İş Özellikleri ve Örgüt Kültürünün İş Erteleme Davranışı Üzerindeki Etkisinde Dış Kontrol Odaklılığın Düzenleyici Rolü
Moderator Role of External Locus of Control on the Impact of Job Characteristics and Organizational Culture on Work Procrastination

Summary/Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the impact of job characteristics and organizational culture variables on procrastination in the workplace and to determine whether external locus of control plays a moderating role in this effect. Procrastination is widely recognized as a significant issue in both daily life and professional/academic spheres, adversely affecting organizational efficiency. The literature often links procrastination behavior primarily to individual factors, particularly deficiencies in self-regulation and time management skills, while the interaction between situational/task-related factors and personal characteristics is not adequately considered. Thus, this study aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding and prediction of procrastination behavior by evaluating the interplay of these factors. The sample consists of 714 public officials residing in major cities across seven different regions of Turkey. The findings reveal that perceptions of clan and adhocracy cultures have significant negative effects on procrastination behavior, whereas perceptions of hierarchy and market cultures exhibit positive and significant effects. Moreover, it was found that external locus of control has a moderating role in the impact of job characteristics and organizational culture on procrastination behavior.
