Abstract:

Procrastination is a widespread phenomenon in contemporary society, and work procrastination negatively impacts employees' job performance, physical and mental health. Grounded in the Conservation of Resources Theory, this study employed a daily diary survey to investigate 205 corporate employees, exploring the roles of self-regulatory resources and perceived organizational support in the relatioship between sleep quality and work procrastination. The results indicated that: (1) Sleep quality negatively predicted work procrastination, with self-regulatory resources mediating this relationship. (2) Perceived organizational support moderated the relationship between self-regulatory resources and work procrastination. Specifically, the negative relationship between self-regulatory resources and work procrastination was stronger when perceived organizational support was high. These findings suggest that work procrastination can be mitigated by improving employees' sleep quality, and fostering a supportive organizational environment is also an important measure to alleviate work procrastination.
