Abstract

There are several chores that must be completed over the course of a day by every human being, whether or not they are employed. Alternatively, procrastination is the inclination to postpone or delay particular tasks. In terms of interpsychic physical and social environments, personality refers to the collection of psychological qualities and components within a person that are arranged and generally durable. Academic procrastination and personality traits are viewed as important factors in classroom success. Many studies on students have focused on procrastination and personality traits. Personality traits, academic performance, and psychological well-being have been linked to procrastination. Academic procrastination has been connected to a person's personality in current studies. Academic procrastination raises a variety of issues that must be addressed. Despite previous research, personality still has an impact on academic procrastination. Students of all ages and educational backgrounds should be given more attention.
