What is already known?


Procrastination tends to give huge impact to people's life specially students during school days.
Mañana habit can sometimes leads to spontaneous and bizarre events yet also results most of the
time to an eminent disaster. This behavior affects all aspects of human life at different degrees
just like how many students struggle in meeting the deadline of a certain activity. Such research
for the causes of procrastination link to academic performance is unending. Lots of researches
have their own different testimonies on the factor that causes students Mañana habit in relation to
poor school performance. One claimed that Mañana Habit can possibly be caused by mentally-
related factors that happens to the students who have the habit of procrastinating. Another theory
that has received the most attention as variables investigated about the cause of procrastination is
said to be the personal characteristics such as self-regulation, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. For
some, surrounding's atmosphere may trigger delays specially crowded and unorganized.
Similarly, the entire unattractive physical structure of the school building could demotivate
learners to achieve academically. Despite all these claims and theories, the dilemma on the
student's academic performance in relation to procrastination continued to pursue its way in,
asserting that there may be still missing clues and links to the contribution of a student's recent
struggles in this particular behavior.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Academic Procrastination: The Influencing Factors among Students


Baliling, Cabanlit, Luce, Nacua, Paalisbo

General Introduction
Academic procrastination is a behaviour that most Filipinos possess. It is a practice of cramming
and sometimes even leads to the failure of accomplishing tasks. It is more executed in saying
“Later” or “Tomorrow.” This behavior can be traced back to the Spaniards who invaded our
country for about 300 years. Academic procrastination refers to enactment of putting off work to
be done in the near future when it can be done now, which is why we find ourselves working
until the last minute just so we can meet the deadline when we had more than enough time. We
are ought to bring this habit with us to the workplace or in school.
Academic procrastination can lead to poor time management. If students will not eradicate this
kind of habit, it will affect their work and academic performance and it may cause stress.
Academic procrastination is one of the big barriers in academic performance. It delays and
deprives the student’s performance that can cause failed grades. When the teacher will give a
particular task to do, they tend to be so relaxed because the deadline of passing those
requirements is still far approaching. When the deadline is near, that’s the time that they are
going to make those projects. There is a great possibility that they might not be able to comply
all those projects in time or worse, they will no longer do it for some teachers will no longer
accept late projects. Due to those matters, students may get lower grades and can probably fail in
class.
As what other authors think about academic procrastination, we do agree on some points that
they had discussed for it really did happened before, now, and can still be a problem in the
future. As Pepoa (2013) said that academic procrastination is considered as “procrastination
virus” in which it has a lot of negative effects. It can affect many major aspects in life such as in
workplace, productivity as a person, efficiency in work, proficiency in terms of academics, and
even the economic growth as a whole. Thus, making it a major dilemma in which we, the
researchers, hope to solve.
Although some authors may say that this isn't really a major problem to society, the researchers
still believe that the importance of conducting this study is heavy for the reason that it is
affecting the academic performances of students which may lead to even worse situations in the
future. The researchers also believe that everyone must not compromise this kind of problem
because this could greatly affect not only to one person but also to the productivity as a whole.
It is for the reason that this research aims to determine the influencing factors of academic
procrastination among students. The purpose of this study is to analyse how parents, peers, and
teachers affect the student’s academic procrastination.
The results of this study will show the influencing factors that lead to the respondents’
academic procrastination. This study will help students in managing their time.

Academic Procrastination: The Influencing Factors among Students

General Discussion

Academic procrastination is one of the behaviour that most Filipinos acquire. It is the enactment
of doing school related tasks on a “later” basis which is why students found themselves on a
cramming state.
Although some students would think academic procrastination as an advantage for they believe
that the more urgent the work is, the faster their brain would function, it could still affect their
productivity and efficiency as a person and this could lead to even worse situations in the future,
especially in work. Moreover, not all people had the capability to think faster in a cramming
state.
As what other authors think about academic procrastination, we do agree on some points that
they had discussed for it really did happened before, now, and can still be a problem in the
future. It can affect many major aspects in life such as in workplace, productivity as a person,
efficiency in work, proficiency in terms of academics, and even the economic growth as a whole.
Academic procrastination is one of the big barriers in academic performance. It delays and
deprives the student’s performance that can cause failed grades. When the teacher will give a
particular task to do, they tend to be so relaxed because the deadline of passing those
requirements is still far approaching. When the deadline is near, that’s the time that they are
going to make those projects. There is a great possibility that they might not be able to comply
all those projects in time or worse, they will no longer do it for some teachers will no longer
accept late projects. Due to those matters, students may get lower grades and can probably fail in
class.
There are several factors that influence students’ academic performance. This study only focuses
on the three mentioned factors namely family, peers, and teachers.
Family Factor

Family factor refers to the influence of the family in doing academic procrastination
of the students. It is the most common origin in doing procrastination since they can
be found at home. This factor includes how parents discipline their children or how

General Summary

Academic procrastination, is a behaviour that most Filipinos possess. It is a practice of cramming


and sometimes even leads to the failure of accomplishing tasks. It is more executed in saying
“Later” or “Tomorrow.” This behaviour can be traced back to the Spaniards who envaded our
country for about 300 years. Academic procrastination refers to enactment of putting off work to
be done in the near future when it can be done now, which is why we find ourselves working
until the last minute just so we can meet the deadline when we had more than enough time. We
are ought to bring this habit with us to the workplace or in school.

Academic procrastination can lead to poor time management. If students will not eradicate this
kind of habit, it will affect their work and academic performance and it may cause stress.

Academic procrastination is one of the big barriers in academic performance. It delays and
deprives the student’s performance that can cause failed grades. When the teacher will give a
particular task to do, they tend to be so relaxed because the deadline of passing those
requirements is still far approaching. When the deadline is near, that’s the time that they are
going to make those projects. There is a great possibility that they might not be able to comply
