Abstract: Objective:To explore the relationship between irrational procrastination and compulsory citizenship behavior among clinical nurses,and to investigate the role of psychological entitlement in this relationship.Meth-ods:A sample of 413 clinical nurses from a tertiary hospital was selected for this study.The Irrational Procrastina-tion Scale(IPS),Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale(CCBS),and Psychological Entitlement Scale(PES)were used for evaluation.Results:The scores of IPS,CCBS and PES were positively correlated with each other(r=0.53,0.56,0.39,Ps＜0.01).Psychological entitlement partially mediated the relationship between compulsory citi-zenship behavior and irrational procrastination among clinical nurses,with an indirect effect of 0.17,accounting for 13.85％of the total effect.Conclusion:Psychological entitlement plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between compulsory citizenship behavior and irrational procrastination among clinical nurses.
