Present study investigated decisional procrastination and
perceived locus of control among Pakistani public and private
sector executives. Role of job hierarchy, job tenure and locus of
control in decisional procrastination was also explored. Overall
120 executives from public and private sectors participated in
study. Decisional Procrastination Scale (Mann, 1982) and
Levenson’s (1973) Locus of Control Scale were used to collect
data. A Significant positive relationship was found between
decisional procrastination and chance locus of control. Further
analysis revealed that public sector executives were
significantly higher on decisional procrastination, powerful
others locus of control, and chance locus of control as
compared to private executives whereas private sector
executives were significantly higher on internal locus of control
than private sector executives. Findings also indicated that
those who were high in job hierarchy reported significantly
lower level of decisional procrastination and high internal locus
of control as compared to those who were low in job hierarchy.
Regarding job tenure executives who had more work
experience reported significantly higher level of internal locus
of control and lower level of decisional procrastination,
powerful other and chance locus of control than who had less
work experience. Hierarchical regression analysis demonstrated
chance locus of control, internal locus of control and job
hierarchy as significant predictors of decisional procrastination.
Exploring the moderating role of job hierarchy did not reveal
any significant effect of different levels of hierarchy in decisional procrastination. Limitations and suggestions for
future studies have been discussed.
