Locus of control as a predictor of procrastination in employed and non-working education undergraduates
Introduction. The article examines how employment influences various aspects of prospective students’ personal, professional and academic development. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the locus of control and the degree of procrastination in working and non–working students of a pedagogical university.
Materials and Methods. The authors used the following research methods: an analytical literature review, a comparative analytical literature review, terminological analysis, as well as quantitative, qualitative and interpretative methods. Quantitative and qualitative methods included testing with subsequent interpretation of the results based on Spearman and Pearson statistical criteria. Using the generally accepted methodology for studying the locus of control, the study used J. Rotter’s method of studying the locus of control and a questionnaire on procrastination. The sample included 111 students of the pedagogical university.
Results. The article presents a theoretical review and the results of the study on procrastination and the locus of control in education students working and not working within the educational system. Based on the data obtained, the relationships between a high level of procrastination and various parameters of the locus of control were revealed.
Conclusions. Based on the testing, statistically significant differences in the level of procrastination were revealed among students who combine university studies and employment in the education system.
