ABSTRACT
Title: A Systematic Review : Academic Procrastination, Personality Traits and
Academic Achievement of College Students
This review explores the intricate relationship between academic procrastination, the
Big Five personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and
Neuroticism), and academic achievement. Academic procrastination, characterized by the
voluntary delay of academic tasks, has been widely recognized as a detrimental behavior with
negative consequences for students' academic success. On the other hand, the Big Five
personality traits, is widely studied for their influence on different spheres of individuals'
lives, including academic performance. The review delves into the concept of academic
procrastination, its prevalence across college students, and its detrimental effects on academic
outcomes. Subsequently, the review delves into the theoretical framework of the Big Five
personality traits, providing an overview of each trait and its relevance to academic behavior
and performance. The existing literature is synthesized to elucidate the correlations between
academic procrastination and each of the Big Five personality traits. While findings may vary
across studies, a recurrent pattern suggests that higher levels of Neuroticism and lower levels
of Conscientiousness are greatly associated with increased academic procrastination
tendencies. Additionally, some studies highlight the moderating effects of Openness,
Extraversion, and Agreeableness on the procrastination-academic achievement relationship.
The findings suggest that targeted interventions aimed at addressing specific personality trait
patterns may hold promise in mitigating academic procrastination and improving academic
outcomes.

INTRODUCTION
Procrastination is a common human behavior that involves voluntarily choosing to
engage in activities that are more enjoyable or easier in the present moment, while putting off
tasks that are less enjoyable or require effort. Academic procrastination refers to the act of
putting off responsibilities, such as studying for exams, completing assignments, making
presentations, conducting research. Students frequently engage in this behavior, which can be
detrimental to their academic achievement. Academic procrastinators frequently reaps a sense
of temporary relief or satisfaction from avoiding their tasks in the short term. On the contrary,
over time, this behavior may culminate in elevated anxiousness, stress, and decreased
productivity.
Academic procrastination can be caused by a range of factors like lack of motivation,
perfectionism, or a fear of failing. Procrastination can also be influenced by outside variables
like distractions like social media or leisure activities. The constant notifications, updates,
and the allure of scrolling through feeds can quickly divert attention and make it difficult to
stay focused on studying or completing assignments.

Students at all educational levels, including in elementary school, middle school, high school,
college (undergraduate), and graduate school, have been found to engage in academic
procrastination. For instance, research indicates that between 80% and 85% of college
students postpone to some extent, with about 75% of them self-identifying as procrastinators
and about 50% reporting persistent and severe procrastination(Steel, P., 2007). In fact,
students are famous for procrastinating to the point where the propensity to put off duties
until the last minute is frequently referred to as the "student syndrome."

Personality refers to a set of underlying traits that determine how an individual typically
behaves, thinks and feels. (McGeown et al.2014)

In academic contexts, personality is valued as a significant individual resource and has a

significant impact on students' academic success.

The Big Five Trait Model (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and
openness) by Coast and McCrae has been used by the majority of researchers in recent years
to investigate and correlate personality traits and college achievement.

The five factors in the Big Five model are often remembered using the acronym OCEAN.
(verywellmind.com) Openness to Experience reflects the tendency towards novelty,
imagination, and intellectual curiosity. People high on this trait tend to be creative, open-
minded, and willing to explore new ideas and experiences. People low in this dimension are
often more traditional, conservative, and prefer routine and familiarity. Conscientiousness
refers to the degree of organization, responsibility, and self-discipline in an individual.
Conscientious individuals are generally reliable, efficient, and goal-oriented. They tend to be
well-organized, diligent, and plan ahead. On the other hand, individuals low in
conscientiousness are more spontaneous, careless, and may have a more relaxed approach to
life. Extraversion represents the extent to which a person is outgoing, sociable, and energized
by social interactions. Extraverts tend to be assertive, talkative, and seek stimulation from
their external environment. They enjoy being around people and are often energized by social
activities. Introverts, on the other hand, are more reserved, introspective, and prefer quieter,
more solitary activities. Agreeableness reflects an individual's tendency to be compassionate,
cooperative, and considerate of others. People high in agreeableness are generally friendly,
empathetic, and cooperative. They value harmonious relationships and are often described as
kind-hearted. Those low in agreeableness may be more competitive, skeptical, and less
concerned about others' needs. Neuroticism (also known as Emotional Stability) measures the
tendency to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, and emotional
instability. Individuals high in neuroticism are more likely to experience worry, mood swings,
and higher levels of emotional reactivity. In contrast, individuals low in neuroticism are
generally more emotionally stable, resilient, and have a greater capacity to handle stress.

