When employees witness or experience social exclusion at work, they may procrastinate.<\/p>\n
Prior research suggests this can lead to job stress, decreased financial well-being and increased unemployment or job turnover. A recent study by Brock Professor of Human Resources Management Sadia Jahanzeb reveals that procrastination also causes organizational deviance \u2014 meaning employees withdraw from their work.<\/p>\n
Jahanzeb\u2019s research proposes how the effect of procrastination on organizational deviance can be mitigated. She explains that, by using psychological flexibility, employees learn to self-regulate their negative feelings and accept them, rather than resorting to adverse behaviours.<\/p>\n
