales researcher conducted pilot trial and used Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability, Item-total Correlation, and Inter-section Correlation. The reliability scores of the final scales were .92 and .96. The data was analyzed by using Individual score, and Linear Regression analysis. The study results showed that majority (63%) of novice teachers scored at above average level of having good time management skills. Results also declared that maximum (65%) of novice teachers scored at above average level of producing quality research. There was statistically significant and positive effect of time management skills on quality of research among novice teachers. Thus, it is recommended that departmental discourse may be organized on monthly basis for the sharing of latest time management strategies by the senior teachers for novice teachers’ grooming. Novice teachers may utilize digital project management soft wares like Monday.com, web based etc in order to keep control on all research tasks and to increase the quality of their research studies.
