Abstract
The scope of the current study is to investigate the impact of work-family conflict on procrastination and affective organizational commitment. The current study covered different aspects of the employees like their working life as well as their personal life. The unit of analysis for the study is individuals employed in the information technology-related organizations of Pakistan. Total response rate of the data collected is 85 %. The IT-related organization situated in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad is a limitation affecting the generalizability of results of this study. The sampling technique used is purposive/judgmental and data collection technique is cross-sectional. The study is unique as for the first time an integrative model is formulated with the construct of work-family conflict along with mediating role of non-work-related presenteeism which has not been tested earlier, specifically in IT industry of Pakistan. Moreover two important moderators’ boredom and flexible work practices are added in this model which is ignored in the previous research. Results of the study indicate that the employees facing the problem of work-family conflict have a significant and direct relationship with procrastination, whereas work-family conflict and affective organization commitment has a positive significant relationship which is a different result from previous studies on similar relationships. The reason of this different result owes to the organizational support given to the procrastinators. Moreover, non-work-related presenteeism is partially mediating in the relationship of related independent and the dependent variable. The results suggest that organizations need to review their employee-related policies and procedures which do not support non-work-related activities in order to reduce procrastination or delay in tasks. The present study has its significance for policy makers, managers, supervisors and employees at all levels.
