To Study The Factors That Influence Momentary Decision Making By Management Students Of Southern Bangalore Concentrating On Their Time Allocation And Habitual Activities

Abstract

It is very necessary for students to be able to allocate their time as a valuable and scarce resource. There is no room for habitual procrastinators. The youth today are the future of our tomorrow. It is necessary for them to understand the importance of time, which is by far the most treasurable resource one has, if not used well, one will repent. Our research focuses on identifying how students in business management within the age group of 17 – 26 spend their time and what are the factors influencing their momentary decision making; with a sample size of 80, from which 45 are males and 35 are females. Information is primary data and is collected through questionnaires which were distributed online and in person. Through our research we are able to conclude that there is relationship between travel-time and concentration level. We are also able to understand that social media habits are more or less the same within this age group, co-curricular activities and study goals more or less have the same importance. It is also noticed that most of the decisions based on behavior are influenced by the peers opinions and suggestions. In the course of our research, we have identified that the most preferred activity as a stress buster is going for a walk, or indulging in some physical activity
