- Abstract
Informal status has strong positive implications in the field of organizational behavior, but it also has some harmful effects on individuals. Based on conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study constructs a model to explore the double-edged sword effect of informal status on employees' work procrastination behavior. A questionnaire survey of 202 employees was conducted at two time points, and analysis found that informal status can reduce work procrastination by enhancing employees' career calling, but it will also increase the workload of employees and in turn, increase work procrastination. In addition, the moderating effect of Zhongyong thinking was not significant, but, its pluralistic dimension of thinking strengthened the relationship between informal status and career calling. Contrariwise, the harmony dimension weakens the relationship between informal status and career calling and workload. The findings not only broaden and complement existing research in the field, but also have certain practical implications.
