“…Having goals or targets is necessary for government employees. Previous studies have shown that having proper motivations will improve employee efficiency (Grund & Fries, 2018). That study states that when employees have proper motivation in their work, such as having achievable goals and targets, they will perform better.…”

“…There are three types of integrity violation: weak, mild and strong. Weak integrity violations are acts of deviant behaviors such as falsely reporting in sick or procrastinating towards assigned duties (Grund & Fries, 2018;Wessel, Bradley, & Hood, 2019). Mild integrity violations focus on things such as conducting side activities within the organization (for example, conducting errands for groceries or paying the bills during official working hours) (Graaf et.…”

Objective - Integrity violations can result in small or large financial losses for a community or organisation. These economic losses can be the result of small actions, such as laziness or no determination of work ethics, or large losses, such as corruption practices that can cause an organisation to lose large amounts of money and suffer damage to their reputation. The study will assess the levels of public sector integrity violations among Malaysian government employees. Methodology/Technique – Previous studies have shown that serious integrity violations, such as fraud, result in major economic loss to a country. This paper explores the perceptions of 616 Malaysian government civil servants who were surveyed regarding matters of integrity violations in their working environment. Surveys were distributed using mail and online distribution formats. The level of integrity violations within the respondent’s organisations were evaluated as weak, mild or strong. Finding - The results indicate that employees in Malaysia are focused on their personal and family relationships despite the fact that this is considered as integrity violations within their organisation. Novelty - This research provides an overview of the current stage of Malaysian integrity violations and demonstrates the need for improvement in this area. The research also provides valuable insight to managers to improve their control over the organisation. Type of Paper: Empirical

“…Another potential limitation stems from the reliance on cross-sectional data. Given that complex, intra-individual and motivational processes play a crucial role in procrastination (Grund and Fries 2018;van Eerde 2003a;Steel 2007), further investigations should involve experimental and longitudinal study designs, reflecting this dynamics. Subsequent research may also consider the motivational basis of active and passive procrastination among psychopathic individuals.…”

The present study examined the relationships between potentially adaptive and maladaptive aspects of psychopathy distinguished within the triarchic model (i.e., boldness, meanness and disinhibition) and two types of procrastination, reflecting its functional and dysfunctional aspects (i.e., active procrastination and passive procrastination). Additionally, the potential mediating mechanisms underlying these associations were investigated. The results revealed that the three components of the triarchic model of psychopathy were related to different forms of procrastination in distinct ways. In particular, active procrastination displayed a positive link to boldness and meanness, whereas passive procrastination was found to be positively related to disinhibition and negatively to boldness. Furthermore, two parallel multiple mediation analyses demonstrated the mediating effects of individual difference variables (i.e., impulsiveness, negative affectivity, general self-efficacy) on these relationships. As hypothesized, impulsiveness and negative affectivity partially mediated the association between disinhibition and passive procrastination, while self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between boldness and active procrastination. The paper concentrated on the theoretical implications of these findings for understanding how different psychopathy-related traits are related to different aspects of procrastination.

“…According to Self-determination theory, people have three basic psychological need: competence, autonomy and relatedness, and people will strive for these need and tend to the environment that satisfied these need (Gagné & Deci, 2005;. When the basic psychological need was satisfied, people showed more positive consequence, in contrast, it will bring the negative influence (Deci & Ryan, 2000;Gagné & Deci, 2005;Grund & Fries, 2018). Katz et al (2014) have indicated that when individuals are in "need-supportive" environment which could support their need of competent, autonomy and relatedness, their procrastination behavior will reduce obvious.…”

Based on self-determination theory, our study investigates the mechanism and boundary condition of procrastination behavior. We had a sample of 327 employees to test our hypothesis, and regression method and the structural equation model were used to analyze the data. The results show that: 1) inclusive leadership could negatively influence on procrastination behavior; 2) mediating effect of intrinsic motivation was found between inclusive leadership and procrastination; 3) moderating effects of perceived insider status were found upon the relationship between intrinsic motivation and procrastination behavior; 4) moreover, perceived insider status moderated the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation between inclusive leadership and procrastination behavior.
