Full textAbstract:
The practice of psychological counseling with adults who have children, and psychological work with children shows that the postponement of kid things by parents occurs often. As a result of procrastination of parents in interaction with children (parental procrastination) there are negative psychological consequences for parents and children. In psychological science, much attention is paid to the problem of human procrastination, but the procrastination of parents in the interaction of children is not studied. Available studies consider the parent-child relationship only as a cause of procrastination of the child. The article raises the problem of studying procrastination of a parent in interaction with a child (parental procrastination). The psychological features of general procrastination and parental procrastination are compared. Parental procrastination is associated with specific time intervals that require specific actions from the parent. They consciously tolerate interaction with the child often hiding behind objec-tive circumstances. Adults understand the negative consequences of procrastination, such as changing relationships with the child, reducing the level of trust of the child to them, subjective discomfort caused by understanding the negative consequences of procrastination for the child. Analyzing scientific data on the problem of General human procrastination, we develop and justify an approach to the study of parental procrastination. Procrastination is associated with a violation of self-regulation. Violation of self-regulation activities requires: a) the study of self-procrastinate parents, motivation, personality traits, emotional-volitional and cognitive spheres of personality, unconscious mental mechanisms of self-regulation; b) define the relationship of personal characteristics with the characteristics of goal setting (planning), assessment of internal and external conditions of activity (modeling), programming their actions, evaluation of the result, correction of actions and approval of the goal. Considering parental procrastination as a particular psychological problem, it is proposed: a) to consider it in connection with sociological characteristics (family composition, age characteristics of family members), family traditions, experience of family life of parents (number of marriages), etc.; b) through the system of human relations (to oneself, to others, to business; parent-child relations, intergenerational relations). The methodological unity of the categories "attitude" and "self-regulation" of activity allows us to create a holistic theoretical model of the study of parental procrastination. The model is presented in the conclusion of the article in a structure form. The analysis allows outlining the directions of psychological counseling work with procrastinating parents: work on taking responsibility for decisions in their vital activity; formation of self-regulation skills of activity; formation of emotional regulation skills.

Abstract. Procrastination at work has been examined relatively scarcely, partly due to the lack of a globally validated and context-specific workplace procrastination scale. This study investigates the psychometric characteristics of the Procrastination at Work Scale (PAWS) among 1,028 office employees from seven countries, namely, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. Specifically, it was aimed to test the measurement invariance of the PAWS and explore its discriminant validity by examining its relationships with work engagement and performance. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis shows that the basic factor structure and item loadings of the PAWS are invariant across countries. Furthermore, the two subdimensions of procrastination at work exhibited different patterns of relationships with work engagement and performance. Whereas soldiering was negatively related to work engagement and task performance, cyberslacking was unrelated to engagement and performance. These results indicate further validity evidence for the PAWS and the psychometric characteristics show invariance across various countries/languages. Moreover, workplace procrastination, especially soldiering, is a problematic behavior that shows negative links with work engagement and performance.

Introduction. The present article is devoted to the study of the procrastination severity in medical university students with different personality orientation, as well as to a comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis of this phenomenon. The aim of the current research is to investigate the procrastination severity in medical university students depending on the personality orientation. Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis of the study is the fundamental principles of the personality psychology, developed in the Russian psychology by A. N. Leontiev, S. L. Rubinstein. The personality orientation was considered on the basis of the provisions formulated by A. S. Makarenko, A. N. Leontiev, V. N. Myasishchev, K. K. Platonov. To understand the phenomenon of procrastination, the authors implemented the provisions articulated by Ya. I. Varvarycheva, E. L. Mikhailova, N. A. Shukhov. C. Lei’s procrastination scale was used in order to study the procrastination level. Personality orientation was examined with the use of the questionnaire developed by V. Smekal and M.Kucher.The obtained results were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics, in particular, the Kruskal–Wallis test, and Spearman’s rank correlation test. The sample included 96 students of the 1st-2nd years of education (average age is 19.5) of the Irkutsk State Medical University. Results. The distribution of medical students by the level of severity of procrastination is determined. It is demonstrated that this category of students is characterised by an average and high level of a partial or constant tendency to delay the implementation of important matters and making decisions, consciously postponing the implementation of leading activity. The business orientation of the personality, manifested in the predominance of motives associated with the activity itself and with the enthusiasm for the activity, dominates in students. It was estimated that students characterised by personal, business and interaction orientation are statistically significantly different by the severity of procrastination, while the students focused on communication and interaction are characterised by a higher level of procrastination. The prevalence of social networks, the availability of mobile communications and the Internet create the basis for the implementation of the communication need with the use of virtual communication, and simultaneously is an obstacle to the implementation of leading activities. For students with a personality orientation, it is most difficult to correlate their own needs and the need to care responsibilities, such a dissonance of tasks and leading motives activates procrastinating behaviour. Scientific novelty. The levels of procrastination among medical students are revealed. It is established that differences in the severity of procrastinating behaviour depends on the dominant orientation of the person (personal orientation, business orientation, interaction orientation). It is stated that students with an interaction orientation, inclined to show interest in people, attentiveness to interpersonal relations, have a higher level of procrastinating behaviour. It is revealed for the first time that the focus on communication with other people is a personal predictor of procrastinating behaviour among medical students. Practical significance. The research results allow for the determination of strategies and formulation of recommendations on correcting procrastination, as well as prevention of procrastination. The research findings can be employed to organise targeted psychological work with students of medical universities.

