The permanent increase in the proportion of persons aged 65 and over in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is hardly recognized as an issue that deserves due public attention. Compared to those cities striving for standards of age‑friendly urban environment proposed by World Health Organization (WHO), social conditions for active ageing in BiH capital Sarajevo are evidently suboptimal. Since ageing is at the same time an individual process, the main purpose of the paper is to examine satisfaction with the quality of life among senior citizens through a survey. The research was carried out on a sample of 103 older persons who are users of four existing centres for healthy ageing in the city. In addition to the semi‑structured questionnaire, semi‑structured interviews with senior citizens and coordinators at centres for healthy ageing were also conducted. Senior citizens – most of them a generation of Baby‑boomers – were asked questions regarding income, loneliness, family relationships, social participation, leisure, life satisfaction, physical environment as well as mobility. In doing so, some topic areas of age‑friendliness, such as social participation, outdoor spaces and public transportation in Sarajevo have been evaluated. Contrary to assumptions, respondents are quite content with their social life. Nevertheless, apart from enhancing of older people’s social inclusion in general, various structural changes are necessary in order to convert Sarajevo into a more age‑friendly city. The establishment of centres for healthy ageing is certainly a step forward in that direction.

Procrastination is widely recognized as a motivational problem, but its nature is still not entirely understood, especially in the work domain. Procrastination in the execution of everyday work tasks could be motivated by both mood repair and predictor of poor mood. It could also be related to task characteristics, like averseness or demands. The aim of this study is to examine the relation between procrastination, levels of self-efficacy, perceived job demands and control, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. This study was conducted on a sample of 70 teaching assistants, the employees of a small university. The data was collected using Avoidance reactions to a deadline scale, DASS, Self-efficacy scale and Job demand-control scale. Correlation results indicated that self-efficacy and perceived job control were negatively, and job demand positively related to proneness to procrastination. Furthermore, individuals with more symptoms of anxiety and depression tended to procrastinate more. Perceived job control is the single relevant predictor of delaying job-related tasks and activities. The findings clearly suggest that job control deserves additional attention when it comes to the prediction of workplace procrastination.
