Abstract


Students are the generation who can be said to be national assets because students are an educated group of people who are expected to be able to face various changes and existing problems. However, the facts show that various obstacles can be experienced by students when studying at university which can trigger student delays in completing their education or not graduating on time which will lead to academic procrastination. One of the factors that influence the level of academic procrastination in students is personal growth initiative. This is because personal growth initiative are closely related to efforts to develop someone in a positive direction by deliberately optimizing someone's potential to change to become a better person. Therefore, this study aims to test whether personal growth initiatives have a role so that they can be used as a solution to overcome the problems of academic procrastination experienced by students. The subjects of this were 334 male and female students who experienced academic procrastination. The measuring tool for both variables uses a Likert scale. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The results of this study indicate that there is a negative influence between the personal growth initiative variable (x) and the academic procrastination variable (y) with the simple linear regression equation Y = 56,548 + (- 0,283)*X.