RATIONALE
The rationale for conducting a systematic review on the topic of academic
procrastination, personality traits, and academic achievement of college students stems from
the growing recognition of the detrimental impact of procrastination on students' educational
outcomes. Academic procrastination is a prevalent issue among college students and has been
associated with negative consequences such as decreased academic performance, increased
stress, and reduced overall well-being.

Personality traits, on the other hand, represent stable individual differences that can influence
how students approach their academic responsibilities, manage their time, and cope with the
demands of college life. Exploring the relationship between personality traits and academic
procrastination can provide valuable insights into why certain students are more prone to
procrastination tendencies and help develop strategies to mitigate this behavior.

While academic procrastination has been extensively studied, there is a need for a
comprehensive synthesis of the existing literature to provide a cohesive understanding of the
relationship between academic procrastination, personality traits, and academic achievement
among college students. By conducting a systematic review, we can critically analyze and
evaluate a wide range of studies, encompassing different methodologies, sample sizes, and
contexts, to derive meaningful conclusions and identify potential patterns or discrepancies in
the findings.
Furthermore, investigating the role of personality traits in academic procrastination is crucial
as it can help elucidate the underlying mechanisms and individual differences associated with
this behavior. Different personality traits, such as conscientiousness, impulsivity,
perfectionism, and self-efficacy, have been hypothesized to influence students' propensity to
procrastinate and their ability to effectively manage academic tasks. Understanding how these
traits interact with academic procrastination and subsequently impact academic achievement
can provide valuable insights for developing targeted interventions and support systems to
mitigate the negative effects of procrastination on students' educational journey.

The review may also inform educational institutions, policymakers, and educators about the
importance of addressing procrastination and fostering a supportive academic environment
that promotes effective time management, self-regulation, and personal growth among
college students.

It can also identify gaps in the current literature, highlight inconsistencies or contradictions in
the findings, and propose avenues for future research.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Tice and Baumeister (1997) studied to examine the long-term effects of procrastination on
performance, stress levels, and health. A sample of college students participated in the study
and responded to surveys at the start and end of a semester. The questionnaires measured the
procrastination, academic achievement, stress, and health consequences of the respondents.
Findings showed that people with higher procrastination rates also had higher levels of stress
and health issues, as well as poorer academic achievement. Increased levels of stress,
particularly tense and anxious feelings, were linked to procrastination. In addition, compared
to people who procrastinate less, chronic procrastinators reported more frequent health issues
and lower general well-being. Intriguingly, the study also discovered that some people
believed procrastination had immediate advantages, such as reduced stress in the immediate
moment. These advantages did not, however, overcome the detrimental long-term effects of
chronic procrastination.
Prioritize the process over the result. Fear takes hold if the mind is focused on how ‘this thing
has to work/be perfect/be accepted"—a thought we cannot control. Concentrate on pushing
the checklist along and continue to take action.

