A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON THE CONCEPT OF QUIET QUITTING

Abstract

Coming to the agenda after the worldwide Covid-19 epidemic; Studies on the concept of silent resignation, which is defined as "leaving the job mentally, if not physically", are frequently researched in the management literature. The purpose of this research is to examine the articles published on silent resignation using the bibliometric analysis method. For this purpose, bibliometric analyzes were carried out using the VOSviewer program on 22 articles in the Web of Science database that met the inclusion criteria. In this context, descriptive analyzes were carried out regarding year, country, author and citation status in studies dealing with the concept of silent resignation. In related studies, word-based network mapping and clustering techniques were used for keywords, co-authorship, institution and common citations. The research findings reflect the development and trend in the literature on the concept of silent resignation, which is one of the current issues in the field of management. Research findings show that inability to establish work-life balance, burnout and lack of motivation cause silent resignation. In addition, it is seen that silent resignation behavior causes low performance, low organizational commitment, dissatisfaction and turnover in organizations. Research emphasizes that it is important to improve working conditions, reduce excessive workload, organize flexible working conditions and develop a new organizational culture that increases motivation in order to prevent silent resignation behavior in the organization. This research; It is thought that it will contribute to future studies in terms of identifying and guiding possible gaps in the relevant literature.

SESSİZ İSTİFA KAVRAMINA YÖNELİK BİR BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZ

Abstract

Dünya çapında yaşanan Covid-19 salgını sonrasında gündeme gelen; “fiziksel olmasa dâhi zihinsel anlamda işten ayrılmak” olarak ifade edilen sessiz istifa kavramı ile ilgili çalışmalar yönetim alanyazınında sıklıkla araştırılmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, sessiz istifa ile ilgili yayımlanan makalelerin bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile incelenmesidir. Söz konusu amaç doğrultusunda, Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan ve dâhil etme ölçütlerini karşılayan 22 makale üzerinde VOSviewer programı kullanılarak bibliyometrik analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda sessiz istifa kavramını ele alan çalışmalarda yıl, ülke, yazar ve atıf durumlarına ilişkin betimsel analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlgili çalışmalarda anahtar sözcük, ortak yazarlık, kurum ve ortak atıflar için ise kelimelere dayalı ağ haritalama ve kümeleme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları yönetim alanında güncel konulardan biri olan sessiz istifa kavramı ile ilgili alanyazındaki gelişim ve yönelimi yansıtmaktadır. Araştırma bulguları, iş-yaşam dengesini kuramama, tükenmişlik ve motivasyon eksikliğinin sessiz istifaya neden olduğu göstermektedir. Bunun yanı sıra sessiz istifa davranışının örgütlerde düşük düzeyde performansa, düşük örgütsel bağlılığa, tatminsizliğe ve işten ayrılmalara neden olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırmalarda, örgütte sessiz istifa davranışının önlenmesi için çalışma şartlarının iyileştirilmesinin, fazla iş yükünün azaltılmasının, esnek çalışma koşullarının düzenlenmesinin ve motivasyonu artırıcı yeni örgüt kültürünü geliştirmenin önemli olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın; gelecekte yapılması düşünülen çalışmalara, ilgili alanyazında olası boşlukları belirleyebilmesi ve yön verebilmesi bakımından katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
