Each worker has a role to play to increase productivity and efficiency for the good of the company and nation.

Delayed behaviour is a counter-productivity “syndrome” of sorts. It implies how dilly-dallying on the job causes inefficiency which contributes to low productivity. Delayed behaviour encompasses workplace attitudes and practices such as having too many things to do, no planning, fear of failure, perfectionism, lack of motivation and not meeting deadlines.
