Abstract: This study explores the relationship between university students' time managementskills and academic self-efficacy, aiming to uncover the mechanisms through which these factorsinfluence academic performance and provide a foundation for optimizing academic development. Utilizing questionnaire surveys and quantitative analysis, the research evaluates the impact of varying levels of time management skills and academic self-efficacy on students' academic performance. Through case studies and literature reviews, the interplay between these two factors and potential optimization pathways are examined. The findings reveal that time management skills have a significant positive impact on university students' academic performance, while self-efficacy amplifies the effectiveness of time management by enhancing learning motivation. A notable synergistic relationship exists between the two, yet some students exhibit deficiencies in time planning and confidence-building, which affect the stability of academic performance. Simultaneous improvement in time managementskills and academic self-efficacy through comprehensive strategies fosterstheir positive interaction, contributing to academic success and holistic development in university students.
