• Active procrastination
• Creative self-efficacy
• Creative ideation

The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of creative self-efficacy (CSE) in the relationship between active procrastination and creative ideation. Participants were 853 undergraduate students (37% male; aged 18-27 years, M = 20.30 years, SD = 1.28 years) from eight universities in China. Data were collected using the New Active Procrastination Scale, the Short Scale of Creative Self, and the Runco Ideational Behavior Scale. Correlation results indicated that active procrastination, CSE, and creative ideation were positively associated with each other. Multiple mediation analysis indicated that CSE mediated the relationship between active procrastination and creative ideation. These findings suggest that CSE could underlie the effect of active procrastination on individuals' creative ideation. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
