Abstract

Extensive research has focused on employee disengagement, while management scholars have only recently turned their attention to quiet quitting (QQ). Consequently, the QQ literature is still in its developmental stages, lacking consensus on its conceptual foundations. In this research, drawing on conservation of resource theory (COR), we conceptualize QQ in the workplace, encompassing confrontation avoidance, personal well-being maintenance, and the conservation of time and energy. Leveraging our definition and drawing from COR, we subsequently develop a statistically validated measure for QQ and empirically test its cognitive antecedents.
