This study aims to examine the influence of academic stress and self-regulation on academic procrastination among students at SMK Negeri 48 Jakarta. Academic procrastination is a behavior commonly observed among vocational students who are required to balance both theoretical learning and practical skills development. The research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational survey method. A total of 289 students from tenth and eleventh grades, representing six vocational programs, were selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires utilizing a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 22. The findings of this study revealed that academic stress has a positive and significant effect on academic procrastination, with a regression coefficient of 0.224 and a t-value of 8.668 (p < 0.05). This indicates that higher levels of academic stress are associated with greater tendencies to procrastinate. In contrast, self-regulation was found to have a negative and significant effect on academic procrastination, with a regression coefficient of -0.351 and a t-value of 7.943 (p < 0.05), suggesting that students with stronger self-regulation skills are less likely to engage in procrastination. Furthermore, the simultaneous influence of academic stress and self-regulation on academic procrastination was significant, as evidenced by an F-value of 64.765 (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.644, indicating that 64.4% of the variance in academic procrastination can be explained by the two independent variables. These results underscore the critical role of stress management and the development of self-regulation abilities in mitigating academic procrastination among vocational school students. Educational interventions focused on reducing stress levels and enhancing self-regulatory behaviors may serve as effective strategies to promote better academic outcomes and reduce counterproductive procrastination habits.

The maritime industry is facing a critical shift toward sustainability, particularly through the green shipping transition. This research was conducted to explore how maritime vocational programs are developing leadership competencies necessary to manage sustainable maritime practices. Previous studies have largely focused on technical skills, with limited attention to leadership development in the context of sustainability. This research aims to fill this gap by addressing the preparedness of maritime education in cultivating leaders who can drive the green transition. The study sought to answer key questions about how leadership competencies are integrated into vocational training and the extent to which sustainability is incorporated into maritime curricula. The analysis utilized a combination of a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and qualitative interviews with 10 maritime professionals, lecturers, and graduates. The SLR identified key competencies and frameworks in sustainable leadership, while the interviews provided insights into the current state of maritime education. The results indicate that while sustainability is increasingly recognized, there are gaps in leadership training, practical exposure to green technologies, and industry collaboration. The findings suggest that maritime vocational programs must adopt a more integrated approach to leadership development and sustainability. By embedding sustainability across curricula and providing hands-on learning opportunities, educational institutions can better prepare future maritime leaders. This research contributes to improving maritime education by addressing the intersection of leadership and sustainability.
