Abstract
This study delves into the concept of psychological capital and its role in influencing academic achievement and procrastination among university students. Psychological capital, comprising components such as hope, resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy, plays a pivotal role in shaping students' attitudes, behaviors, and academic outcomes. Through a comprehensive investigation, this research explores the relationships between psychological capital, academic achievement, and procrastination, aiming to uncover the underlying mechanisms and implications for student success. Data collection involves surveys and interviews to gather insights into students' perceptions, experiences, and coping strategies related to academic challenges and procrastination tendencies. Statistical analyses are employed to examine the correlations and predictive relationships between psychological capital, academic performance, and procrastination behaviors. The findings contribute to the understanding of psychological factors influencing student success and inform strategies for promoting positive academic outcomes and mitigating procrastination tendencies among university students.
