Abstract

This study aims to verify the factors that lead students of the Accounting Sciences course to procrastinating behavior in disciplines of the area and its influence in the academic life. Descriptive research was carried out through survey, having as a sample 225 students of three universities, one private, one communitarian and one public. To test the hypotheses, structural equation modeling was used. The results of the research indicated that the personal and situational antecedents lead students to procrastinate the tasks of the course’s disciplines of the area. It was also found out that there is a positive relationship between procrastination and academic misconduct. In addition, it was identified that there is a negative relationship between procrastination and academic performance. Based on the results, it is concluded that the personal and situational factors lead students of the Accounting Sciences course to procrastination in disciplines of the area. In addition, procrastinating behavior can affect both academic performance and misconduct, including jeopardizing grades and failing the course. The results of the study contribute for teachers and students to reflect on the negative results of procrastination over the course of the disciplines and for the elaboration of pedagogical plans and strategies that can improve the students' academic trajectory.
