Abstract

Procrastination is a common phenomenon which can be experienced by both the individuals and the teams. Yet, by referring to the current literature, little is known concerning the procrastination behaviors within the context of the virtual teams. Drawing from the theory of planned behavior, this present paper will propose and discuss an experimental research approach to specifically investigate the procrastination within the context of the virtual teams. The nature of this paper is research or work in progress. The relevant and related theory, concepts, prior works, hypotheses, and the experimental research designs will be discussed in this paper.
