Original title: Job Satisfaction Mediates Associations of Change Fatigue, Organizational Support, and Work Overload with Quiet Quitting Among Healthcare Workers
Researchers surveyed healthcare workers in Türkiye about workplace change, support, workload, job satisfaction, and quiet quittingA term for disengagement at work; the abstract does not give a more specific definition.. They found that all three workplace factors were associated with job satisfaction and quiet quitting. Job satisfaction was also associated with quiet quitting. Statistical analyses found indirect links: each workplace factor was associated with quiet quitting partly through job satisfaction. Because the study measured people at one point in time, it cannot show that one factor caused another.
Imagine a busy kitchen where staff face changing routines, too much work, and different levels of help from the manager. It is hard to tell how those conditions connect to whether someone keeps doing only what the job requires. In this paper, the kitchen conditions stand for workplace factors, and how satisfied staff feel with their jobs is a possible link to quiet quitting.
Healthcare workers face fatigue from repeated change, heavy workloads, and varying levels of organizational support. The findings suggest that job satisfaction may help explain how these conditions relate to quiet quitting, pointing to a workplace factor worth considering when addressing disengagement.
The study used self-reported questionnaire data collected at one point in time from healthcare professionals in Türkiye. Its cross-sectional design cannot establish cause and effect, and the findings do not establish that the same associations apply to other groups or settings.