Pychyl et al.(2000) study focused on the detrimental effects of procrastination on academic

achievement and wellbeing. It emphasizes how crucial it is to comprehend the emotional
experiences that accompany procrastination. Undergraduate participants in the study filled
out an electronic journal multiple times a day for five days, recording their feelings at the
moment and indicating whether they were procrastinating or not.The study's findings showed
a strong correlation between procrastination and emotions. Participants claimed they felt
unpleasant feelings including guilt, worry, and irritation more frequently that when
procrastinating as opposed to when not procrastinating. Additional, procrastinating periods
were less likely to be accompanied by positive emotions.
When you feel the desire to act, act right away without giving yourself time to second- guess
yourself. Many people procrastinate because they believe their efforts are in vain. It’s crucial
to address the problem.

Steel, P. (2007) conducted a meta-analysis on the nature of procrastination and synthesized

empirical findings to identify key factors associated with procrastination.The review looks at
the cognitive and emotional processes that underlie procrastination. It explores the relevance
of the temporal motivation theory, which holds that people's propensity to put off tasks
depends on the relative importance they place on immediate vs delayed benefits. The author
also emphasizes the impact of emotional elements on procrastination tendencies, including
negative affect, self-efficacy beliefs, and fear of failure. The repercussions of procrastination
are further examined in the research, including how they affect personal wellbeing as well as
academic and professional outcomes.
Students can also reward themselves with small treats after completing a monotonous task
like doing their college assignments. This will help to change the negative attitude towards
the procrastinating event and boost pleasant feelings of accomplishing the task.

Rosário Costa et al. (2009) aimed to investigate the associations between academic
procrastination and various personal, school, and family variables. The researchers conducted
their study with a sample of college students.Findings showed substantial correlations
between academic procrastination and a number of personal, school, and family factors. For
instance, lower self-efficacy, lower motivation, and poorer self-regulation skills were all
linked to higher levels of academic procrastination. Additionally, students who felt less
support from teachers and who had a poor view of their academic abilities were more
inclined to engage in academic procrastination. Higher degrees of academic procrastination
were also linked to family factors such non-intact family structures and reduced parental
participation.
When completing their work, students should employ the Pomodoro technique which consists
of working in quick bursts (for instance, 25 minutes), then take a 5-minute break. This can
aid in retaining focus and avoiding burnout.

Corkin, D.M. et al. (2011) conducted a study was to investigate the impact of personality
characteristics on academic achievement and motivation in college students. A sample of
college students participated in the study and responded to questionnaires that assessed their
personality traits, academic motivation, and self-reported academic accomplishment. The
results imply that personality traits may influence academic achievement and motivation in
college students. Conscientiousness and openness to new experiences in particular shape
students motivation to excel academically. In order to increase students' motivation and
academic achievement, they emphasize the significance of taking differences in personality
traits into account when building interventions and support programs aimed at enhancing
students' motivation and academic performance.
College students are young adults who relish their newfound freedom. While it's important to
engage in pleasurable activities like going out for movie with friends or going to college trips,
students should not neglect or downplay their academic tasks which eventually piles up and
becomes aversion to them. Bigger tasks should be broken into smaller, simpler pieces.
As a result, the work seems less daunting and more achievable.

Klingsieck, K. B. (2013) sought to determine whether procrastination in academic settings

differs from that in other spheres of life. A sample of university students was used in the
study to self-report their degrees of academic procrastination as well as procrastination in
other areas of their lives, such as personal goals, home tasks, and leisure activities. Findings
showed a positive correlation between academic procrastination and procrastination in other
spheres of life. People who admitted higher levels of academic procrastination were also
more likely to procrastinate in other aspects of their lives. The study also discovered that a
few aspects, including self-control and time management, affected procrastination in various
spheres of life. People who had trouble managing their time and had lower self-control were
more prone to procrastinate, both in academic and non-academic spheres.
Procrastination isn't a character flaw or a personality trait that we just can't change.
There is always an underlying, frequently unconscious notion that keeps us from acting.