Abstract Procrastination as putting off until tomorrow what one had intended to do today is well-known tendency in everyday life. In an attempt to understand the character of procrastination in different life-domains, a large body of research has been accumulated over the last decades. This article was aimed to evaluate a specific decisional procrastination of school-to-work transition (SWT) that is treated as maturity postponement. Two studies are reported examining SWT procrastination defined as career indecision among Polish students graduating universities. In Study 1 (N=366), attitudinal and identity statuses were analyzed as correlates of career procrastination. A path analysis conducted for the model, which was aimed to explain the influence of career self-efficacy and occupational commitment on career indecision (dependent variable), revealed its very good fitness (RMSEA=.000). Those two independent variables explain 10% of career indecision variance. Stepwise multiple regression analyses conducted to ascertain relationship of five identity statuses (Brzezińska, Piotrowski, 2010) to procrastination measure (career indecision) showed that Commitment Making and Ruminative Exploration are strongest predictor variables. In study 2 (N=157), the stepwise multiple regression analyses conducted to ascertain the independent relationship of each of Big Five personality factor revealed that Neuroticism and Extraversion accounts of the most of explained variance of school-to-work transition procrastination.

Full textAbstract:
Ubiquitous online learning is continuing to expand, and the factors affecting success and educational sustainability need to be quantified. Procrastination is one of the compelling characteristics that students observe as a failure to achieve the weaker outcomes. Past studies have mainly assessed the behaviors of procrastination by describing explanatory work. Throughout this research, we concentrate on predictive measures to identify and forecast procrastinator students by using ensemble machine learning models (i.e., Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Gradient Boosting, and Forest). Our results indicate that the Gradient Boosting autotuned is a predictive champion model of high precision compared to the other default and hyper-parameterized tuned models in the pipeline. The accuracy we enumerated for the VALIDATION partition dataset is 91.77 percent, based on the Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistics. Additionally, our model allows teachers to monitor each procrastinator student who interacts with the web-based e-learning platform and take corrective action on the next day of the class. The earlier prediction of such procrastination behaviors would assist teachers in classifying students before completing the task, homework, or mastery of a skill, which is useful and a path to developing a sustainable atmosphere for education or education for sustainable development.

Procrastination in the academic institution is not new since it prevails from students even to staff. This might create problems, especially in the individual’s output. This study analyzed the relationship, procrastination level, and the work productivity of academic staff from a tertiary education institution in Central Luzon, Philippines. Using a convenience sampling technique, 70 academic staff took part in the survey. This study used a descriptive-correlational design with an adapted questionnaire from McCloskey (2011) and Buuri (2015) as an instrument. For the statistical analysis, the study used SPSS 23 to analyze the gathered data. The study found that the academic staff “often” subject themselves to procrastination, and they “agree” that they are productive in their work. There were significant differences found in the procrastination level and work productivity of the academic staff when grouped according to sex, civil status, and years in service. In terms of relationship, the study confirmed a low direct relationship between the level of procrastination and work productivity of the academic staff. Based on the aforementioned results, the researcher provided some implications for the institution to consider.

