Vol.3, No.1C

Abstract

The research investigates the correlation between time management and online game addiction among 4th-year engineering students at Bestlink College of the Philippines. The research used a correlational quantitative design. The sample used was purposive sampling, with 78 students chosen from a pool of 148 students. The researchers used content validity with the internal consistency of Cronbach's alpha. Data was collected using a time management scale, with a Cronbach alpha score of 0.71, and a gaming addiction scale, with a Cronbach alpha score of 0.81, as the relationship was negative. When one variable gets higher, time management, the other variable lowers online game addiction. Still, in a weak or unstable way, or weak negative relationship and the significance level, it’s not statistically significant but weak negative correlation.