The research paper by Rozental and Carlbring (2014) provides a thorough review of
procrastination, exploring its underlying factors and treatment approaches. They explore
many theoretical frameworks and viewpoints on procrastination, such as cognitive-
behavioral, motivational, and affective frameworks. They discuss how procrastination can be
influenced by things like low self-efficacy, fear of failure, perfectionism, and impulsivity. It
emphasizes how procrastination, a typical self-regulatory failure, may be effectively
addressed by using cognitive-behavioral strategies, including self-compassion and
mindfulness, and utilizing digital treatments.

Chooi Seong Lai et al. (2015) conducted exploratory research to investigate the association
between personality traits and procrastination in college students. 148 undergraduate
students(52 males, 96 females) consisted of the sample size. Descriptive analysis revealed
that Diploma Year 2 students are most likely to procrastinate academically than Degree 2 and
Degree 3 students. Degree Year 2 students are most unlikely to procrastinate than Degree year
1 and Degree Year 3 students. Correlation analysis revealed no significant association
between the types of personality and procrastination. Independent sample t-test confirmed no
substantial gender differences in academic procrastination of college students.

Hakan Karatas(2015) studied a sample of college students to determine whether there was
an association between academic procrastination traits and academic achievement. Another
area of interest in this study is determining if academic procrastination, personality traits, and
academic accomplishment change significantly in terms of gender and grades in college
students. The sample size was composed of 475 undergraduate students. The Tuckman’s 16-
item Academic Procrastination Scale (APS) and them Big Five personality trait scale were
the instruments used to collect the data. According to the correlation analysis, academic
achievement is seen to form a positive correlation with conscientiousness and agreeableness.
Academic procrastination is found to have a negative correlation with conscientiousness and
extraversion. Neuroticism is negatively associated with agreeableness while all other
dimensions of personality namely, conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion and
openness are positively associated with each other. In terms of gender, only the big five
personality attribute of extraversion and academic achievement show gender to be a
significant factor, favoring female students. In terms of grades, the third and fourth grade
student’s scored higher in their academics than the second grade students.

Procrastination is a significant problem in generation Z(Gen Z). The great abilities and
intellect of this generation are undeniable, but they are being undermined by poor time
management, a sedentary lifestyle, and unrestrained access to social media and technology.

Kyung Ryung Kim and Eun Hee Seo (2015) conducted a meta-analytical study to
determine the connection between academic achievement and procrastination, Previous
studies had conflicting results. 33 recent relevant studies used in the meta-analysis. Self-
report tools that have an impact on the association were utilized. The correlation between the
two variables, i.e. academic achievement and procrastination, was shown to be negatively
correlated.The results showed that the procrastination measures that were chosen,
performance indicators, as well as demographic characteristics, were the main causes of this
unsuccessful relationship.
Sowon Kim, Sébastein Fernandez, and Lohyd Terrier (2017) undertook a research to
investigate the impact of five personality traits on procrastination as well as the differences
between active and passive procrastination on academic achievement. Samples were gathered
and data was systematically collected and analyzed. Findings revealed that that was a
relationship between active and passive procrastination with the big five dimensions of
personality, but they also showed that some personality traits, such as extraversion and
neuroticism, have a positive relationship with active procrastination. Finally, active
procrastination is more effective at predicting academic performance than passive
procrastination.

Passive procrastinators in the classic sense include those who engage in passive delay. Their
inability to act on decisions hinders their ability to finish assignments on time. Active
procrastinators, on the other hand deliberately choose to work under pressure and
purposefully delay tasks.

