Academic Procrastination in the Context of Thesis Writing by Generation Z

Abstract

This study investigates academic procrastination among Generation Z students during their thesis writing process. The research aimed to ascertain students’ declared stress levels, their subjective assessment of procrastination’s impact, and whether they maintained regular contact with their supervisors or independently chose their thesis topic. A diagnostic survey, using a questionnaire, was administered to 212 graduate students. The findings indicate that students who reported postponing their thesis writing were more likely to rate their stress level as high and perceived the impact of procrastination as negative. The severity of procrastination was more pronounced among those with sporadic or no contact with a supervisor. Conversely, students who self-selected their topic were less likely to report difficulty concentrating and declared lower levels of procrastination.
