The literature review that I collated has enabled me to explain the theory on the topic of procrastination, personality and motivation and also with description of the following terms: internality, flow, self-control and self-efficacy, as the motivational factors that I selected for my research. I used an online questionnaire to collect the data, and I processed the data using descriptive statistics. I then presented and interpreted the results and I discussed my findings by answering the research questions. The findings showed there is widespread procrastination in academic environment of the students in research sample. I have made recommendations for elimination of procrastination and a proposal on how to apply the knowledge in the management practice. In the field of work, the students did not show a strong procrastination behavior, so I also came to the conclusion that the procrastination in the research sample depends on the environment. Also, in some cases, there was a slight correlation between the level of procrastination of individual types of procrastinators and the selected factors. |
