EXPLORING THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION IN ACADEMIC BURNOUT AND INTERNET ADDICTION AMONG ACCOUNTING STUDENTS IN JAKARTA

Abstract

This study explores the variables influencing the post-pandemic online grocery behavioural intention of Indonesian consumers. This study investigates the mediating role of academic procrastination in the relationship between academic burnout and internet addiction among college students in Jakarta. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from a diverse sample of students to examine how academic burnout influences procrastination behaviours and, subsequently, how these behaviours contribute to problematic internet use. The findings suggest that academic burnout significantly predicts both procrastination and internet addiction, with academic procrastination serving as a crucial mediator. These results highlight the importance of addressing procrastination behaviours to mitigate internet addiction and improve students' academic well-being. The study offers practical insights for educators and counsellors aiming to develop targeted interventions for reducing burnout, procrastination, and internet dependency among accounting university students.
