There is not much literature available on the relationship between procrastination, self-efficacy and personality, however there is ample literature available on these topics individually. • According to a study conducted by Steel (2007), university Students who found tasks more intrinsically rewarding and tended to experience pleasure and satisfaction while doing them were more likely to maintain steady progress. But if the task was perceived as difficult enough to not complete, they were more likely to procrastinate. Even believing that something was important to one's future did not make it intrinsically rewarding. • Klassen, Ang, Wan Har, Krawchuk, Huan, Wong, (2009) examined academic procrastination in a cross-cultural context and found that Singaporean adolescents reported higher levels of procrastination and lower levels of self-efficacy for self-regulation compared to Canadian adolescents. They found that self-efficacy for self-regulation showed the strongest multivariate relationship with procrastination for adolescents in both contexts, while the relationships between procrastination and motivation variables showed similar patterns in Singapore and Canada. In one study conducted by Wolters (2003), students reported procrastinating more when they considered their tasks challenging or time-consuming or when they were unsure of their abilities to complete them successfully. Not surprisingly, self-efficacy and work avoidance were the strongest predictors of procrastination. A recent study by Arvey, Rotundo, Johnson, and McGue (2003) asked 118 identical twins and 93 fraternal male twins raised in the same family to indicate the degree to which they were procrastinators. Intraclass correlations for…half of paper…skills were not significantly correlated with procrastination scores. Stepwise multiple regression of the facets of the Conscientiousness and Neuroticism factors indicated that lack of Self-Discipline and Impulsivity accounted for most of the variance in procrastination scores. Implications for continued theory development and intervention are discussed. The expected influence of gender on procrastination is difficult to predict. Previous investigations of gender differences and the related construct of self-control have found mixed results (Feingold, 1994). Men may score higher, lower, or the same as women depending on the measure. However, meta-analytic results show that girls score higher on effortful control than boys (Else-Quest, Hyde, Goldsmith, & Van Hulle, 2006). On balance, therefore, one might expect procrastination to be weakly associated with males.
