Abstract:
Procrastination is purely a modern phenomenon. It is a multi-dimensional construct as it includes behavioural, affective and cognitive components (Ferrari et al., 1995, Solomon and Rothblum, 1984) and hence, it has been defined in a wide variety of ways. Etymologically speaking, the word ‘procrastination’ originates from the Latin words ‘pro’ meaning ‘forward, forth, or in favour of’ and ‘crastinus’ meaning ‘of tomorrow’. So, procrastination refers to the act of deferring or delaying some work till a later date. A broad and systematic definition given by Milgram (1991) emphasized four components of procrastination as – “(1) a behaviour sequence of postponement, (2) resulting in a substandard behavioural product, (3) involving a task that is perceived by the procrastinator as being important and (4) resulting in a state of emotional upset.”
