Effective time management can be enhanced through electronic information systems. Time management was not given much attention by researchers, in banking sector. Meanwhile, the Jordanian banking sector has little concern of time management, which can lead to the decrease of cu tomers, and this will reflect negatively on the banks' comparative advantages. Strategic planning has now become one of the most important elements of management, and it helps towards the development of banks, and time management can be enhanced through strategic planning. Therefore, the study aims to examine the impact of strategic planning on time management of Jordanian commercial banks, through the mediating factor of electronic information system.

The validity and reliability of the measurement and the structural models were confirmed. The results show that strategic planning and electronic information system positively affect time management, while strategic planning positively affects electronic information systems. Also, the results show that electronic information system mediates the relationship between strategic planning an time management. The study concluded that the banking sector in Jordan should be supported to determine the degree of strategic planning, and the designing of the strategic plan for continuous improvement and quality. According to the findings of this research, the study come up with recommendation that: Jordanian commercial banks should continue to improve the practice of startegic planning.