Full textAbstract:
A common problem among students is the problem of delaying important work activities, which is conceptualized as procrastination. Since procrastination can cause considerable costs for society, we would like to find a method to effectively alleviate the symptoms of this conditioning. It has been proven in an earlier study that staying in the forest environment increases vitality and reduces anxiety, and the negative state of these features can be associated with the intensification of procrastination symptoms. Therefore, it is likely that watching a forest video may decrease the probability or intensity of procrastination. To measure the impact of the forest environment on the level of procrastination of the subjects, a randomized experiment was carried out, in which the subjects watched in random order (on different days) one of two 15-min videos: one showing a walk in the forest area and one showing a walk in an urban environment (control). We measured the level of so-called ‘fluid procrastination’ including three aspects: ‘lack of energy to do the work’, ‘inability to get to work’ and ’pessimistic attitude to do the work’ with a set of questions the respondents completed before and after the experiment. The results showed that one aspect of fluid procrastination (‘pessimistic attitude to do the work’) can be effectively lowered by watching a video showing the forest environment. In contrast, watching a video of an urban environment increased the procrastination levels for two other aspects of procrastination (‘lack of energy to do the work’, ‘inability to get to work’). We also measured three other parameters before and after the experiment: mood state, restoration and vitality. Watching the video from forest area raised mood and restoration and watching the video from urban area, decreased mood, vitality and restoration. The study suggests that watching a video showing forest landscapes could be used as an effective remedy for problems related to procrastination among students.

Full textAbstract:
The present study looks into examining if an employee’s consideration of future consequences or cultural values better predict their procrastination at work. A total of 253 participants from various parts of the globe were examined via an online survey utilizing the Considerations of Future Consequences Scale (Strathman et al., 2013), Behavior Identification Form (Vallacher & Wegner, 1989), CVScale for cultural values (Yoo et al., 2011), and Irrational Procrastination Scale (Steel, 2010). Work procrastination was found to be negatively correlated to consideration of future consequences, where those with higher levels of consideration of future consequences were found to have lower levels of work procrastination. In addition, more abstract or high-level personal agency was found to be positively correlated to consideration of future consequences and negatively correlated to work procrastination. Furthermore, a positive relationship was found between work procrastination and the cultural values of masculinity and power distance, where those with higher levels of these cultural values had higher levels of work procrastination. Lastly, consideration of future consequences was found to be a better predictor for work procrastination than cultural values. Possible explanations of the results are discussed, limitations of the study are mentioned, and recommendations for future studies are suggested.

Mestrado em Gestão de Recursos HumanosApesar do impacto da procrastinação (ato de adiar "para depois") quer para os indivíduos quer para as organizações, a maioria dos estudos existentes foi desenvolvida em ambiente académico. O presente estudo visa responder a essa lacuna empírica ao investigar os antecedentes da procrastinação em contexto de trabalho. Dado que diversos estudos têm vindo a evidenciar a necessidade de se considerar como antecedentes da procrastinação quer fatores de personalidade quer fatores situacionais, incluiu-se neste estudo a extroversão e o tédio no trabalho como preditores deste fenómeno tão prevalente. O presente estudo, suportado num inquérito por questionário, foi conduzido numa amostra de 287 indivíduos. Apesar de os inquiridos não manifestarem níveis elevados de procrastinação no trabalho, nem de tédio no trabalho, foi possível concluir que o tédio no trabalho é um preditor das duas dimensões da procrastinação no trabalho: o soldiering e o cyberslacking. Concluiu-se ainda que os indivíduos mais extrovertidos têm menos comportamentos de soldiering. De sublinhar que não se encontraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre homens e mulheres no que diz respeito à procrastinação no trabalho. Em contrapartida, existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas ao nível da idade e das habilitações literárias. Os inquiridos na faixa etária dos 26 aos 30 anos e mais escolarizados são os que mais recorrem ao cyberslacking como forma de procrastinar no trabalho.
Despite the impact of procrastination (the act of postponing "until later") on both individuals and organizations, most of the existing studies have been developed in an academic environment. This study aims to respond to this empirical gap by investigating the history of procrastination in the workplace. Given that several studies have highlighted the need to consider both personality and situational factors as precedents for procrastination, this study included extroversion and boredom at work as predictors of this highly prevalent phenomenon. This study, based on a questionnaire survey, was conducted on a sample of 287 individuals. Although the respondents did not show high levels of procrastination at work or boredom at work, we concluded that boredom at work is a predictor of the two dimensions of procrastination at work: soldiering and cyberslacking. It was also concluded that the most extrovert individuals have less soldiering behavior. It should be noted that no statistically significant differences were found between men and women with regard to procrastination at work. On the other hand, there are statistically significant differences in age and educational attainment. Respondents aged 26 to 30 and with higher education are those who use cyberslacking as a way of procrastinating at work.

