The study employs standardized questionnaires, and data analysis reveals significant influences of procrastination on teacher well-being, particularly through Dependence, Difficulty of Making Decisions, and Rebel Instead of Control. The robust regression model explains 74% of the variability in well-being, with fear of failure and job mismatch showing non-significant impacts.
