[Concept Analysis of Quiet Quitting]

"Quiet quitting" has become an important work culture issue since the global outbreak of COVID-19, with the pandemic helping heighten awareness of the importance of physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. A growing number of employees have adopted "quiet quitting" to rebalance work and life priorities, operating as a social strategy reflecting their personal commitment to reducing the centrality of work in their overall life. Currently, a clear definition and systematic conceptual analysis of quiet quitting are not provided in the domestic (Taiwan) literature. Following the steps of Walker and Avant's concept analysis, the concept of quiet quitting is analyzed by verifying dictionary and literature definitions; identifying defining attributes; providing model, borderline, contrary, and related case illustrations; establishing antecedents and consequences; and defining empirical references. Quiet quitting may be seen as a precursor of employee turnover and a predictor of resignation behavior. The objective of this conceptual analysis is to clarify the scholarly understanding of quiet quitting to help guide future nursing practices and related research on the current state of quiet quitting among nursing staff and, ultimately, enable organizations and managers to deploy effective management and improve workplace culture.
