Sessiz istifa kavramı, son dönemlerde iş hayatında büyük ilgi görmektedir. Sessiz istifa, çalışanların etkinliğini ve verimliliğini etkileyen bir davranış olması nedeniyle yöneticilerin ve insan kaynakları profesyonellerinin dikkatini bu konuya çekmiştir. Sessiz istifa genel olarak, çalışanın mevcut işinden ayrılması yerine işine asgari düzeyde katkı sağlaması, gönüllü olarak yaptığı işleri azaltması ve fazladan görev ve sorumluluk almaktan kaçınması şeklinde ifade edilmektedir. Örgütlerin amaçlarına ulaşabilmesi, sahip olduğu insan kaynaklarının moral ve motivasyonu ile yakından ilgilidir. Yeterli moral ve motivasyon desteğini alamayan çalışanların sessiz sedasız bir şekilde işleri olan bağlarını kesmektedir. Bu durum örgütlerin sürdürülebilir bir geleceğe sahip olmasını zorlaştırmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, günümüzde çalışanlar arasında giderek yaygınlaşan sessiz istifa konusunu incelemektir. Bu kapsamda sessiz istifanın daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi ve önlemesi konusunda yöneticilerin göz önünde bulundurması gereken noktalara dikkat çekilmiştir.

THE SILENT REVOLT IN THE WORKPLACE: THE EFFECTS OF QUIET QUITTING ON WORKING LIFE

Öz

The idea of quiet quitting has garnered quite the amount of interest lately in the corporate world. Since quiet quitting is a behavior that affects the effectiveness and productivity of employees, it has drawn the attention of managers and human resources professionals to this issue. In general, quiet quitting is characterized as the employee's minimal contribution to the job, voluntarily reducing the amount of work done and refraining from taking on extra duties and responsibilities instead of quitting the current job. The motivation and morale of the organization's human resources are linked to the accomplishment of its goals. The employees who do not receive sufficient morale and motivational support silently cut their ties with their jobs. This situation makes it challenging for organizations to have a sustainable future. The study's goal is to investigate the problem of quiet quitting, which is becoming increasingly prevalent among employees nowadays. In this context, the points that managers should take into consideration in order to better understand and prevent quiet quitting are emphasized.
