Procrastination in the academic institution is not new since it prevails from students even to staff. This might create problems, especially in the individual’s output. This study analyzed the relationship, procrastination level, and the work productivity of academic staff from a tertiary education institution in Central Luzon, Philippines. Using a convenience sampling technique, 70 academic staff took part in the survey. This study used a descriptive-correlational design with an adapted questionnaire from McCloskey (2011) and Buuri (2015) as an instrument. For the statistical analysis, the study used SPSS 23 to analyze the gathered data. The study found that the academic staff “often” subject themselves to procrastination, and they “agree” that they are productive in their work. There were significant differences found in the procrastination level and work productivity of the academic staff when grouped according to sex, civil status, and years in service. In terms of relationship, the study confirmed a low direct relationship between the level of procrastination and work productivity of the academic staff. Based on the aforementioned results, the researcher provided some implications for the institution to consider.

The problem of audit quality is discussed from the viewpoint of intellectual capital and the interaction of the gender of the auditor. Audit quality consists of auditors’ competence and independent, while intellectual capital is made up of human capital, rational capital, and structural capital. This research was a correlational design which applied self-constructed questionnaires with Cronbach alpha of 0.82 and 0.75 for intellectual capital and audit quality respectively.  Using a convenience sampling technique, 354(8%) out of 4,390 registered chartered accountants with Chartered Institute of Accountants, Ghana (ICA, GH) who were practicing auditors were used in this study. The study respondents were made up of 191 (54%) males and 163 females, of which 210 (59.3%) had attained degrees, and 144 (40.7%) had an MBA. The study used PROCESS v3.2 and Andrew Haye model 1 to establish the regression and the moderating effect. The results of the study disclosed that there is a high positive significant relationship between intellectual capital and audit quality, and intellectual capital can predict audit quality by 53.68%. Also, there is an enhancing moderating effect of gender on the relationship between intellectual capital and audit quality but not statistically significant. The study recommends that the role of the auditor on audit quality and their intellectual capital must not be differentiated. Therefore, attention must not be placed on the gender of the auditor to give a quality audit.
