The Unacknowledged Struggle, Investigating Procrastination as a Response to Workplace Microaggressions and Ostracism: Examining Organizational Identification as a Mediator

Abstract

This article observes how psychological well-being mediates the connotation among workplace microaggressions, ostracism, and employee procrastination in educational settings. Examination of data from 405 employees showed that ostracism and microaggressions have a negative correlation with organizational identity and a strong and positive correlation with procrastination. Additionally, it was discovered that the association between procrastination, microaggressions, and workplace exclusion was mediated by organizational identity. The results highlight the significance of helping workers develop a strong sense of identity and belonging to reduce unproductive work practices. Ostracism and microaggressions significantly affected procrastination, but psychological well-being had minor indirect effects. These results imply that to decrease procrastination, direct intervention on workplace harassment is required. The study has implications for improving organizational interventions and stress-coping models in educational settings
