The statistical population of the research is made up of employees of the headquarters of the Foundation of the Underprivileged of the Islamic Revolution who are employed in the main building of the foundation in 1401, which includes 270 people. In the field investigation, 159 people among these employees were selected and studied according to the Morgan table and using simple random sampling method. The employees in the sample completed two media consumption questionnaires and an organizational procrastination questionnaire in order to collect data. Data analysis was done through Spearman's correlation test and using SPSS. The validity of the research tool has been confirmed through face and content validity. Also, their reliability has been calculated by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.80. The results of the research show that the use of social networks is effective on organizational procrastination (the type of use of social networks is "positive" on employee procrastination, but the amount of use of social networks is "negative" on employee procrastination). Also, organizational procrastination components predict the use of social networks: A positive and significant relationship is observed between the use of social networks and the level of inefficiency of employees (a significant relationship is observed between the type of use of social networks and the level of inefficiency and mental anxiety of employees, but there is no significant relationship with the level of use of social networks).
