Abstract:

Precrastination, refers to a behavioral tendency characterized by the urge to initiate and complete tasks promptly, has received increasing attention in the fields of management and psychology. However, there are some gaps in current research on this topic. This study aimed to adapt the Chinese version of the precrastination scale (PS) developed by Gehrig et al. (2023) and to examine its reliability and validity. Using a sample of 719 full-time employees, the research involved translation and back-translation of the original scale, followed by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), criterion-related validity analysis, reliability testing, and analyses of gender and educational differences. The results indicated that six items were retained through EFA, and CFA confirmed the single-factor structure of the original scale. Furthermore, the internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and criterion-related validity all met psychometric standards. The Chinese version of the precrastination scale demonstrates good reliability and validity among Chinese employees and can serve as an effective tool for assessing individual precrastination in future research.
