Keywords:
Self-efficacy, Academic procrastination, Final-year studentsAbstract
Background: Academic procrastination is one of the common problems experienced by final-year students during the completion of their final academic projects. Delaying academic tasks may hinder study completion and negatively affect students' academic achievement. One of the internal factors assumed to be associated with academic procrastination is self-efficacy. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination among final-year university students. Method: This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 149 final-year students from the Faculty of Psychology at University X, selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used were the modified General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) adapted to the context of final-year students and an Academic Procrastination Scale based on Ferrari’s theory. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation. Results: The results revealed a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination (r = -0.550; p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings indicate that students with higher levels of self-efficacy tend to exhibit lower levels of academic procrastination. Conversely, students with lower self-efficacy are more likely to engage in academic procrastination. The findings suggest that self-efficacy is an important psychological factor that contributes to reducing academic procrastination among final-year students.
