Quiet Firing Linked to Higher Levels of Quiet Quitting
A recent study published in the International Journal of Business Information Systems reveals a direct correlation between 'quiet firing' practices and increased 'quiet quitting' among employees. The research focused on the oil, gas, and petroleum sectors. Findings suggest that when employers subtly push staff out through reduced support or opportunities, employees respond by disengaging. However, the study also highlights that fostering strong workplace relationships can significantly mitigate these negative outcomes.