Föreliggande kvantitativa studie ämnade undersöka om det fanns några skillnader i prokrastinering och upplevd stress mellan heltidsstuderande kvinnor och män vid högskola/universitet med eller utan arbete vid sidan om studierna, samt sambandet mellan prokrastinering och upplevd stress. Som mätinstrument utformades en internetenkät utifrån Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) och Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). Enkäten spreds via Facebook där deltagarna, 164 studenter varav 82 kvinnor och 82 män, valdes ut genom ett bekvämlighetsurval. Resultatet visade att studenter som arbetar extra prokrastinerar i mindre utsträckning än de som inte arbetar, samt att kvinnor prokrastinerar mer än män. Resultatet visade även att studenter som arbetar extra upplevde sig vara mindre stressade än de som inte arbetar, samt att kvinnor upplevde sig mer stressade än män. Det förelåg ett starkt positivt samband mellan prokrastinering och upplevd stress för samtliga undersökningsgrupper, och när det kontrollerades för stress försvann effekterna av kön och att arbeta extra. Upplevd stress är därmed en av flera bakomliggande faktorer som spelar en viktig roll när det kommer till om individen prokrastinerar eller inte.The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine if there were any differences regarding procrastination and perceived stress between full-time female and male college students with or without work parallel to their studies, as well as the relationship between procrastination and perceived stress. A web-based questionnaire was designed based on Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). The survey was shared on Facebook where the participants, 164 students of which 82 women and 82 men, were selected by convenience sampling. The result of the study showed that students who worked extra procrastinates less than students without work, and that women procrastinates more than men. The result also showed that students who worked extra were less stressed than students without work, and that women were more stressed than men. There was a strong positive correlation between procrastination and perceived stress for all groups in the study. Moreover, the effects of gender and extra work on procrastination disappeared when stress was statistically controlled for. This indicate that underlying factors, such as stress, can play an important role in procrastination.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.The MBA programme at the USB comprises two main parts, namely coursework and a research report. Students need to successfully complete both in order to graduate; however, a percentage of students are unsuccessful in that they either a) fail to complete the coursework as well as the research report, or b) successfully complete the coursework but fail to complete the research report. Those in the first category manage to cut their losses by preventing further expenditure of resources; however, those in the second category risk failure after full investment of time and money. The USB has seen an increase in the number of students from the second category; it is an undesirable outcome which needs to be addressed at the institutional and individual level. This research report aims to assist the USB in gaining more insight into this problem, and in addressing it effectively. Since the students themselves are pivotal in the MBA research phase, the research for this report took the form of live, in-depth interviews with MBA students at the USB who have successfully completed their coursework, but have not submitted their research report. The semi-structured interviews were based on themes highlighted in the literature on academic non-completion and delay. The most prominent contributing factors identified, were: a) inadequate preparation for research, which impacted on self-efficacy, i.e. the student’s belief in his/her own research competence; b) student motivation levels, which are influenced by the lack of intrinsic motivation to study, and by perceiving the research report to be irrelevant to their goals; c) timing of topic choice, which some felt came too early and did not allow an informed choice, and which others felt came too late and reduced the research time; and d) the lack of structure and deadlines during the research phase, which was problematic given the students’ expressed need for external pressure to prioritise the research report. In the light of the above factors, suitable recommendations are made on how the USB could address the problem.

