This paper aims to examine the relationship between motivation and procrastination in the workplace. Motivation is addressed as a key factor in determining individual and organisational performanceand its impact on commitment, productivity and job satisfaction is investigated. The paper also focuses on various motivational theories and how they can be applied in the specific context of the work environment. In the organizational context, procrastination can lead to decreased workforce effectiveness and thus decreased organizational productivity focusing on the behaviors associated with procrastination in the work environment which can be classified into two main categories:the first involving engaging in non-work activities duringworking hours such as long discussions, prolonged breaks or cleaning the workspace and the second category of procrastination which refers to the extensive use of technology, especially the internet and mobile devices, known as „cyberslacking”.

This paper aims to study the influence of loneliness at work on occupational depression among workers. In order to measure these concepts we used the Loneliness at Work Scale (LAWS) as well as the Occupational Depression Inventory (ODI). The sample of participants on which we applied these two tests consisted of 60 people, divided into 2 representative samples, a sample of 30 women and a sample of 30 men, and the sampling method we opted for was nonprobability, i.e.convenience or incidental sampling, through which we selected participants available to contribute to this work. The completion of the questionnaires was carried out using a form that we prepared usingthe Google Forms platform, and subsequently distributed online. In order to ensure the ethics of the research, we obtained digital consent from all those involved in the research prior to the start of completion. In the statistical analysis we aimed to achieve the proposed objectives and hypotheses. According to the results obtained there is an interdependent relationship between loneliness experienced at work and occupational depression. Also in the present research, we found that the gender aspect is a rather important aspect in dealing with loneliness at work, men find it harder to cope with loneliness compared to women.

The present paper brings to attention the dysfunctional behavior in organisations in relation to the intensity of activity on social networks The present research aimed to identify the influences of the use of social networks on the occurrence of counterproductive behaviors in the workplace. It was based on 2 hypotheses: (1) it was assumed that there is a correlation between the use of the entertainment function in social networks and the occurrence of counterproductive behaviors at work and (2) the intensity of use of the social function of social networks correlates positively with the occurrence of counterproductive behaviors at work. The online questionnaire consisting of the Social Networking Activity Intensity Scale and the Counterproductive Behaviors Questionnaire (CWB-C) was completed by 30 people from Constanta County, aged 20-56 years. The results showed that the use of social networks within the limits of social function does not influence the development of counterproductive behaviors, while related to the intensity of social network use for entertainment purposes there is a positive correlation with the occurrence of certain counterproductive behaviors, such as sabotage and production-related deviance. The study did not find any correlations between the intensity of entertainment social network use and other dysfunctional behaviors such as theft and abuse. There were also no positive correlations between the age of respondents and the existence of dysfunctional behavior in the workplace. In the future, it would be useful to use a larger sample size and to introduce variables such as the type of work performed.

The presented study highlights a significant correlation between burnout and lack of workplace civility, with inappropriate behaviors from others (clients or colleagues) contributing tothe impairment of employees' well-being. Regarding organizational support, a negative correlation is observed between burnout and perceived support. Organizational support acts as a buffer against stress, and promoting social interactions is essential for preventing professional exhaustion. Withinthe hypothesis regarding age, it is observed that young individuals in the Horeca industry (18-25 years old) exhibit a higher level of burnout compared to those between 36 and 45 years old. The explanation lies in different stages of professional and personal development, emphasizing the importance of organizational support for all age groups. Shaping the hypothesis that the lack of civility is encountered differently depending on the subjects' tenure in the workforce, the results indicate that those with less than 5 years of experience experience a more pronounced lack of civility. New employees are more vulnerable to stress, and organizations are encouraged to implementsupport strategies, such as team-building activities, to facilitate adaptation and prevent impolite behaviors.

