RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIME STRUCTURE AND PROCRASTINATION

The relationship between time structure and procrastination was invest igated among 115 Irish undergraduate students. Significant negative ze ro-order correlations were found among scores for all five subscales o f time structure and procrastination. A follow-up stepwise multiple re gression indicated a significant multiple correlation (R = .61) betwee n all five time structure subscale scores and procrastination. Signifi cant predictors of procrastination were scores on the Time Structure s ubscales of Effective Organization followed by Sense of Purpose. These results suggest that strategies focusing on time management in conjun ction with existential approaches of psychotherapy may be an effective intervention for reducing procrastination.
