DOI: https://doi.org/The study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the correlation between workplace hazing, procrastination, role ambiguity and burnout on primary data collected on 480 employees in governmental and non-governmental organizations in Islamabad. The independent variable is assumed to be workplace hazing, the mediating variable is procrastination, the moderator is role ambiguity, and the dependent variable is burnout. Results show that a strong and positive relationship exists between procrastination and hazing in the workplace, with hazed employees more likely to postpone tasks. Role ambiguity supports this relationship by strengthening the effect of hazing on procrastination. Procrastination and role ambiguity, respectively, increase the occurrence of burnout among the employees. These results underscore the adverse impact of the workplace hazing and role ambiguity on worker well-being and performance. The analysis highlights the importance of minimizing hazing habits, enhancing job expectations, and dealing with procrastination issues to reduce burnout and create healthier and more productive work environments.
