DELAYING BEHAVIOR IN INSTITUTIONS: PROCRASTINATION

Abstract

Human-resource, whose importance cannot be denied for institutions, can contribute to the institution with the knowledge and skills they have. On the other hand, they can punish the institution with different behaviors. Procrastination, interpreted as a coping mechanism (Burka and Yuen, 1983, p.60), is a complex fact that has behavioral, emotional, and cognitive features (Kovylin, 2013, p. 27).

In this study, the procrastination term was defined and the factors that cause the procrastination behavior were explained. In addition, the correlated dimensions and the results from the point of institutions were discussed.