In today's highly competitive environment, organizations need to identify and understand the factors that influence employees and their work outcomes, which in turn have consequences for the organization. The present research focused on analyzing the relationships between counterproductive work behaviors (abuse, production deviance, sabotage, theft, withdrawal) and levels of job satisfaction (intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction) in a sample of 79 participants. Results indicate a significantly negative relationship between extrinsic satisfaction and counterproductive behaviors in total. A significant negative correlation was also observed between job satisfaction and theft behavior. Extrinsic satisfaction also showed a significantly negative correlation with theft and abuse behavior. Contrary to initial hypotheses, the research refuted the significantly negative relationship between job satisfaction and counterproductive behaviors in total, as well as between intrinsic satisfaction and these behaviors. These results suggest that, in this sample, job satisfactionand counterproductive behaviors did not show a direct correlation as originally expected. This research provides an important insight into the complexity of workplace relationships and highlights the needfor further research to understand more deeply the influences of psychological variables on workplace behavior.

The present work aims to analyze, on the one hand, the link between self-esteem levels and anxiety values among professionally active people, respectively, on the other hand, between self-esteem levels and depression values, among the same population . We consider it important to define the concept of self-esteem in relation to anxiety and depression. In order to determine whether the working hypotheses are valid, a questionnaire was drawn up consisting of the items of the Anxiety, Satisfaction and Depression and Enthusiasm at Work Scale (Warr, P. (1990). The measurement of well‐being and other aspects of mental health. Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, 63(3), 193-210.), respectively of self-esteem related to the organization (Pierce, J. L., Gardner, D. G., Cummings, L. L., & Dunham, R. B. (1989). Organization-based self-esteem: construct definition, measurement, and validation. Academy of Management Journal, 32(3), 622–648.). The group of participants in this study was made up of both male and female people, professionally active, predominantly from the urban environment, with higher education and a varied length of work.

The present study addresses the complex relationship between burnout, perceived organizational support, and effort at work, in the context of a multidimensional analysis. By applying the Spearman correlation test, the research reveals a negative correlation between the level of burnout and the perception of support provided by the organization, emphasizing the significant influence of the organizational environment on employees' well-being. In addition, the study identifies a weak positive correlation between burnout and employee effort, suggesting that high levels of burnout may coexist with increased effort, possibly as a compensatory mechanism. The analysis is completed by a perspective on the gender dynamics within the burnout phenomenon, with reference to the study of Purvanova and Muros (2010), which challenges traditional assumptions and emphasizes the differences in the manifestation of burnout between the sexes. In conclusion, the research provides an integrative perspective on the interplay between organizational, personal and gender factors, laying the groundwork for personalized and effective intervention strategies to combat burnout and promote workplace health.

The present research aimed to investigate the relationship between procrastination, productivity, and exhaustion levels at the workplace. The objectives were to identify differences in the level of workplace exhaustion based on participants' gender, marital status, andprocrastination tendencies. Additionally, the study aimed to identify statistically significant correlations between productivity and exhaustion, as well as between productivity and procrastination. A total of 59 participants from Constanța took part in the study, consisting of 36 females and 23 males. Their marital status was divided into those in a relationship (38) and those single (21). Ages were categorized into four groups (18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-55). The instruments used for data collection were the Workplace Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), the Inventory of Professional Exhaustion (original version), and the Procrastination at Work Scale (PAWS). In pursuit of the research objectives, five hypotheses were formulated, with four being confirmed. Consequently, significant differences between females and males in both procrastination tendencies and workplace exhaustion were identified. Furthermore, marital statusproved to be a factor influencing exhaustion levels, with participants in relationships exhibiting a higher degree of exhaustion. Additionally, a negative correlation was demonstrated between exhaustion levels and productivity. In conclusion, a clearer picture emerges regarding therelationship between procrastination, productivity, and workplace exhaustion. Participants from Constanța County provided valuable data contributing to the achievement of the set objectives and the evaluation of the formulated hypotheses. Thus, these findings not only aid in understanding workplace dynamics but also provide a foundation for developing personalized strategies for time and stress management aimed at enhancing performance and reducing workplace exhaustion.
