Sampling of this research was done with the presence of 384 people (235 female, 105 male) using available sampling method among the high school students of Khorramabad city in the academic year of 2021-2022. To measure the variables of the research, the Reflective Leadership Scale in School (SRLS) by Taheri and Taheri (2016), the Academic Optimism Scale (AOS) by Tashanen-Moran et al.

The results showed that there is a significant relationship between school leadership, academic optimism and feeling of belonging to school with procrastination (P<0.01). Also, the results showed that the direct paths of this research were significant and the indirect paths of school leadership and academic optimism were significant through the mediating role of sense of belonging to school on students' academic procrastination. Based on the findings of this research, the final research model had a good fit (RMSEA=0.056 and P-value <0.05).
