<![CDATA[This research was motivated by the existence of academic procrastination behavior among students, such as delaying the completion of school assignments. One factor assumed to be related to this behavior is hardiness, which refers to an individual’s ability to cope with pressure and challenges positively. This study aimed to determine the relationship between hardiness and academic procrastination among students at SMAN 56 Jakarta. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The sample consisted of 72 students from grades X and XI at SMAN 56 Jakarta selected using cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected using hardiness and academic procrastination questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis technique used was Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed that students’ hardiness levels were categorized as fairly good, while academic procrastination behavior was still found among some students. Based on the hypothesis testing, the significance value obtained was 0.412 ( > 0,05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.098. The findings indicate that there is no significant relationship between hardiness and academic procrastination among students at SMAN 56 Jakarta. Therefore, hardiness was not the main factor influencing academic procrastination in this study. Academic procrastination is assumed to be influenced more by other factors, such as self-regulation, time management, learning motivation, and self-control.]]>
