Crafting a job on a daily basis: Contextual correlates and the link to work engagement (2012, background): “Reducing workload is suggested to be counterproductive (Gruys, 1999), whereas procrastination is negatively related to performance (Ferrari, 2001), conscientiousness, and motivation (Steel, 2007).”
Academic procrastination of undergraduates: Low self-efficacy to self-regulate predicts higher levels of procrastination (2008, methodology): “Similarly, students’ self-regulation skills, which current research posits as a motivational explanation for academic procrastination (Ferrari, 2001; Steel, 2007; Wolters, 2003), was a weak predictor of procrastination when self-efficacy for self-regulation was entered into the regression equation.”
Procrastination, participation, and performance in online learning environments (2011, background): “While a large number of “self” variables are related to procrastination, there is a strong body of evidence that higher levels of procrastination are related to lower levels of self-regulation (e.g., Ferrari, 2001; Klassen et al., 2008; Senécal et al., 1995; Steel, 2007; Wolters, 2003).”
The role of cognitive resources in determining our moral intuitions: Are we all liberals at heart?☆ (2011, background): “Cognitive load tasks have also been shown to result in self-regulation failure, though for a different reason—rather than depleting self-regulation resources, they split them between competing cognitive activities (e.g., the task of interest and a distractor; Ferrari, 2001).”
Academic procrastination and motivation of adolescents in Turkey (2009, background): “The motivational correlates of academic procrastination found in this study – academic self-efficacy, self-efficacy for self-regulation, and self-esteem –are similar to findings from procrastination studies conducted in other settings (e.g., DeRoma et al., 2003; Ferrari, 2001; Haycock, McCarthy, & S”
Fear of Missing Out and Procrastination as Mediators Between Sensation Seeking and Adolescent Smartphone Addiction (2019, background): “This result is in line with previous research showing that sensation seeking is a predictive personality trait of procrastination (Ferrari 1992; Revelle 1997; Ferrari 2001).”

Procrastination may have particularly serious consequences for university students, whose lives are cha”
Academic Procrastinators and Their Self-Regulation (2012, background): “Procrastinators also performed less effectively under high cognitive work demands compared to low cognitive load conditions, suggesting deficits in selection of effective cognitive strategies (Ferrari, 2001).”
“I'll look after my health, later”: an investigation of procrastination and health (2003, background): “Procrastination has been described as a behavioral style that reflects self-regulation failure (Ferrari, 2001), and involves delay in the start and/or completion of a task (Ferrari & Tice, 2000).”
