 Abstract:

In Malaysia, it is a fact that cannot be denied that female workers have subsidized to the development of the national economy. Realizing that fact, the government keeps on putting efforts to increase the women participation in the labor workforce with the hope to boost the economic growth of the nation. Many factors were found to have influenced female employees’ work performance. However, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between motivation, time management and job performance among the female workforce in Malaysia. The sample comprised a total of 218 female workers from the manufacturing, education, hospitality and health sectors in Malaysia. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. A survey questionnaire was utilized to collect the data. Analysis of the data was performed by using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS-Studio) and the techniques employed to analyses the data were descriptive statistics, factor analysis (specifically principal component analysis) and multiple-linear regression (ordinary least squares) analysis. The results of the analyses show that time management and motivation have a significant, positive relationship with job performance among female workers in Malaysia.
