ABSTRACT
A new academic procrastination framework comprising positive procrastination, negative procrastination, and non-procrastination was tested in this study. Achievement goals were construed as antecedents of the different dilatory behaviors while academic achievement of students served as the consequence. One thousand one hundred fifty three junior and senior undergraduate students from a government university in Eastern Visayas participated in this study. Path analysis was utilized to determine relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables and to establish the overall fit of the model. As hypothesized, positive procrastination and non-procrastination positively predicted academic achievement while negative procrastination had negative effect on student performance. Specific achievement goal predicted specific procrastination tendency. Academic implications were discussed.
Keywords: Achievement goals, positive and negative procrastinations.
