A comprehensive business database with more than 2,060 publications available in full text. Offers the latest business and financial information including coverage of management, advertising, human resources, finance, and information technology-related topicsLeisure Satisfaction: Beard and Ragheb's (1980) Leisure Satisfaction Measurement (LSM) was used to gauge students' leisure satisfaction. The instrument contained 51 questions ranging from "Never True" (1) to "Always True" (5) and assessed six leisure satisfaction components: psychological benefits, educational benefits, social benefits, relaxation benefits, physiological benefits, and aesthetic-environmental rewards. A higher score was indicative of greater benefits from leisure activities. The present study obtained an alpha reliability of 0.95 (subscales ranged from 0.85 to 0.95) as compared to 0.93 reported by Beard and Ragheb (1980).

Time Management: Macan et al. (1990) Time Management Behaviors (TMB) scale was used to assess students' time management behaviors. The instrument contained 46 items with a range of "Seldom True" (1) to "Very Often True" (5). Four subscales of time management were examined: Perceived Control of Time (belief that one can affect how time is spent), Setting Goals and Priorities (goal setting and prioritizing of objectives to reach the goal), Mechanics of Time Management (planning and scheduling), and Preference of Organization (organizational approach to a project or workspace). Certain items were reverse scored so that a higher score indicated greater time management skills. Chronbach's alphas for each of the TMB factors and overall TMB score were as follows: Mechanics of time management (0.85), setting goals and priorities (0.84), perceived control of time (0.67), preference of organization (0.80), and overall TMB score (0.74). The alpha coefficients for this study of mechanics of time management, preference of organization, and overall TMB score were higher than those
