Teacher Service Delivery entails the duties carried out by a teacher in a learning institution. Teacher’s
duties include attending lessons, preparing lesson plans and evaluating students. Other teachers’ duties
include maintaining students’ discipline, nurturing students’ talents and also attending to teacher,
parent and students meetings. In Kenya, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) introduced Teacher
Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) as a performance management tool to enhance
teacher service delivery in secondary schools. One of the competences to be measured by TPAD was on
teacher time management practices. With the introduction of performance appraisal, TSC hoped
teachers will improve on timely preparedness on teaching contents, attending lessons and other school
activities timely. Despite the emphasize accorded aspect of time management in the teacher
performance appraisal there are still cases of teachers missing class lessons, syllabus not covered as
expected and lateness when attending to school functions and activities in Kitui County. This has raised
concerns among education stakeholders whether the aspect of time management in secondary schools
has influence on teacher service delivery. The objective of the study was to establish the influence of
teacher time management practices on service delivery in public secondary schools in Kitui county. The
study used descriptive survey and correlation research designs. The target population for study was
3169 subjects comprising 428 secondary school principals and 2738 teachers. The sample size was 337
respondents. Simple random sampling was used to select 47 principals and 298 teachers.
Questionnaires were used for data collection. The study found there is a significant influence in proper
time management practices and service delivery. Teachers need to go to school early enough, attend
lesson, meetings and all scheduled school activities in good times to enable them achieve the set
objectives.
