Procrastination and self-organization among university students

The paper presents the results of an empirical study on the relationship between procrastination and self-organization among university students. The survey reveals the average level of procrastination and self-organization in respondents. Having analyzed the relevant indicators depending on gender and department, the authors conclude that females in contrast to males and Psychology Department students compared to Law Department students have strong personal organizational capacities and are less prone to procrastination. The study reveals a significant difference in the development of self-organizing components according to high, average, and low levels of procrastination: the low procrastination leads to the development of the high self-organizing components. Besides, the research identifies the positive relations between the age of students and procrastination (the older the student is, the greater the tendency to procrastination is, and vice versa). Nevertheless, there is a negative relationship of procrastination with the general level of self-organization and its components (the lower propensity to procrastination is, the higher self-organization the students possess, and vice versa).
