Results: The results of correlation coefficient show that organizational procrastination is positively and significantly associated with cognitive arousal (p ≤ 0.01, r=0.402) and burnout (p ≤ 0.01, r=0.432). However, the correlation coefficient between burn-out and cognitive arousal (p ≥ 0.05, r= 0.191) is not significant. The results of the analysis prove a direct relationship between organizational procrastination and burn-out and cognitive arousal does not play a mediation role. Finally, the model is verified.
