Perceived person–organization misfit and procrastination behaviour

AbstractThis research examines the relationship between employees' resource‐draining perceptions of person–organization misfit and their procrastination behaviour, with special attention to the mediating role of their turnover intentions and the moderating role of two key personal orientations in this process. The hypotheses were tested with cross‐sectional survey data collected among employees in the education sector. The results reveal that a critical reason that beliefs about a mismatch between personal and organizational values spur slacking on work tasks is that employees make plans to quit. This mediating effect is invigorated by employees' uncertainty avoidance orientation but mitigated by their collectivistic orientation. This investigation therefore pinpoints an important conduit, plans to leave, through which frustrations with misaligned values escalate into a failure to meet work deadlines. Organizations can identify employees who are more or less likely to exhibit such a negative spiral, due to the strength of their uncertainty avoidance and collectivistic orientations.

The Relationship Between Academic Procrastination, General Procrastination and Patience: A Study on University Students

This research aims to reveal the nature of the relationship among university students' general procrastination, academic procrastination, and patience behaviors. In the study, the Academic Procrastination Scale (APS) and General Procrastination Scale (GPS) developed by Çakıcı (2003), the University Students' Patience Tendency Scale (USPTS) developed by Çeliköz and Gül (2018), and the "Personal Information Form" developed by the researcher were used.

Is the Association of Procrastination and Age Mediated by Fear of Failure?

Procrastination as an intentional delay of personal tasks in spite of anticipating negative consequences as a result is a widespread behavior, particularly among young adults. Previous research points to a reduction of procrastinatory tendencies across the adult lifespan; it is unclear to date which mechanisms underlie this decrease of procrastination behavior. Given evidence of fear of failure strongly influencing younger adults to postpone the start or delay of intended actions, as well as a possible decrease of fear of failure with increasing age, this study set out to explore a potential mediating effect of fear of failure on procrastination. A total of 197 participants, aged 18 to 90 years, took part in this study via online questionnaires. Statistical analyses showed that procrastination behavior decreased across the adult lifespan. Higher levels of fear of failure were linked to more procrastination behavior. A mediation analysis indicated that the relationship between age and procrastination was mediated by fear of failure. Results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implications.

35 Age, procrastination, depressive symptomatology, and loneliness: a structural equation modelling approach

Abstract Background Procrastination, the voluntary delay of an intended course of action despite potentially negative consequences, is experienced by individuals of all ages, and yet little research to date has focused on procrastination behaviours among older adults. We wanted to explore the potential association between age and procrastination, and potential causal mechanisms therein. Methods We applied structural equation modelling to data from two waves of the United States Health and Retirement Study (collected during 2016–2020). The sample consisted of adults predominantly over the age of 50 (n = 1,320; mean = 64, range = 28–92) who completed measures of depressive symptomatology, loneliness, and procrastination across the two waves. The direct association between age and procrastination was investigated with both depressive symptomatology and loneliness being assessed as potential mediators. Results Model fit was acceptable (e.g. Comparative Fit Index = 0.931). The model results showed that age did not have a significant effect (beta = 0.010; p = 0.782) on procrastination. However, an indirect effect was present (beta = −.040; p < 0.001). While age was not directly associated with procrastination, age was associated with increased likelihood of depressive symptomatology, which was in turn associated with increased likelihood of procrastination. No mediating effect of loneliness was observed (beta = −.010; p = 0.371). Conclusion We report an indirect effect of age on procrastination via depression, absent of a direct effect (which is not uncommon). Our findings suggest the presence of an inhibiting mediator, one not included in our model. For instance, while age may increase the likelihood of depression, yielding a positive effect on procrastination, age may also be associated with increased time management skills, or wisdom, which would potentially be associated with lower procrastination likelihood. Results are discussed in relation to potential implications for procrastination behaviours beyond retirement, and for potential sequelae such as financial decision-making or health behaviour.

Case report for an internet- and mobile-based intervention for internet use disorder.

Internet use disorder (IUD), characterized as the inability to control one's internet use, is associated with reduced quality of life and mental health comorbidities such as depression, substance abuse, or anxiety. Evidence-based treatment options are scarce due to the novelty of the diagnosis.

The case report follows the CARE guidelines and presents qualitative and quantitative outcomes regarding potential symptom reduction measured by the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS), treatment satisfaction measured by the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) and feasibility by analyzing participant's written feedback during treatment. The case report shows that internet- and mobile-based interventions may be feasible in supporting an individual in reducing symptoms of IUD as well as depressive symptoms, anxiety and procrastination behavior. Treatment satisfaction was reported as good. This case report illustrates that IMIs can have the potential to be an easily accessible and possibly effective treatment option for IUD.
