Abstract :
The time bounded life of modern era has
forced people to execute work and tasks in a timely
manner with stipulated deadlines for everything. In this
environment of constant tension, competition and
multitasking there may have this desire or need delay
completion of work given for later. This tendency of
delaying workuntil the last moments of the deadline is
called 'Procrastination'. This subjective change in
procrastination is ought to study through this research
on the basis of the five-factor model of personality. This
behaviour of striving for perfectionism is different
among people and hence this study also focuses on
perfectionism among different personality domains.
Method:
SAMPLE
N = 158
Male = 67
Females =86
Research Design: The design used in the study is
correlational research design to see if there is any
relationship between the variables; procrastination,
personality and perfectionism without controlling or
manipulating any of them.
Tools:
General Procrastination Scale (GPS)
NEO Five-Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992).
The Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale
(1990)
Result: The correlational findings of the study indicate
that the variable procrastination has a significant
(P<0.01) positive correlation with personality factors
neuroticism and conscientiousness. Our study also
suggests that there is a significant (P<0.01) negative
correlation between procrastination and extroversion,
which has no consistency with previous studies reviewed.
According to this study, perfectionism has a significant
(P<0.01) and positive relationship with
conscientiousness. Another major finding of the study is
that there is a significant (P<0.01) negative correlation
between perfectionism and the agreeableness factor.
The implication of the study: The study examines the
investigation of personality correlates of procrastination
and perfectionism among adolescents. The finding of the
study may be helpful in teaching and school counselling
areas to introduce different student development
interventions relating to procrastination among
adolescent students
