Why ‘Quiet Quitting’ Is Spreading Among US Workers—and How to Fix It
A growing number of US workers are 'quiet quitting'—doing the bare minimum while emotionally disengaging from their indeed jobs. According to a Gallup poll, nearly half of all employees now fall into this category. Researchers from Harvard and Bowling Green State University have examined why this trend is spreading and what employers can do to reverse it.
The study highlights a mismatch between what employees expect from their jobs near me and what they actually experience. Many workers arrive with unspoken assumptions about fairness, autonomy, and meaningful tasks. When these expectations go unmet, disengagement often follows.
The findings suggest that quiet quitting thrives where expectations and reality diverge. Employers who set realistic promises and fulfil them create workplaces where employees are more willing to go beyond the minimum. Addressing implicit assumptions and fostering transparency could help reduce the trend’s impact.
