Research on the relationship between procrastination and workplace productivity

Abstract

Procrastination and productivity are two interrelated concepts, and their relationship can significantly influence job performance. Procrastination refers to the postponement of tasks or activities, while productivity is the extent to which tasks are accomplished within a given time frame. The importance of studying this psychological construct stems from the fact that people today often find themselves in the situation of having to complete tasks quickly within certain deadlines. The article examines the causes of procrastination, various typologies of procrastinators, and the consequences of this phenomenon, and also offers a number of recommendations for overcoming procrastination.
