Investigating anxiety and time management role in academic procrastination : case of Ibn Khaldoun University EFL department Algeria

Abstract EN

The present research work aims at exploring the aspect of academic procrastination as well the notions of anxiety and time management that are seen to be highly linked to this issue.

We aim at providing an answer to the question raised about which extent these factors lead to procrastination.

For this purpose, our investigation targeted students at Ibn Khaldoun University's EFL department.

We used a questionnaire to collect the necessary data since it was more inclusive.

The results revealed that anxiety and time management have a great role in academic procrastination along with lack of self-regulation.

Students if not emotionally stable and regulated in terms of time management can undergo severe academic failure.

Delay in completing given tasks successfully and on time may result in low grade and failed or repeated semesters.
