The aim of this study is to examine which factors have an effect on the academic
procrastination of social work students. The sample of the study consisted of
569 social work undergraduate students, of which 486 (85.4%) women and 83
(14.6) were men. As data collection tools, the Socio-Demographic
Questionnaire was developed by the researchers, Academic Procrastination
Scale and Academic Motivation Scale was used in the study. Research findings
reveal the existence of a significant relationship between the scores of the
participants from the Academic Procrastination Scale and the scores they got
from the sub-dimensions of the Academic Motivation Scale. The research
findings revealed that the academic procrastination scores of the participants
differed significantly according to gender, the type of university they attended
and the environment they lived in. In the context of the findings, it can be said
that the attempts of social work academics to increase the academic motivation
of students will provide an important gain in the fight against academic
procrastination.
