Time management skill is increasingly becoming a significant indicator of healthcare workers' productivity in achieving the mission of providing quality healthcare services. In addition to the knowledge and skills they possess, healthcare organizations require their employees to develop successful time management skills, which involve goal setting, planning, setting priorities, time estimation, and performance monitoring. The aim of this study is to examine the perception of employees about time management during work in healthcare organizations in the Republic of Serbia. An empirical research was conducted to achieve this aim. The results showed that healthcare workers are aware that time is the most important resource, yet they do not keep track of their time spent at work, which is a crucial component. Based on the results, it can be concluded that healthcare workers need education to improve their time management skills.
