Sessiz İstifa: Kapsamlı Bir Teorik Çerçeve Oluşturma

Bu çalışmada, son zamanlarda popüler olan sessiz istifa kavramını örgütsel davranış literatürüne kazandırma amaçlanmıştır. Kavramla ilgili çok az sayıda çalışmaya rastlanmış olmasına rağmen, bir çalışma haricinde, ilgili çalışmaların kavramı herhangi bir kuramsal arka plana dayalı olarak kapsamlı bir şekilde ele almadığı görülmüştür. Bu nedenle henüz başlangıç aşamasında olan bu kavram, örgütsel davranış literatüründeki neden-sonuç ilişkileri kapsamında ampirik olarak daha fazla araştırmacının yapabilmesi için ele alınmıştır. İlk olarak, terim Sosyal Mübadele Teorisi, Kaynakların Korunması Teorisi ve Kuşaklar Teorisi'ne dayandırılmıştır. İkinci olarak, terim kısaca tanımlanmıştır. Üçüncü olarak, olası öncülleri, beklenen sonuçları, çift yönlü etkileri, yarattığı sorunları ve örgütlerin bu sorunlarla nasıl başa çıkılacağı tartışılmıştır. Son olarak, olası tüm neden-sonuç hipotezlerini içeren kavramsal bir model önerilmiştir.

Quiet Quitting: Building a Comprehensive Theoretical Framework

In this study, we aimed to introduce the recently popular concept of quiet quitting to the organizational behavior literature. Although we have met a handful of studies on the concept, we realized that the relevant studies do not address the concept comprehensively based on any theoretical background but only one. Therefore, we conducted this study, which is still in its infancy, for further researchers to conduct it empirically within the scope of cause-and-effect relationships in the organizational behavior literature. First, we grounded the term on Social Exchange Theory, Conservation of Resources Theory, and Theory of Generations. Second, we briefly defined the term. Third, we discussed possible antecedents, expected outcomes, issues having bi-directional effects, and the ways how to deal with these issues in organizations. Finally, we proposed a conceptual model including all possible cause-and-effect hypotheses.
