Abstract

Several researches with different groups of subjects link the time management and stress as object of their researches. In Cuba there are few investigations on the problem, therefore, deepening the study of this relationship is the focus of this work. Therefore, the objective of this study is to characterize the time management of young workers in the tourism sector who present symptoms of stress. The investigation is based on a qualitative methodology and the multiple case study was the methodological strategy implemented with four young people of both sexes. The following techniques were used to collect information: interview, daily life stress inventory, cake and composition. The theoretical methodological reflections were carried out using as units of analysis: the time management in the life as a general skill of personal development and stress. The most relevant results indicate that the subjects present symptoms of stress due to difficulties in the time management, focusing their time fundamentally on work, based on a poor capacity for reflection and assessment as to what the time management of life implies and entails. It is observed that the time management tends to be reproductive and routine, product of a stereotyped learning process in early stages and the current uncritical familiarity about this ability.
