Abstract: The available literature shows that weakly contractive operators have been thoroughly researched in relation to metric spaces and associated fixed point theorems. These efforts, which broaden the concept of symmetric and asymmetric spaces, however, have not yet fully grasped the context of metric-like spaces.Considering this gap, this manuscripts introduces the notion of generalized weakly quasi contractive operators in metric-like space and investigates the existence and uniqueness of these operators' fixed points. Non-trivial comparative examples are constructed to support the assertions forming the main ideas herein. Some corollaries indicating that the idea of this paper encompasses a few related ones in the literature are highlighted and addressed.
