Abstract :
Procrastination is an act of putting off particular task or duty. Many
students delay completing their thesis and choose other activities that are seen as
more fun, such as watching, hanging out, traveling, and going on vacation so that
it takes up their time. Students who are finishing their thesis actually need support,
but in reality many students do not get the attention and motivation of the people
around them. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between
social support and academic procrastination in students who completed their
thesis.
The design of this study was an analytic observational correlation with a
cross sectional approach. The population of the study was 109 and a sample of 86
respondents were selected. The sampling technique was in term of simple random
sampling. The independent variable was social support. The dependent variable
was academic procrastination. The instruments were MSPSS and TPS
questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted by means of Spearman test.
The results of this study indicated that there was a relationship between
social support variables and academic procrastination in students was in progress
of completing their theses. The results of Spearman test indicated ? = 0.000 (? <
0.05).
Family social support has the highest influence in reducing academic
procrastination behavior, while the lowest social support is peer support, so it is
hoped that peers can provide better support or motivation to their friends to be
more enthusiastic in completing thesis and completing studies on time.
