Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of quiet quitting among healthcare professionals is increasing. Individuals who engage in the quiet quitting process may also unknowingly become the target of quiet firing. The concepts of quiet quitting and quiet firing play a crucial role in promoting employee resilience and preventing organizational losses. METHOD: This study aimed to conduct a validity and reliability analysis of the quiet quitting and quiet firing scale (QQ and QF scale) in Turkish. A methodological study was conducted with 445 healthcare professionals. RESULTS: The item-total score correlation values ranged between 0.37 and 0.76. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a 14-item, two-factor structure. Cronbach's ⍺ internal consistency coefficient was 0.89. The QQ and QF scale had a strong negative correlation with the person-organization fit scale and the happiness at work scale subscales of engagement, job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment. CONCLUSION: The results showed that the adapted version of the QQ and QF scale was valid and suitable for use in Turkey.
