Abstract

This study aims at exploring the psychological contract breach’s impact on procrastination at work. Besides, the present study examines whether organizational cynicism mediates this impact. Drawing on social exchange and affective events theory, this study hypothesized that the psychological contract breach would increase procrastination at work, and organizational cynicism would mediate the link between psychological contract breach and procrastination at work. We gathered data from 237 employees by adopting the survey method for testing the hypotheses. All analyses were conducted by using quantitative research methods. Findings indicated that psychological contract breach significantly increased work procrastination. In addition, organizational cynicism had a full mediation role. Several implications were proposed based on the findings.
