It is likely that US employees are minimal at work because they feel they have lost control over their lives.

The practice known as “quiet resignation” has collected steam in the United States after Covid pandemic. According to a 2023 Gallup survey, at least half of the American workforce of 170 million people are quiet chitters, according to a 2023 Gallup survey.

Now, researchers say they have tracked the root of the recent tranquility of quitting smoking with a feeling of uncertainty. Uncertainty about politics, economy, health and climatic crisis can make people feel as if they have lost control, which they believe could explain the resurgence of the phenomenon.

“Pandemia represented an added shock to the perception of control,” said Justine Herve, assistant professor at the New Jersey Stevens Institute of Technology, in a statement. “There was a lot of uncertainty.”

Silent abandonment may also be linked to the employee's belief that they are replaceable and a reduced commitment to their employer, the researchers said. However, fully understanding the precise mechanisms behind the silent resignation will require additional investigation.

The findings were based on an online survey of more than 1,400 people who answered questions about how they feel at work.

For employers, these responses can be disturbing, but there could be a quick solution to quit smoking, or at least one way to mitigate behavior.

Employers should ensure that their employees feel that their daily contributions matter and have a voice at work.

“That not only means giving employees more tasks or advantages: it is about creating conditions in which they feel that their work has an impact, their contribution is valued and are not easily replaceable,” added the assistant professor Hyewon Oh. “Managers can take small steps, such as involving employees in decision -making, clarifying how their work is connected to the biggest image or giving them property on significant projects.”

Communication with employees is key to reducing disconnection and exhaustion at work, Gallup said. According to the consulting firm, a significant conversation per week with each team member is the best habit for successful managers.

But, quiet smoking is not always negative, Stevens researchers said. Employees are still doing what is expected of them, after all.

“They are simply not making an additional effort, not assuming additional tasks, not spending more time to their work beyond the required hours,” said Herve. “Refusing to perform tasks beyond what is required contractually does not necessarily imply disconnection during work hours agreed.”
