Özet
In businesses, it is possible to encounter a recent phenomenon where employees go through their shifts doing the bare minimum that is required by their job descriptions, caused by some sort of perceived disfunction or dissatisfaction, often ignored or not even acknowledged by management. This phenomenon, identified in the literature as “quiet quitting” after the Covid 19 pandemic, is often linked with factors related to the workplace such as job conditions, job efficiency and job’s effects on the personal lives of employees, and not regarded as a personal issue. Quiet quitting impacts the performance and the climate of the workplace negatively, and can halt the professional development of employees. As education institutions are restructured to be similar to businesses more and more, quiet quitting is becoming a noticeable problem in schools of all levels. Schools, where teachers are traditionally expected to be selfless and devoted to their duties and students, is also experiencing this phenomenon. In this regard, the purpose of this research is to explore the views of teachers in Türkiye about quiet quitting and uncover the reasons behind it. This study, which is conducted within the qualitative paradigm, will adopt a phenomenological design. The study group of approximately 10 participants will be selected among teachers using maximum variation sampling, in order to have a more complete understanding of how quiet quitting is perceived among teachers of different generations and job experience. The data for the research will be gathered in semi-structured interviews, using an interview form prepared by the authors. The gathered data will be subjected to thematic analysis. It is expected from the results of the study that there will be a significant difference of knowledge and perception towards the quiet quitting phenomenon among different age and experience groups of teachers.
