Abstract | Researchers are of the view that students’ attachment to social media may lead to negative consequences such as postponement of their academic work. Yet how social media use is associated with academic procrastination of students is still underexplored. This study ascertained the pathways through which social media use predicted academic procrastination of undergraduate students. The sample size comprised 500 year one students of the Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Path analysis was employed to test the model fit of the hypothetical model and show the direction of relationships between the exogenous and endogenous variables. Results showed that the hypothesized model fits the sample data satisfactorily, and Internet addiction predicted academic procrastination more than any other variable. Social media use had no significant effect on academic procrastination but indirectly significantly predicted academic procrastination through internet addiction.
Les chercheurs sont d'avis que l'attachement des étudiants aux médias sociaux peut avoir des conséquences négatives telles que le retardement de leurs travaux universitaires. Pourtant, la manière dont l'utilisation des médias sociaux est associée à la procrastination des étudiants dans le cadre universitaire est encore peu étudiée. Cette étude a permis de déterminer les voies par lesquelles l'utilisation des médias sociaux a prédit la procrastination académique des étudiants de premier cycle. L'échantillon était composé de 500 étudiants de première année de la faculté d'éducation de l'université Nnamdi Azikiwe, à Awka. L'analyse de pistes causales a été utilisée pour tester l'adéquation du modèle hypothétique et montrer la direction des relations entre les variables exogènes et endogènes. Les résultats ont montré que le modèle hypothétique s'ajuste de manière satisfaisante aux données de l'échantillon, et que la dépendance à Internet prédisait la procrastination académique plus que toute autre variable. L'utilisation des médias sociaux n'a pas eu d'effets directs significatifs sur la procrastination scolaire, mais a indirectement prédit de manière significative la procrastination académique par la dépendance à Internet. Cela implique que l'utilisation des médias sociaux ne peut pas conduire à la procrastination académique avant qu'elle ne devienne problématique. |

AbstractList | Researchers are of the view that students' attachment to social media may lead to negative consequences such as postponement of their academic work. Yet how social media use is associated with academic procrastination of students is still underexplored. This study ascertained the pathways through which social media use predicted academic procrastination of undergraduate students. The sample size comprised 500 first year students of the Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Path analysis was employed to test the fit of the hypothetical model and show the direction of relationships between the exogenous and endogenous variables. Results showed that the hypothesized model fits the sample data satisfactorily, and Internet addiction predicted academic procrastination more than any other variable. Social media use had no significant direct effects on academic procrastination but indirectly significantly predicted academic procrastination through internet addiction. This implies that social media use may not lead to academic procrastination until it becomes problematic.
