- Abstract
- Purpose: The purpose of our work is to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of “quiet quitting”. We aim to challenge its various manifestations and question the existing diversity in definitions by examining different work behaviours of quiet quitting. In addition, we examine the reasons, while paying particular attention to the supervisor-subordinate relationship.

Theoretical Perspective: Usage of the main theoretical frameworks of quiet quitting literature. Additionally, literature on related phenomena and similar work behaviors is taken into consideration. We outline research in relation to the topic of leadership.
Contribution: The study contributes to the existing literature on quiet quitting by examining previous definitions and categorizations, investigating the reasons, and clustering the findings in a 3-step-model of quiet quitting to provide a better understanding of the complex phenomenon. (Less)
