The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of time perspective and personality factors in academic procrastination of Yazd University students. The population of this study is all students of Yazd University who 200 of them were selected through multistage cluster sampling method, then they responded zimbardo time perspective (ZTPI), short form of personality factors (NEO-FFI) and Solomon & Rothblum academic procrastination questionnaire. The Simultaneous Regression analyses displayed future and past negative time perspective significantly related to academic procrastination and also there is a significant relationship between personality factors and academic procrastination. In this way, Neurotisism and Extraversion has a positive relationship and also Conscientiousness has negative relationship with academic procrastination. Based on our results, we suggest tailormade interventions to strengthen the balance of time perspective, and control the personality factors, to help students successfully overcome academic procrastination.
