Abstract Individuals in the organization will often show a phenomenon that there is always tomorrow. It is obvious that this procrastination behavior hinders the development of the organization. From the perspective of the team-level characteristics, we analyzed the effect of group poly-chronicity on individual procrastination behavior and its mechanism. Through the questionnaire survey of 231 employees from 76 work groups in Anhui, the results showed that group poly-chronicity will increase their members' procrastination behavior, and the role overload phenomenon mediates the effect. In addition, group autonomy negatively moderates the effect of group poly-chronicity on the role-overload phenomenon, and then weakens the whole mediating process between the group poly-chronicity and individual procrastination behavior.
