Bibliometric Analysis of Employee Procrastination Behavior: A Lack of Contribution to Organizational Productivity

Introduction

Bibliometric analysis of employee procrastination behavior: a lack of contribution to organizational productivity. Explore a bibliometric analysis of employee procrastination from 2015-2025. Uncover research trends, gaps, and strategies to boost organizational productivity and mitigate workplace procrastination.

Abstract

Procrastination behavior among employees is a growing concern in organizational settings, negatively impacting productivity and overall work efficiency. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of scientific literature on employee procrastination and its effect on organizational productivity, focusing on the trends, research gaps, and collaboration patterns from 2015 to 2025. Using data from academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, the study identifies key publications, analyzes the evolution of research topics, and assesses the contributions of various authors in this field. The results reveal a significant increase in studies related to procrastination in the workplace, with a focus on time management, leadership influence, and the role of organizational culture in mitigating procrastination. The findings suggest that understanding the underlying causes of procrastination and implementing strategies to address it can lead to improved organizational performance. This research offers valuable insights for human resource management and sets the foundation for future studies in addressing procrastination in the workplace.

Review

This study proposes a timely and relevant bibliometric analysis focusing on employee procrastination behavior and its implications for organizational productivity. Given the widespread and often detrimental effects of procrastination in professional settings, a comprehensive review of the existing literature is highly valuable. The chosen timeframe (2015-2025) and the use of multiple robust academic databases—Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar—suggest a thorough and expansive approach to mapping the research landscape. The stated aim to identify trends, research gaps, and collaboration patterns positions this work as a foundational resource for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the evolution and future directions of this critical area. The abstract effectively outlines the study's methodological strengths and anticipated findings. By focusing on key publications, research topic evolution, and author contributions, the analysis promises to deliver a clear picture of the intellectual architecture of this field. The preliminary results indicating a significant increase in studies, particularly around time management, leadership influence, and organizational culture, are insightful and align with current interests in human resource management and organizational behavior. The expectation that the findings will lead to better understanding of underlying causes and effective mitigation strategies underscores the practical utility of this research, offering valuable insights for HR professionals and setting a strong foundation for future empirical work. While the abstract provides a strong overview, a few points could enhance the contribution further. The inclusion of "2025" in the timeframe for a bibliometric analysis, which is typically retrospective, warrants clarification—is this a predictive element, or an anticipated end-point for current data collection? Additionally, the title's bold assertion, "A Lack of Contribution to Organizational Productivity," is a powerful claim that the abstract's descriptive findings on research trends do not explicitly elaborate upon. The discussion section of the full paper should rigorously address how the identified research, despite its growth, might still be falling short in providing actionable, directly measurable contributions to productivity improvements, thus fully substantiating the title's premise. More specific details on the bibliometric software and search strategy would also bolster the methodological transparency.
