IntroductionProcrastination, an increasingly widespread phenomenon in contemporary society, has developed to the point of affecting not only university students, but also the population in general. Although the concept of procrastination dates back to approximately 800 BC (Steel, 2007), studies to date have failed to understand the causes of procrastination. Ferrari (1994) supports this notion by stating that procrastination “remains one of the least understood human miseries” (p.673 cited in Klassen, Krawchuk, & Rajani, 2008). Furthermore, tentative evidence, as studies have shown, suggests that procrastination significantly aggravates both health and academic performance (Klassen et al.,2008;Sirin,2008;Choi & Chun Chu,2005;Tan,Ang,Klassen,Yeo ,Wong,Huan & Chong,2008;& Rabin,Fogel,&Nutter-Upham,2011). As a result, there has been a proliferation of literature on procrastination and its consequences. These consequences, as studies have shown, include high levels of stress, depression, anxiety, low self-efficacy, fear of failure and other risky health behaviors. However, this assignment will only have to take into account one consequence, namely self-efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to determine whether a relationship exists between self-efficacy and procrastination among college students. First of all, we will try to operationally define the two variables (procrastination and self-efficacy). Next, relevant literature will be reviewed to address the research question. Definition of procrastination Although many authors have attempted to define procrastination, identifying its precise definition in the current literature, it remains an area of ​​uncertainty (...... half of the article... ...measure of self-efficacy and of procrastination” (Klassen et al., 2008, p.922). Although many studies indicate that there is a relationship, strong or weak, between self-efficacy and procrastination, new tentative research seems to suggest otherwise Sirin (2011) studied the relationship between procrastination and self-efficacy and found that the two variables are uncorrelated. The results, although inconclusive and contradictory to previous studies, suggest that students had a strong belief that graduating from college was possible with outcomes similar to those in Chun Chu & Choi's observation. (2005) that personalities as well as other individual factors play a role in mediating the relationship between procrastination and self-efficacy. Consequently, it is suggested that self-efficacy may not be the only variable associated with the onset of procrastination..