A certain level of work stress in the workplace can encourage individuals to work harder and to achieve their goals, working level, and self-equirement. However,excessive work pressure often leads to an individual's anxiety and oppression and increase one's willingness to quit. Under the same pressure of work stress, some give in and some succeed; the reason behind this depends on the individual's attitude and ability to adapt.It is crucial to complete today's task without any delay in this fast-moving world. Yet,tardiness still has a negative impact in the workplace. This study examines the relationship between work stress, self-efficacy and procrastination. The researcher distributed questionnaires to 283 mployees from the Ministry of Labor are the participants of this study. Their responses are analyzed while work stress is the independent variable, self-efficacy is the dependent variable, and passive procrastination is the mediation variable. The following are concluded from the analyses. 1. Work stress has a significant negative impact on self-efficacy. 2. Work stress has a significant positive impact on passive procrastination. 3. Passive procrastination has a significant negative impact on self-efficacy. 4 .Passive procrastination psychology and its sub-facial aspects have a mediating

The emphasis in this research was on the perception of job ambiguity since it is believed to produce an uncomfortable psychological state that is likely to be avoided by procrastination. In addition, the aspects of the work situation that give rise to the perception of job ambiguity as well as the personal characteristics of the individual employee that inhibit or enhance these effects were considered in explaining procrastination behavior at work Employees of a large petrochemical company in Venezuela served as subjects in the present study. Employees' perceptions regarding the ambiguity experienced in their jobs, work-related information received, and predisposition to procrastinate were obtained from each focal employee by means of a questionnaire The results indicated that the basic assumptions of the model were not supported. Perceived job ambiguity did not account for variance in supervisors' ratings of subordinates' procrastination behavior. Furthermore, results showed that neither predisposition to procrastinate nor work-related experience moderated this relationship. However, certain situational factors in the model, notably job exception and contingency information, were found to be related to procrastination behavior. In addition, all aspects of perceived job ambiguity were related to employees' self-report of their own procrastination Under conditions of high job feedback, an employee's predisposition to procrastinate moderated the effect of scheduling information on procrastination behavior. Similarly, the effect of evaluation information was found to be moderated by predisposition to procrastinate under conditions of high job ambiguity. In instances of either high or low job analyzability, predisposition to procrastinate moderated the effect of method information on procrastination behavior Finally, a new construct was also examined based on a principal component analysis performed on the procrastination behavior scale. This construct was referred to here as 'autonomy procrastination' and the main regression analyses performed on the procrastination behavior construct were reexamined on this dependent measure All results were interpreted for each construct in this study and potential alternative explanations were provided where unexpected findings were obtained.

This study was aimed to develop the Work Procrastination Tendency Inventory (WPTI), and verify the unfluence of procrastination tendency and work autonomy on work performance for Company Chief Counselors. Participants of 100 people was tested for item analysis of the scale in pretest stage, and of 230 people was tested for testing hypothesis and establishing the reliability and validity of the WPTI. The results of exploratory factor analysis indicated that the WPTI includes four subscales: self-handicapping, low conscientiousness, poor self-discipline, and the pursuit of perfection, and has good reliability and validity for follow-up research. 230 company chief counselors were participated to investigate the causal relationship of procrastination tendency, work autonomy, and work performance. The results suggested as the followings: 1. low sense of responsibility had significant negative correlation with overall work performance; 2. the pursuit of perfection had significant negative correlation with overall work performance; 3. work method autonomy had significant positive correlation with overall work performance; 4. work scheduling autonomy had significant potive correlation with overall work performance; 5. work goal autonomy had significant potive correlation with overall work performance; 6. overall work autonomy had significant potive correlation with overall work performance; 7. the pursuit of perfection and the work scheduling autonomy have predictive effects on overall work performance. Finally, applications of WPTI, and suggestions for future study were discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Academic procrastination is a fact related to the delay or postpone of academic work until last minute. This phenomenon is evident in a vast majority of university students, and its occurrence is increasing. In order to analyse possible causes and/or solutions, we studied if longer time for accomplishing an assignment incentives or avoids procrastination among university students. Results showed that both short and long time-frame groups tended to procrastinate in the same way. Additionally, academic grades did not revealed differences between groups, as the procrastination was the same between groups. Thus, this study shows that even with longer period of time to accomplish a task, university students tend to procrastinate, and thus seem to have a negative effect on their assignment grades. Therefore, it seems a current problem and measures should be developed in order to solve it.
