SUMMARY:

Public service exams are the method through which the Brazilian public administration selects its workforce, encompassing both civilian and police/military organizations. Research indicates that cognitive and socio-emotional skills directly influence academic and professional success, such as time management, personality traits, and self-efficacy, which enable individuals to plan tasks effectively, maximize productivity, demonstrate persistence, maintain motivation, and have a positive perception of their abilities. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between time management, the achievement factor of personality, and self-efficacy among individuals preparing for public service exams in military and police fields. The sample consisted of 107 candidates from Rio de Janeiro, aged 18 to 48. To measure the variables, the following instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the long version of Barkley's Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS) to evaluate Time Management, the Factorial Personality Battery (BFP) to analyze the Achievement Factor, and the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE) to assess self-efficacy. Results revealed a predominance of female and single participants, with most showing interest in Armed Forces exams. Additionally, 68 participants reported prior approval in previous exams, and 56% were preparing for exams while holding a paid job. The average score for Time Management was 37.42, while the average for Self-Efficacy was 23.48. A medium-level classification in the Personality Achievement Factor was obtained by 33.6% of the candidates. A weak negative correlation was found between Time Management and Self-Efficacy, a weak positive correlation between Self-Efficacy and the Achievement Factor, and a moderate negative correlation between Time Management and the Achievement Factor. It is hoped that the results of this study contribute to discussions about the characteristics and profiles of candidates in the public security field, as well as the development of intervention strategies to enhance performance and mental health.
