ABSTRACT

This study focuses on investigating the factors that influence on university students' self-management abilities. A questionnaire with 6 frequency attributes and 40 scale attributes has been developed among 924 university students in China. Factors analysis yielded four reliable factors affecting university students' self-management abilities: time and task management, career planning management, interpersonal relationship management and psychological resilience management. After a multiple linear regression analysis, the results can be predicated with the regression equation. The researcher concludes that teachers should give guidance to the students' self-management abilities; teachers and administrative institutions should optimize the instructional design to cultivate and improve students' self-management abilities with contents and tasks.