Svartdal, F., & Steel, P. (2017) synthesised information from numerous studies that looked
into the connection between the Big Five qualities and academic procrastination through a
thorough meta-analysis. Both assessments of academic procrastination and self-report
personality trait measures were used in the investigations. Findings showed a strong
correlation between a few personality factors and academic procrastination. Particularly, the
results showed a consistent relationship between higher degrees of academic procrastination
and low conscientiousness and high neuroticism. However, the connections between
procrastinating tendencies and characteristics like extraversion, agreeableness, and openness
to experience were weaker or absent altogether

Tamanaifar Reza (2017) sought to examine the relationship between time management and
the five characteristics of personalities and academic procrastination. For the purpose of
conducting the investigation, the required instruments and samples were also present. The
findings demonstrated a positive correlation between both the variables. A positive
correlation between academic procrastination and the five personality traits and time
management abilities was also established.
The key to successfully accomplishing your goals requires managinh your time well. It
facilitates task organisation, prioritisation, avoidance of procrastination, and more efficient
use of time. Postponing tasks frequently leads to missed opportunities and increased stress.
Adopting time management strategies and finishing work on time are necessary to avoid the
detrirmnetal effects of stress on oneself.

Yogi Saraswati et al. (2017) aimed to examine the connection between self-efficacy, the Big
Five personality traits and academic procrastination among college students. 207
undergraduate students were chosen as study participants. Three surveys—the Big Five
Inventory, academic self-efficacy questionnaire, and academic procrastination scale were
completed by the students. Correlation analysis revealed that academic self-efficacy,
extraversion, conscientiousness and neuroticism emerged as the predictors of the academic
procrastination tendencies among undergraduate students. The findings indicated a negative
correlation between academic self-efficacy and academic procrastination. The study also
confirmed that relationship between extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism with
academic procrastination. Conscientiousness and self-efficacy had a negative significant
relationship, whereas neuroticism and extraversion had a positive significant relationship.
Agreeableness and openness were found to be unrelated with academic procrastination.

The research paper by Höcker et al. (2018) provides a meta-analysis of studies examining
the influence of personality traits on academic procrastination. Findings showed a strong
correlation between a few personality factors and academic procrastination. The results
showed that higher levels of academic procrastination were consistently connected with low
conscientiousness and high neuroticism. Additionally, although the impact sizes were
relatively smaller, low extraversion and low agreeableness also shown modest relationships
with academic procrastination.The practical ramifications of these findings are highlighted in
the paper's conclusion. In especially for those with low conscientiousness and high
neuroticism, it shows that interventions focusing on self-regulation abilities and treating
emotional variables may be useful in reducing academic procrastination.
Harshita Khosla(2021) conducted a research to investigate the relationship of academic
procrastination and personality traits in college students. The variables in the study were
academic procrastination and personality traits. The sample size was of 100 students. The
instruments utilised to measure academic procrastination and personality traits, respectively,
were the McCloskey Academic Procrastination Scale and Costa and McRae's NEO-FFI
Personality Inventory. The findings showed that, with the exception of one personality
attribute, conscientiousness, there was no significant correlation between academic
procrastination and personality traits. This implies that people who have high levels of
conscientiousness are more sincere and will demonstrate lower levels of academic
procrastination, whereas people who have low levels of consciousness are less disciplined
and will demonstrate higher levels of procrastination. Additionally, research has shown that,
despite gender variations in personality traits and grade differences in one personality trait,
neuroticism, academic procrastination is unaffected by gender.

It is important to consider self-awareness and understanding one's own personality traits in

order to address procrastination effectively. Individuals with specific personality traits might
benefit from tailored strategies to manage their procrastination tendencies, such as setting
specific goals, creating structured study plans, and practicing time management techniques.

A significant relationship between academic procrastination, the Big Five personality traits,
and academic achievement has therefore been found in the past studies . The findings
emphasize the intricate interplay between personality traits, particularly traits such as
conscientiousness and neuroticism, in predicting the tendency to procrastinate in an academic
setting. Moreover, the study illuminates how these traits, combined with factors like self-
regulation and time management skills, influence overall academic performance.
Recognizing these connections offers valuable insights for educators and students alike,
enabling the development of targeted interventions and strategies to mitigate procrastination
tendencies and enhance academic success.

DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH

Building upon the systematic review, several promising avenues for future research
emerge. Longitudinal studies could illuminate the evolution of academic procrastination,
personality traits, and academic achievement over extended periods, offering deeper insights
into causality and developmental trends. Effective intervention strategies targeting both
procrastination and specific personality traits should be devised and evaluated to gauge their
impact on academic outcomes and long-term behavioral change. Cultural and contextual
influences warrant investigation to ascertain potential variations across diverse societies and
educational contexts. Similarly, delving into the interplay between technology and academic
procrastination could shed light on the role of digital distractions in student behavior.
Exploring neurobiological underpinnings through neuroimaging techniques could uncover the
neural circuits involved in these behaviors. Emphasizing self-regulation, motivation, and
multidimensional factors will provide a more comprehensive understanding of academic
outcomes. Collaboration across disciplines could yield fresh insights, while meta-analyses
and replications will bolster the reliability and generalizability of findings. Ultimately, these
research directions necessitate rigorous methodologies, ethical considerations, and thorough
planning to meaningfully advance our comprehension of the intricate relationship between
academic procrastination, personality traits, and student achievement in higher education.

IMPLICATION

The findings from this research could inform the development of educational
programs that target specific personality traits associated with academic procrastination.
These programs could provide students with effective strategies to manage their time and
tasks more efficiently. Universities and colleges could use the insights gained from this
research to design tailored support services for students who struggle with academic
procrastination. Early identification and intervention could lead to improved academic
outcomes. Understanding the link between personality traits, academic procrastination, and
achievement could influence curriculum design. Educators could incorporate strategies that
accommodate diverse learning styles and address different levels of self-regulation.
Recognizing the connection between personality traits and academic procrastination can lead
to a more holistic approach to student well-being. By addressing underlying traits that
contribute to procrastination, institutions can foster a healthier academic environment. The
research could pave the way for personalized learning approaches that consider individual
personality traits and tendencies. This could lead to more effective teaching methods and
improved student engagement.
In conclusion, future research in this area can delve deeper into the dynamics between
academic procrastination, personality traits, and academic achievement, offering valuable
insights for educators, institutions, and policymakers to enhance student success and well-
being.

CONCLUSION
The present study examined the correlation between academic procrastination, Big
Five personality traits, and academic achievement, aiming to deepen our understanding of the
complex interplay among these variables. The findings from a comprehensive review of
empirical studies shed light on the relationships and implications for educational practices
and interventions.

The analysis revealed a consistent association between academic procrastination and the Big
Five personality traits. Specifically, higher levels of Neuroticism were consistently linked to
increased tendencies of academic procrastination, while lower levels of Conscientiousness
demonstrated a similar relationship. These results suggest that individuals with higher levels
of anxiety and lower levels of self-discipline are more prone to delaying academic tasks.

Moreover, the review highlighted the moderating effects of other personality traits, such as
Openness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness, on the procrastination-academic achievement
relationship. These traits demonstrated varying degrees of influence, suggesting that
individuals with different personality profiles may exhibit distinct patterns of procrastination
behavior and academic outcomes.

The findings underscore the importance of recognizing academic procrastination as a

multifaceted issue influenced by individual differences in personality traits. Educational
institutions and practitioners should take these findings into consideration when designing
interventions and support systems for students. By addressing underlying personality traits
associated with academic procrastination, targeted interventions can help students develop
strategies to overcome procrastination tendencies and improve their academic performance.

In conclusion, this study contributes to the existing literature by consolidating knowledge on

the correlation between academic procrastination, Big Five personality traits, and academic
achievement. The findings emphasize the importance of considering individual differences in
personality when addressing academic procrastination. By tailoring interventions to students'
specific needs and leveraging their unique personality traits, educational institutions can
support students in overcoming procrastination tendencies and fostering better academic
outcomes. Future research should continue to explore these relationships to provide more
nuanced insights and evidence-based strategies for optimizing student success.
